Asking a question of John McCain

Can get you questioned by the Secret Service.

The question:
Q: This question goes to mental health and mental health care. Previously, I've been married to a woman that was verbally abusive to me. Is it true that you called your wife a (expletive)?
The word is cunt, as in:
Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."
The answer:
McCain: Now, now. You don't want to... Um, you know that's the great thing about town hall meetings, sir, but we really don't, there's people here who don't respect that kind of language. So I'll move on to the next questioner in the back.
The response:
Clive businessman Marty Parrish was escorted from Sen. John McCain's town hall meeting by Des Moines police and members of the Secret Service after asking McCain if he had called his wife Cindy an expletive in 1992.

Parrish, an ordained Baptist minister who holds a master's degree in political science, was questioned by Secret Service agents before being released. He was not charged in the incident. Parrish asked whether McCain called his wife Cindy an expletive related to the female anatomy, as has been alleged in the book "The Real McCain," written by Dem strategist Cliff Schecter.
I wonder if his name is now on the Terrorist Watch List because he dared ask a question...

And Senator, we really do want to know if you were crass and hot headed enough to curse at your wife undeservedly and in front of reporters. Because it would give us a snapshot of whether you could lose your temper and undeservedly bomb .. say... Iran.

So. Senator. Did you call your wife a cunt?

Gee, My Friend.

I really like the very classy way you put this in perspective.

Amen, Brother. I've always said you are highly intelligent, but you have no common sense. You know why, don't you? Because God gave it to me. ;-) (LOL) Even I would have found a more diplomatic way of phrasing that question. I tell Mom the only thing you did wrong was not say, "And I quote from the book 'The Real McCain',...". Maybe then, he might have answered vocally the question. But we all know, not to answer is usually considered an admission of guilt. I wonder if he'll be asked that question again from someone who can ask more tactfully and who has the COURAGE to speak up. Just remember:

John, Chapter 8, Verse 7, The scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman to him. They said that she was "..taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?" Jesus, knowing all things, was aware that they sought to accuse him, but he stooped down and began writing on the ground as if he didn't hear them. Yet they continued to hound him. "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them;

"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

Anyone who has read the Bible knows how this story ends. Now, I have a question for anyone and everyone who would "cast a stone" at you.

Are you without sin?

Are you a believer in God? Do you know Jesus the Christ? Does the Holy Spirit dwell in you?

I praise God that he has given me life. I praise God that he send Jesus to save my soul. I praise God that he has sent his Holy Spirit to guide me and to teach me how to understand his word, the Bible, Jesus Christ.

Thank you Holy Father for giving my brother the courage he has to be daring enough to ask a presidential candidate a very valid question. Jesus, please protect my brother from the evil spirits that would seek to harm him in any way. Lord I ASK IN JESUS NAME, that anyone who would seek to distroy him or harm him in any way, that YOUR vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. Holy Spirit, please guide my brother that he should find more tactful ways to voice his questions. These things I ask of the LORD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Carrie, if the only way you can talk to your 'brother' is by hunting down his posts I would respectfully suggest you pray about the love and healthy communication of family.

And by the way, praying to the God of Love to smite people isn't very consistent.

But thanks for the comment and the passion.

Marty, if this is you, I appreciate you bringing the story to the main stream media's attention...

Been trying. It got me no where by locked up the past four days in a psych ward. You will have to bring it to the mainstream media. I think I'll set this one out.

BTW, Carrie is my sister and has MS. She sent me a copy of this before posting it. I just saw it today.
