McCain Booed After Calling Obama 'A Decent Person'
2008-10-11
I admire John for standing up to the lies, because he's still a good man in my eyes, just not the leader America wants.

#7  when your opponent doesn't hold himself to a standard, you and your supporters have to decide how much winning means. In this case, with decrepit SCOTUS judges holding out to avoid Bush appointments, it means a helluvalot. Losing with dignity is just plain stupid. Better to smoke Obama out and let history judge

#6  I'm not suggesting that he lose. I'm suggesting that class matters. Especially when your opponent lacks it.

#3  Please. There's such a thing as losing with class, Dr. Steve, see: "Dole, Bob". We know what we got with that one.

I'd prefer that McCain show that he understands that the opponent has not been a deceitful race-card-playing socialist who's buried his record of lies, associations with racists and terrorists, and uses his thug-machine to punish and gag his opponents. That's not the record of an honorable man. If McCain wants to take the high ground and stay clean, he shouldn't have agreed to wrestle with a pig (figuratively speaking).

#2  It's called, 'class'. Look it up.

#1  I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments." When people booed, he cut them off.

For phuechs sake. One must wonder if he "admires" Edi Amin, Barney Franks, Dodd, OJ, Al Capone or Ted Bundy as well? Congratulations Senator, that was a real crowd pleaser.
