What does it say to you that McCain says Obama is a decent man?

Question

I saw this today on the news where McCain is telling his supporters that Obama is a decent man and they shouldn't be afraid if he becomes president and that he basically has respect for him but they disagree on policies.

I think McCain himself is upset that he hired people to run a smear campaign and the REAL McCain is coming out now (finally! i was wondering where that good man went) and can't handle pandering to peoples fears anymore.

What do you guys think?

Answer 1

I think you are right - McCain is a decent man too and I can't help but think that part of him is ashamed of the campaign he has run......



It is a shame, and an embarrassment, when people at his rallies are shouting out "terrorist" when ever Obama's name is mentioned



Make the Republicans look bad.......

Answer 2

i think that regardless of who wins Mccain now knows that cheap dirty tactics can backfire. i also still believe race is a factor whites still don't trust blacks.many of whom still support separation. may not come out and say it but it is what it is.truth of the matter is Obama has to work twice as hard because he is black.remember the promise to run a clean campaign from Mccain. it almost seem natural that because he is black he has to be muslim. for the record not all blacks or muslims are violent christians have bombed also see william ayers. he was white. why a country as powerful as ours continue this race thing baffles me i've traveled all over the world and many places treat blacks better then we do.Hispanic get the same kind of treatment but at a lesser degree.that's why they try to disassociate with blacks.i love this country for better or worse but to vote for a man who cares more for saving the rich man then the middle class is mind boggling.all reps want to do is blame Dem's when in fact a rep was in office for 8 years and and so called saw this but did nothing about it.sure the easy way out is to blame the other party. he vetoed everything else.clinton didn't give huge tax breaks to the oil companies and so left them unregulated nor did he carry us into a war with iraq.

Answer 3

I think McCain's people were really getting out of control. At one rally when Palin said "What should be do about Obama" someone yelled "Kill him!". Maybe McCain realizes that they are going way too far. I do have to say that McCain has restored a bit of my respect for him by doing that. Afterall, if Obama is such an EVIL man, how did he become a state senator, for heavens sake!

Answer 4

Perhaps McCain is being sincere.



But it doesn't matter. The smears are now so deeply ingrained into the masses that he can't just wish them away. No amount of urging or cautions or even apologies is going to change their minds.



His campaign has done more harm than can be fixed. Ever.



Well done, sir. I hope you can sleep well with that knowledge.

Answer 5

That McCain likes Obama. I find it funnier when Obama say things like actions speak louder than words. They support a man who talks a good game but has actually never done anything..

Answer 6

Country First, that's John McCain. Even if that's not what he believes, that we shouldn't fear an Obama presidency, he says it because the psychological factor in it is more valuable than some silly election.



This is the same man who backed the surge when it was not popular, famously quoting "I'd rather lose an election than have my country lose a war". If these ideals reach out to people, perhaps we won't lose either.

Answer 7

Nothing. I never liked McCain in the first place. I do, however, LOVE Sarah. Besides, I would vote for John and even Hillary to keep Obama out of office.

Answer 8

He and his campaign are the ones who created this hysteria. Trying to shut it down is, as he says, like trying to nail jello to a wall.



I think he's paying attention to the flak they've been getting about not addressing the scary comments from their voters; but way too little, and way, way too late.

Answer 9

I think actions speak louder than words. McCain showed his disdain for Obama during the debates. He was rude and disrespectful and that says a lot.

Answer 10

It says to me that McCain knows he looks like an @$$ now.

Answer 11

He's trying to get people back to what the election should really be about. That's all. The nastiness isn't really working for anyone.

Answer 12

When McCain says that Obama is a good man it says to me that he is respectful. He is kind and I appreciate his respect towards Obama even if Obama doesn't deserve it.

Answer 13

It says that McCain is a hypocrite.

Answer 14

Never trusted McCain anyway, but he is better than a terrorist loving traitor.

Answer 15

It says..AHHH, The truth DOES win out!!

Answer 16

I think he is a "decent" man.

Answer 17

idk. i will still think what i want about them both. someone could tell me that they were the best ppl in the world and i wouldn't care, i will judge them for myself thank you very much.

Answer 18

i believe it when he sings it in the streets!
