But there is one matter that I'll have to hand to Senator Obama, he is on shaky enough ground given his name, race, lack of military experience... and now the NRA thinks they should shoot at him with a series of ads. Senator Obama as a Christian is extremely generous to McCain's pitiful whining. That has to be what I can like about the man. Love even your enemy... But McCain and <I>his</I> surrogates don't make use of the same "Christian" morality. Instead it is whine, whine, whine at every presumed slight. At some point, McCain needs to explain why he whines so much and still expects to be president.The New Arch Druid's take on the newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825705799696383447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-59992362218620238992008-07-01T13:51:00.000-07:002008-07-01T13:51:00.000-07:00Ray,Thanks.

War heroism doesn't qualify a person to be president. The hard truth is that one can speak that easy truth and still have high regard for the courage of the soldier, in this case, McCain. <BR/><BR/>But, what I just said is too clearheaded for the slimy waters of political discourse, the waters Obabma must do his best navigate.<BR/><BR/>I like this thread on your blog, btw.raymond perthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924633611890299829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-398456259522886872008-07-01T12:42:00.000-07:002008-07-01T12:42:00.000-07:00Ray, true but he needs to watch the balance betwe...Ray, true but he needs to watch the balance between hard truths and perceived slime.
