Has McCain made up his mind on what he stands for yet?

I agree!

.....and that is soooo true! I just don't trust him.... I have never really trusted politicians to be completely honest in dealings... That is just a given... But ya know when you just have this gut feeling that says, "this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong..." That is how I feel.....and it's not the color of his skin.... I think it is the color of his heart!

Maybe he's the anti-Christ.

Most people who aren't familiar with Obama don't know what his ideas are. Here's a link to the issues he's wanting to address...

I've said this before, but in my opinion McCain is a flip flopper who's political perspective changes when it suits his political gain. His past and his record, in my opinion, makes him a phony conservative. Not to mention he cheated on his wife of 14 years and left her for his current wife. So I really don't like him. I believe that if McCain wins it will only ruin the Republican Party because his policies and initiatives will take the Republicans further to the left. And McCain's policies are just continued Bush policies with a little more corporatism. So he's just offering "Bush Administration III". It would be better if he were his own man.

Hillary is just promising "Clinton Administration III". Her focus appears to be health care and continuing the Clinton legacy.

Obama....Obama is upfront about his liberal beliefs. We might disagree with him here on a couple things but he's not pretending to be something he's not as McCain is. Obama isn't offering us "Bush III" or "Clinton III", Obama offers us something brand new, a break from both Bush and Clinton policies. Obama offers us an "Obama Administration". Obama is sincerely wanting to change the tone and tenor of our nation. Right or wrong, Obama is far more sincere than Hillary or McCain in my opinion.

So if you don't want to see "Clinton III" and you don't want to see "Bush III", the only candidate that offers a break from all of this is Barack Obama.

Lately, the buzz about McCain's temper has started to hit the papers again. There are several areas in where he will be hit hard once the Presidential race is in full swing. His age, his flip-flopping, voting record and his temper. Many Republican generals, some retired, have stated that they would not want to have him as their Commander and Chief. In fact, many of them have left the Republican party because of him winning the Republican nominee, because they are so afraid of his response in time of crisis.

"I like McCain. I respect McCain. But I am a little worried by his knee-jerk response factor, I think it is a little scary. I think this guy's first reactions are not necessarily the best reactions. I believe that he acts on impulse." said retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004.

"I studied leadership for a long time during 32 years in the military," said retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, a one-time Republican who is supporting Obama. "It is all about character. Who can motivate willing followers? Who has the vision? Who can inspire people?" Gration asked. "I have tremendous respect for John McCain, but I would not follow him."

"One of the things the senior military would like to see when they go visit the president is a kind of consistency, a kind of reliability," explained retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, a former Republican, former chief of staff of the Air Force and former fighter pilot who flew 285 combat missions. McPeak said his perception is that Obama is "not that up when he is up and not that down when he is down. He is kind of a steady Eddie. This is a very important feature," McPeak said. On the other hand, he said, "McCain has got a reputation for being a little volatile." McPeak is campaigning for Obama.

McCain's outbursts have only occasionally been captured by the press. The most recent episode appeared to have occurred last May, when McCain was embroiled in immigration reform negotiations with Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. Cornyn accused McCain of "parachuting" in on the negotiations. During the heated exchange that followed, McCain screamed "***k you!" at Cornyn, according to news reports at the time. McCain later apologized.

Obama is a family man, is even-tempered, a professing Christian, a visionary and a man of peace who has a history of helping his community, yet people would vote for McCain who has no self-control, no clear stance or history regarding conservative values, record of lashing out and verbally abusing others and a proven womanizer/adulterer (cheating on two of his wives)? I just don't get it.... Oh, right, it's his name...

Many Christians have been socially conditioned by the Republican Party and the "sit & rant" Right Wing Media that they are the only choice for the Christian.

Republicans don't care one bit about Christians. Republicans see us as useful idiots that they can use and manipulate to get votes to keep power.
