[FWIW, I'm competely ashamed too...so I hope you weren't aiming this at me (because I disown/disavow it completely--I wouldn't have sold my vote (to Obama) for 100 Trillion Dollars)/aka "everything I ever wanted on this earth for myself or all of my family." No.]
Course it was inevitable when that idiot McCain was picked by the Republicans.
[I disagree here--I think McCain is a a true Patriot and a man of Honor. But at the same time, I think he was also (because he IS a good and decent man) too willing to believe the same of his political opponent.
There was a clip a couple of weeks back where a woman (at a McCain rally) took the mic..and said she was afraid of Obama: "He's a Muslim," she said...
McCain stopped her, and said something like "No...he's a good and decent man."
I LIKE John McCain. And so I can easily see why he would have wanted to think that about Obama.
But I think he was wrong at that moment too. I think he was unwilling...(because he IS the sort of man who wants to think the best of his fellow man)...to even suspect anything worse of his opponent than he would have thought of himself.
In this he failed us. He SHOULD have suspected worse.
I think the woman who challenged him was completely right, and I think McCain was wrong.
JM was simply ...UNABLE to face the truth of what his opponent actually IS.
God will forgive him for his error. I only hope God will also keep the rest of us from paying a severe price for his mistake at the same time.
But somehow I suspect God won't. Revalation and all that.....

You forget that he nevertheless allowed his campaing to spill out truckloads of hateful slanderings, putting Obama in one bag with bin Laden, with the KGB, with Islamism in special and terrorism in general, not to mention those evil wicked socialists, and allowing manipulative attributions being constructed about him that hardly can be topped in destructiveness and intention to personally hurt the man. MacCain either campaigned with split tongue, or he did not have his campaign waggon under control and was not master in his house. MacCain waged a very destructive, negative campaign, and I think that helped the Blues - people didn'T like it, like most people are of the opinion that the goal does not justify any means.
