McCain somehow turned a meeting with an Evangelical preacher into a reminder that he was a prisoner of war. Seems like everywhere he speaks there is a sentence that includes Viet NAM and POW. Wish that McCain had remembered the heroes serving our country today by voting for Sen. Webb's GI Bill. Better yet, a plan to end this war and bring them home would be the ultimate tribute.

McCain was surprised that we have special op's teams working in Iran. So much for his military credentials.

McCain today met with evangelical leader Billy Graham and his son Franklin, discussing his experience during the Vietnam War and praying for “God’s will to be done in the upcoming election.”
....................................................

If God's will be done in the coming election then Obama will be the next President.

Well, if you pray for gods will to be done, and Obama wins, will you support his presidency because it was gods will? Or will you claim that its not gods will unless its your will.

Franklin Graham said in a statement: "I was impressed by his personal faith and his moral clarity on important social issues facing America today.”

Moral clarity and John McCain = Oxymoron

Newsweek is set to publish a highly embarrassing report on Sen. John McCain, revealing that the McCains have failed to pay taxes on their beach-front condo in La Jolla, California, for the last four years and are currently in default

Billy Graham's ambition, in the worldly sense of the word, is well documented. He has been known to betray his morals, in order to curry favor, and influence with the power in the Whitehouse. Nothing was more important to Billy, than being seen rubbing elbows with, and giving council to Presidents.

Graham's son Franklin was long known as wild, rebellious, and a 'bad boy' type. He was a worrisome embarrassment to his father. In fact, Billy resisted turning the reins of his ministry over to his son. He did not trust him.

Franklin, after many years, embraced Christianity. His first inclination toward that effort was to attack Islam. He noted it's phenominal growth throughout the world, and decided the trend deserved his personal bush-back; as a bizarre blip in what had been Christianity's sovereign right, in his mind, proliferation.

The McCain/Graham prayer service, as campaign theater, is a feeble attempt to manipulate our opinion of John as a pious man. Piety does not move one to dance around a stage singing, "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran".

I would be impressed with the Grahams had they rebuked Senator McCain for having sent over 4000 Americans, to their deaths, without reading the intelligence report. Knowing McCain lusts for more innocent American, and Middle Eastern blood, the Grahams should have driven McCain from their presence, with a righteous scolding.

Good for you McCain.Obamas trying to get into the action would be better spent with all religions. Why the snub to Muslims? Like the time Obamas wife made blacks leave the stage to make room for whites behind her . Oops she was over heard there too.Why does Obama distance himself from Jackson and Sharpton?He and Jackson were togeather way back when his wife addressed the push Rainbow Coalition. His wife sat next to Farrakhans wife.At least that was what the picture showed. I wasnt there. Just curoius why the selected religous thing. Obama going to have transparent presadency but has closed fundraisers(Ca. Bitter moment) Religous leader summit meeting. Pflager and Wright are gone from his religous workers. Wonder who is left and why locked? Hmmmm seems a lot we dont know here. Glad to see McCain with the Grahams.Nice Scags came early to meet him too. Glad Obama didnt take Wright,Meeks,Pflager with him. Wonder what this group was supposed to acomplish.Grahams are proud of there country and I remember they did a lot for the powswith prayers and rallys.God Bless America

I appreciate that McCain knows where to go for spiritual support and advice.
What Americans fale to remember it is God who puts leaders in office.
Most Christians do not put their faith in their leaders but in God.
As Billy Graham and his family are considered the most important spirtual family in the US I noted that God's will was being prayed-not the will of a particular party for person.
Chrisitans know that whatever happens in this election that God will take care of us.
I trust McCain more, now, as I trust his spiritual advisor.Is is not interesting that the Graham's never come out and critisize they tell us just to go to God's word for any answer we may be struggling with.
As a conservative I was not sold on McCain as I wanted to hear more about his views on what was important to me.
The number one thing, as an evangelical Christian is abortion. In addition, as I feel Americans really do care for one another, when we hear and see what partial birh abortion is all about, Americans do not stand for that. I will vote for McCain just on this issue as I have read what God's word says about life and when it starts.
God Bless

Sen. McCain requested this meeting. The Grahams were gracious enough not to turn him down. I think the Sen. did it because he wants to give the impression that the Graham family have endorsed him. I do not believe they would ever endorse him or anyone else.

McCain's team of strategists seem to have retrieved their arts of campaigning from a 50's time capsule.

Apparently the Grahams are willing to overlook mcsames affairs and dumping his first wife for the younger, prettier and richer cindy ...and since they have jumped into the political arena they should tell us how they spend the money they get too...one of the wealthiest families in NC...wonder how that happened from such humble beginnings...

hmmm, conseratives supporting Mccain, bet press dosent like that, they say it isnt happening. and why does msnbc say Mccain is defensive about spending. sounded truthfull to me . Allhe said is earmarks are bad, if the projects are valid they should go thru regular request channels and be voted on. sounds very truthful, while not quiet popular. not like the press or Obame who will say what they think people want to hear whether possible or not.

Franklin, if your wife was raped and was pregnent by her attacker, how would you vote on abortion then? Would you keep the child as a reminder, or just throw it away. Remember what the LORD said; Judge not, lest you be judged. Quit trying to talk as if you were GOD & trying to control of the thoughts of christians. Let the real GOD move mens hearts and minds in this election. Amen.

Senator McCain,
I like how you wove in your POW years and the history the Graham's have with your family. Very nicely done.

Now, did that little issue of leaving your first wife for your current wife come up with respect to moral clarity?
Or, what about the issue of the beach-front condo in California, allegedly being in default over taxes?
Or, how in 2000 you were for keeping Roe vs. Wade, but now you think it should be overturned?
Just curious.

McCain having prayer with the Grahams can only help America, I hope Obama goes and prays with the Grahams for the Lord's will to be done in America.

Wow, John McCain and Billy Graham. Two senile old fossils sitting around talking about their imaginary friend in the sky, while Franklin sits there seeing dollar signs. McCain is desperate to pander to the religious right, thinking and hoping that they would never, ever elect a half-negro with an exotic-sounding name. This reveals the true depth of his cynicism and desperation. If he wins the election it will not be by legitimate means, and it won't be because the religious right all lined up behind him, either.
