Rick Warren asks John McCain about moral failure

Rick Warren asks John McCain the same question about moral failure. John McCain's answer to his personal failure is solid. His first marriage. He doesn't elaborate and say that he was adulterous which would have been more complete but politically disasterous. Then he completely tanks the next part of the question. What was American's biggest moral failure? After 9-11 the president shouldn't have said to go shopping. What? That doesn't really answer the question.

McShame is twisting his slimy actions of cheating to getting votes, what a guy. He is the devil himself.

First; I am a registered Independent AND proud to be conservative! Second; until last week he was on the shortlist for the Veep spot a "heartbeat" from the presidency. You should be thankful this came out now and not October! McCain wasn't a public figure when he had his lapse of moral turpitude and clearly has repented since then. Clearly you think there is nothing wrong with his character, perhaps you can work with and donate to his next campaign!

McCain cheated on his wife because she was in a car accident which physically disabled her and took 4 inches off of her height. Justify that.

He's not running for any political office right now. He didn't even MAKE IT to the primaries. It doesn't matter now. It's not proven, also, that he payed the ex mistress anything. But I do think that people like yourself have a propensity to demonize democrats because you believe that conservatives/ republicans are all perfect. For instance, Sean Hannity stated that the reason that McCain cheated on his wife was because he was a POW for 5 1/2 years and a different person, when that was a lie.

That is patently false! Because Mr. Edwards was running for the highest office in the nation it became everyones business. When asked even in October '07 by members of the media he denied it. So his propensity to lie is evident. His lapse of moral turpitude reflects his character or lack thereof. Furthermore, it is yet to be determined if he actually broke campaign finance laws by making payments to his mistress. stay tuned, he may yet face criminal charges.

THe only people who matter in this situation is Edwards and his wife. NOT the rest of the world. Edwards did a dumb thing to his wife and family 2 years ago. Why is that YOUR business. Clinton lied under oath, totally different from Edwards who simply didn't want to share that information with the world.

[ricardocobos1]

Edwards is being "Bashed" because like Clinton, when he was confronted about he repeatedly lied. Unlike Clinton who lied under oath which is in fact a crime and just Like Detroit DNC May Kwami Kilpatrick lied about his affair under oath and spent the night in jail.

I DVR'd it but I have no idea how to offload it.

Brules; w-hat a humbling comment. I like you, felt the same about McCain. I was so moved by his apparent honesty I went to his campaign website and donated today.

I noticed after watching this debate that the people are who corrupt politics with there inablity formulate their own perspective. Us people rot politics with one sided nonsense and our fear to listen to both sides and our constant ability to judge with out listening. I myself thought mccain was a terrible canidate but I realize that I can only judge him after giving him a chance and hes not that stupid and out of touch. I'm done listening to people and i'm just watching events like this now on.
