On Thursday, John McCain accepted the presidential nomination of the Republican Party. “Change is coming,” he promised the roaring Republican National Convention and prime-time television audience.
MCCAIN TRIBUTE
During the night, the Republican National Convention paid tribute to the Republican presidential candidate.
CINDY MCCAIN’S RNC SPEECH
Cindy McCain explained why her husband should be president: “It’s going to take someone of unusual strength and character — someone exactly like my husband — to lead us through the reefs and currents that lie ahead. I know John. You can trust his hand at the wheel.”
@ja
I understand ur point. I noticed that you said u tithe so correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing that u are Christian. I am a believer as well and I won’t make the mistake I did four years ago by voting republican b/c of the anti abortion anti gay marriage perspective. Voting someone into gov. office will not change the hearts of man God does. Last time I checked planned parenthood is still big business under the Bush admin. And we have two states where gay marriages are allowed. Just wanted to throw that out there.
@ Undeclared
Thank you. But I believe that the world is the world. and you make great point but think of the other 48 states who do not allow same sex marriage. And you really should look into the Justice Foundation or Clayton Trotter. George bush cant do anything about these issues alone ( checks and balances) but he supports this foundation when they go before the courts. Planned Parenthood v. Casey was the case that was suppose to take down roe v wade and Bush ( Daddy ) even appointed two judges making 8 judges republicans and pro-life. In the end only five justices stuck to the guns, one being Clarence Thomas. Right now actions are being taken to go back before the courts and you can get involved Goerge Bush is backing these actions. They even have the real roe(Norma) and Doe( Sandra) on the prolife side. and the courts are listening. Vote a pro life in office may not do it all but it sure does help
@56 What does two states allowing gay marriage have to do with anything?
56.
Undeclared,
I really appreciate your honesty. I remember the second term of Bush came around and I was in college. When we were discussing politics, some of my christians friends was coming down on me hard for wanting to vote for Kerry. All the kept saying was “you’re gonna vote for someone who supports gay marriage and abortions and call yourself a christian” It was terrible to hear them say “I’d rather go to war or even deal with the draft” before gays are allowed to marry because that is a sin. It was crazy. I’m not a fan of the whole gay marriage or abortion thing, but I’m no God and have no room to judge them. That’s between them and God in my book. Now those same people that argued me down are the same ones talking about how gas prices sky rocketed and how the economy is so terrible. To me McCain is the same as Bush. I actually chose to be an independent because there’s good and bads of both parties. My vote is for Obama on this one though. This is based on policies between the two candidates. And yes I have actually sat and watched both conventions and I’m ready for the debates.

@57 I was voting for Kerry too. Those same Christians that argued you down are the same ones who like to judge everyone. It’s funny how they yell about gay marriage and abortion being sins, yet people lie, steal, and cheat just the same. No sin is greater than the other right? Please. It’s not your right to judge gays or women who want abortions. It’s only your job to pray for them. That’s it.
Both of these political parties are using what is called “religion” to manipulate the minds of the people. Obama and McCain feign spirituality and devotion to the Most High because the powers that be know that America is falling because of it’s evil. They also know that as dumb as the people are, even the average American knows America is falling. What they do is play both sides of the fence in regards to the Most High’s Word and make the people who think that they believe in the Lord and “family values” think that they have an option, outlet, or representative for their views. This is why you have black people that will vote, much less vote “Republican”. Both the so-called “Republicans” and the so-called “Democrats” are advocates of hom*sexual marriage, abortion, etc. America and the powers that control it need things like abortion because the killing of babies is necessary as a sacrifice to the higher satanic forces that keep America afloat. All previous empires sacrificed children to keep their reign alive and America is no different. If believers in the Most High’s Word want an understanding as to why they shouldn’t get involved in politics, they should read Isaiah 32:5-8.

OBAMA/Biden 08 “YES WE CAN”
@Judah I read it and I dont understand. Honestly I dont understand much when it comes to the bible. My mother is a Jehovahs Witness so she has explained to me why they dont get invovled with politics. My father is a Rastafarian (hard core). My grandparents were Catholic and my husband is Baptist. His parents almost died when I told them I dont belong to any religion. I’ve just been exposed to so many different ones. I forgot I attended a Seventh Day Adventist private school until my junior year in HS.
Bye the way, I went to HS in Brooklyn with a Judah. IS that your real name?
@47 said:
“Now I see that Obama is enlisting the help of Hillary and Kathleen. Interesting that he couldn’t put her on his ticket but needs her help against Palin with the women voters. The story is on CNN. Obama is quite a politican. His attack dogs and fellow supporters or should I say loyal supporters trashed Hillary to death. Now, they need her help. WOW – what he won’t do to get elected”.
^ Really? Out of all the whining, hypocritical, hateful tactics and hat tricks that McCain has pulled out of his bag during all of this you have the nerve to talk about Obama? McCain seen his chances for the White house slipping away during Obamas Speech last Thursday…so what does McCain do? Make a last minute irresponsible choice picking Palin just to bring in the womans vote and disgrunted Hillary Clinton supporters…and your talking about Obama? McCain spent the majority of this campain whining about all the media attention Barack was getting and using his campainers as attack dogs with unnecessary antics simply because he had nothing else. He has done every and any little desperate thing to try to keep himself in this race, including going as low as trying to use Baracks campain method of “CHANGE” and tried to make it his own during his speech lastnight…he has been in Washington for over 25 years…how can he talk about “change” when he has been part of the problem? This is also the same man that during hurricane katrina, was photograughed having cake with Bush as the rest of the world watched New Orleans drown. He is 72 years old, I think it is safe to say he is pretty much set in his ways. So please give everyone a break.
As far as Hillary, she was already going to campain for Barack before all this… as I am sure he would have campained for her. I’m tired of people acting as if he was obligated to make her his VP simply because they were running mates. I like Hillary, but she lost! Would she had made Barack her VP if he lost? Probaly not, but who knows. Unlike McCain..Barack actually did the responsible thing by thinking things out and picking a VP that actually fits his needs and what is best for the country if anything happens to him during his tenture as president (god for bid). People accused Barack for not having enough experience..so what does he do? He goes and gets a VP with 20 years experience who specializes in international affairs (including negotiations with world leaders and war which is one of Barcks weaknesses). Hillarys stans need to get over, it if they (or you) really cared about the nations best interrest and not simply just Hillary they would make the right decision regardless of gender. And how do people know that Barack won’t pick Hillary to be apart of his over all team in the white house office (like a Condeliza Rice type role)? Exactly.
Im neither a Democrat or Republican, i’m an independent voter…so I am open minded and at the beggining of this was simply not ready to vote for Barack simply because he’s black.. or Hillary simply because she’s a woman.. or McCain because he’s a war hero…I wanted to hear what they had to say. McCain turned me off with all his whining and the continued talk of war and drilling holes all over the planet, and not enough talk about the other important issues…I did not like the negative tone of his campain and the antics that he pulled these past few weeks with this Palin pick just to try to bring in woman voters has completely turned me off. His pick has not only made me question his choices, but his agenda. He picked this woman simply to try to bring in woman to vote, not because she was qualified enough (which is dangerous for Americans should something happen to him)…that is insulting. Now all of a sudden they are trying to steal Hillarys logic of cracking the “18 million cracks in the ceiling”, as if this is supposed to be about woman impowerment…keep in mind this is the same man that voted against women getting equal pay for equal work. Plus, Palin stands against anything Hillary stands for so i’m trying to figure out how they thought she could bring in Hillarys voters… unless they were voting for Hillary simply because she’s a woman. They have stolen both Barack and Hillarys campain messages simply because THEY don’t have one of there own. His campain has been a circus of HYPOCRISY, BIGOTRY, DECEPTION and LIES, i’m over it.
Barack will be getting my vote not because he is black…because I like his views and appreciate his vision of the way he wants the country to go. Also, I appreciate the fact that he has tried to run his campain the RIGHT way, thinking about what America needs first and not just about himself. I like the positive tone he has set throughout all of this and like the message he is trying to send. If people disagree with him on his issues..fine, but I am sick and tired of people trying to bring this man down and mocking him for actually trying to do something POSSITIVE with America and trying to get us back in good standings not only as a country but with other countries as well (something Bush has also jacked up during his tenture as President). So enough already, what Barack is doing with Hillary is a counter attack…its politics. And i’m glad he did it. I now truely beleive that Barack truely wants to send this country in the RIGHT direction. Do I beleive that all of his policies will work… I don’t know…but I belive in HIM.

No, “Judah” is just a name I use on this site. I’m born and raised in the Bronx, so no, that wasn’t me. Lol. Isaiah 32:5-9 is using the parable of the “liberal” (the Democrats) and the “churl” (the Republicans). Isaiah 32:6 breaks the Democrats down to a tee. It notes how they speak with “hypocrisy” and “utter error against the Lord” (promotion of hom*sexuality/lesb*anism/gay marriage/abortion/etc.). This is why the verse states that they “make empty the soul of the hungry”. These guys have black people thinking that they’re going to help them, or that they’re putting forth doctrines to enlighten the black community and they are just being left even more in darkness. To be “churlish” is to be “boorish” or “uncouth”. This is why the Republicans don’t mince words or make false promises to black people. Notice the scripture states that they “devise wicked devices to destroy the poor”. That’s why “Republican” is the party of choice for the monetarily elite.
