McCain on Sex education...

LOL are you serious?
Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

Q: “I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?
Mr. McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?”

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.”

Why must we site another person's strengths/weakness that has absolutely nothing to do with the original topic to try and explain/excuse an obviously embarrassing response to a simple question? :face-icon-small-dis

I'm not trying to explain or excuse McCain's response. I don't even like the guy. I think it's pretty pathetic that we are even considering sex education in a presidential campaign, don't we have a lot more important things to be considering?

Obama on the other hand, I'll stand by what I posted earlier. Racist POS. You don't associate with people like his his pastor for over 20 years, have him marry you and babtize your children if you don't agree with him.
 
i dont know how anyone in a proper state of mind could think of supporting obama.
he only proclaims to be a christian for the last few years because of the political games he is playing. he is no christian, he is muslim.

and why are we passing out condoms? parents should be teaching their kids about all this. not the schools. do we really want a teacher telling our children to wear condoms? to use contraceptives? to get a diaphram? or should we as parents be parenting our children and teaching them proper values? give me a break..........ok, off the soap box

bigfoot, don't get me wrong here, I agree with you 100% on your Obama stand.

Just found it odd to use that to somehow try and justify McCain's remarks, or lack there of.

The point is that it is an issue for many people, and the guy can't make a decision but he has to ask his staff what HIS view is on that. Why can't he tell us what his view is on it?

This thread is really not about Obama but pretty much 98% of what you posted about Obama is wrong.
 
if you think its wrong you should go back the timeline at least 4 years and see where obama was and what he has done. im sure someone will say people change..........but apparently too many people have forgotten what happened on 9/11. have you seen which candidate has the most support from the christian base??? it is not obama
 
we all see how easy it is to put something on the forum, whether it be true or false. how many thousands of people do you think go on obamas website and read all the balogney thats on there?

the only skill that obama has is his speaking. he is a tremendous speaker. he is smooth, clear, concise, uses proper language and his body language matches his verbal language. he has been coached well and it shows. but if you really, and i mean REALLY look at his track record you can only come to one conclusion, he is not what he seems and is overall the worst candidate for president...............imo

Why don't you show me what he has done that has been so horrible.

I don't understand the 9/11 reference; care to explain?
 
Scary

I JUST WISH THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING ABOUT Mcain, thats not the feds jurisdiction anyway.!!!!! Swampy:beer;

Much like hillery, he has done NOTHING! He is a bump on a log at our tax dollars expense. He is anti american, anti white, anti pretty much everything this country stands for. He has greasy lips that spew forth whatever people want to hear. He wont take a stand on anything....Sadly our only choise is McCain. He will keep our country safe, of that I have no doubt but pretty much every thing else he is going to screw us on.:(
 
lol wild you hit a homer buddy.

mile, im not sure if you back obama, whether you do or dont is not important. what is imortant is that each of us should research thoroughly every candidate, their history, their vote record, their religious ties and affiliations. please dont think that im bashing you, im not. i wouldnt just say these things w/out proper cause. there is a ton of information out there, just tends to be that the info we see first is usually all the hype and glitz, dig deep and youll find the truth.

in fact, if you do dig deep youll find the truth that the best sled out there is arctic cat lol
 
my thoughts on mcain, yep, he is a terrible speaker. doesnt want to get caught w/ his pants down or say the wrong thing or contradict himself. i would prefer he be more forthcoming of HIS views rather his entourage. BUT..................as president mcain is smart enough to use his entourage and do what is best for our country, and imo that is protect what is ours and our allies.

i dont think that mcain is a strong candidate, BUT I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT HIM AND THANK HIM, AS WE ALL SHOULD TO A FORMER PRISONER OF WAR

Sldgy I can see why you think I made that comment to justify McCain's non answer, but that wasn't what it was meant to do. It was really meant to show how much worse the alternative is, and to demonstrate how Obama gets a pass on things much worse than not being able to give a straight answer on a subject that really should not be an issue in a presidential campaign.
