McCain is gambling industry’s biggest supporter in Congress

One wonders how Republican evangelicals, who oppose gambling on moral grounds, reconcile their support of John McCain with his CONGRESSIONAL RECORD on gambling issues.

Pat,
Take a rest already. How about Obama calling out dead beat dads and south side Chicago residents for drug use when those are the same folks he is counting on for his win. Morals I think you are the one that is lacking.

ring leader: Your comment is satirical, right? Or do you actually think that Obama counts on deadbeat dads and drug abusers on Chicago’s South Side to win him the presidency? Do you not understand that it will take tens of millions of votes to win the election? If I might use your unique way with a phrase, ringo, brains I think you are the one that is lacking.

That’s because they are hypocrites. But what do you expect from the crowd who thinks God says it’s okay to bet when you’re on the water, but not on the land. Betting on horses and dogs is okay, but betting on dice is evil. Betting on balls is great if it’s lotto or bingo, but never if that ball travels around a wheel.

Wait a minute, Obama is for all people but sat in a church for 20 years listening to a racist preacher. Pat your full of crap. No one agrees on everything with everyone.

Ah, DingDong again falls back on the Rev. Wright issue, as if anybody else cares. Wake up, Dingie. It’s almost October. That stuff is soooo April. It didnt’ work then, and it won’t work now.

Pat your the one bring up the past. I know, what someone does in their past means nothing, only what they say they will do for you.
7. LD | September 28th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
DingDong, the past matters again? So does that mean you’d like to discuss McCain’s involvement in the Savings and Loan crisis? Perhaps that should be revisted in light of the current banking crisis? Just what “poor judgement” is McCain exercising this time?
8. DingDong | September 28th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
LD: Sure go for it. McCain even after being exonerated, apologized.
The Senate Ethics Committee concluded that Glenn and McCain’s involvement in the scheme was minimal and dropped the charges against them. In August 1991, the committee ruled that the other three senators had acted improperly in interfering with the Federal Home Loan Banking Board’s investigation.

Sorry, LD, that topic is apparently off limits to the GOP. Some McCain critic tried to bring up the Keating 5 scandal on the “Fox and Friends” daily propaganda fest when somebody in the control room at Fox blurted “Cut his mic.” Steve Doocy then explained that it’s old news that belongs on the History Channel. Not only a bad week for McCain, but for Fox News as well.

No, but Sean Hannity still rolls the audio once or teice a week on his radio show to get his flock riled up. Strange isn’t it, though,that for a channel that insists it’s “fair and balanced,” never talks about Sarah Palin’s fringe Assembly of God church and its core belief that all religions other than their own are demonic?

Ding Dong, oh yes, he apologized, just like he apologized for opposing the Martin Luther King Jr holiday. Care to guess what he’ll apologize for a few years from today?
I’m sorry…once again I excercised extremely poor judgement…
when selecting my running mate.
when I said the war in Iraq was winnable.
when I said the fundamentals of the economy were strong.

Your answer to DingDong Pat is BS, an evil friend is always an evil friend on both sides. It may excite you that his spiritual advisor was and is a black activist but some of us have better taste than that.
13. DingDong | September 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Thanks Bob. Another person who is mentioned in Obama’s book is Frank Marshall Davis a mentor to Obama and a communist. Which leads me to Obama threatening television stations with the DOJ if they ran an ad connecting to Ayers which was true. Sounds like Soviet style politics. Obama has threatened to sue anyone airing “false” ads.

Bob Ham: Martin Luther King was “a black activist.”
15. DingDong | September 28th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Pat:I think your getting senile, not in the same way.

And who does Sarah Palin turn to for spiritual guidance? A witch hunter. Nice. I thought the “hands on “ceremony and references to withches at the Wassila church was REAL comforting.
The Senate ethics committee found John McCain practiced “Poor Jugement”. With all the practice he’s had in poor judgement he should have down by now. Hey how about the Palin pick. I think it will be “Awesome ” when we go to war with Russia over Georgia.
