- pittpat, on 07/28/2008, -19/+144Yeah, we wouldn't want any of those "gays" teaching our kids about morality or loving everybody for who they were as a person instead of the color of their skin or how much was in their bank account! We a man and a woman to do that! Look how well it's worked so far!
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -14/+101yeah, well I don't think walking corpses should hold public offices either
- cave, on 07/28/2008, -12/+86Obama might not have a perfect score on civil rights either but... If this man is elected, I really feel sorry for America. He says family values, I hear hate, pettiness and discrimination.
- 10scott10, on 07/28/2008, -10/+81***** you. two of my friends died from overused internet memes
- qdkk, on 07/27/2008, -8/+73Amazing. You managed to be bigoted, heartless, mean spirited, ignorant, judgmental, impatient, and conservative. Well done.
- Phyraxus, on 07/28/2008, -8/+67Q: "Have you stopped calling your wife a *****?"
A: "I’m running for president of the United States because I want to help with family values." - yurishoujo, on 07/28/2008, -6/+63You know, if most of America would wake up, they'd realize McCain is slamming single parents with this statement as well. And there are TONS of single parents out there. Way to alienate millions with one statement.
- Nin10dude, on 07/28/2008, -12/+68The sickest part is that people agree with this guy. He's one of countless people... the fact that attitudes like this are still even somewhat acceptable in our society is mindblowing and completely insane.
- theloofa, on 07/28/2008, -8/+61With one sentence, an entire demographic is alienated...
- TsuruchiBrian, on 07/28/2008, -12/+62What about straight people that adopt and then one gets a sex change and the other turns gay. Should they have their children taken away?
We need to start asking McCain the kinds of questions that will give him an aneurysm. - alx1507, on 07/28/2008, -7/+57Wow, they're not allowed on planes OR to adopt children.
- nblsavage, on 07/28/2008, -6/+53You're being redundant. Conservative would have covered all the bases.
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -64/+110***** you. Two of my friends died from living with gay parents.
Orphanages ftw - ncairns, on 07/28/2008, -4/+48Funny. According to the CWLA, the ABA, the NASW, the NACAC, the AAP, the AAFP, and all three APAs homosexual couples make equally competent parents as heterosexual couples.
But clearly you know better than all them. - chase001, on 07/28/2008, -2/+42It worked out great for McCain's kids from his first monogamous committed marriage, didn't it?
- aircows, on 07/28/2008, -5/+43"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
pursuit of happiness is definitely a dopey liberal leftist ideal - ThePwnyExpress, on 07/28/2008, -4/+38do people actually think that because a child is raised by gay or lesbian parents that the child will automatically turn out homosexual?.... yeah, right... because all kids raised by a mother and father turn out straight...
- AngelBunny, on 07/27/2008, -20/+53rofl
mccain: not knowing his own positions for at least 100 years.
when asked what has been the biggest help to mccains' carrier he mumbled: my flash cards
of course I'm joking but still, mccain makes me laugh. Is that wrong? lol - theaceoffire, on 07/28/2008, -3/+36"Your parents don't conform to my views, NO PARENTS FOR YOU!"
Parent Nazi. - Chompy, on 07/28/2008, -4/+36If ignorant hillbillies like yourself are the result of "traditional" families, then I say bring on the gay parents.
- deadlydentures, on 07/28/2008, -7/+38McCain's position is a very common one among republicans and conservatives. This doesn't really surprise me at all. In fact, if he supported gay couple's right to adoption, I would be shocked.
- AngelBunny, on 07/27/2008, -7/+37so it is a gene that makes people sick perverts? i learn something new every day.
i have a friend who was raised by two lesbians and he turned out fine. Actually, I was quite surprised he was when he told me. When I met them I honestly couldn't tell that they where a couple. They seemed more like room mates to me. They even sleep in different beds, or as far as I know. I couldn't find anything perverted about them. - duggdowncatisad, on 07/28/2008, -2/+30Presidents appoint Supreme Court justices.
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -3/+30What planet do you idiots live on?
- halogenik, on 07/28/2008, -4/+30If McCain had grown up an orphan, he would have been begging for somebody to adopt him, gay couple or not. It's despicable to think that it's better for a kid to stay in an orphanage than to be raised by two loving parents, same sex or not.
Any orphans, liberal or conservative, that were not adopted as babies but had to grow up in orphanages and foster homes will tell you the same thing. - KloroFormd, on 07/28/2008, -3/+29(nearly) any parents > no parents
- Akairenn, on 07/28/2008, -4/+29"hey're the ones more concerned that we didn't find any WMDs in Iraq, than they are about the new found, and fragile, FREEDOM that all Iraqis now enjoy."
How about I kick you in the groin repeatedly, for letting your dog crap in my yard?
Oh, it wasn't you? You don't even live anywhere near me? Oh well. You must be some kind of bleeding heart liberal if you care that I just kicked you in the nuts under false pretenses, amirite?
Tool. - SilverBack101, on 07/28/2008, -7/+32I don't know why but I read that title as "McCain Caves: "Orphans Shouldn't Have Parents".
- denizen42, on 07/28/2008, -3/+28How about not wanting kids brought up by sick bloodthirsty gun freaks? by genocidal enthusiasts? by sociopath corporate pigs? Where is your so-called 'moral' outrage for those cases? You are such a hypocritical idiot.
- JigoroKano, on 07/28/2008, -3/+27They died from an overused meme.
- TobiasParker, on 07/28/2008, -3/+27Obama writes many of his own speeches and is a very articulate man. Have you ever watched an Obama speech or do you just see the Talking Points on Fox News.
- Infidelcastr0, on 07/28/2008, -0/+22Ya, cuz the GOP so had a shot with gay voters to begin with....
- sydtom, on 07/28/2008, -3/+25What a child needs is a loving environment. It makes no difference of the sexuality of the parent.
There are so many children in this world who don't have love, even from another person. To say gay people aren't capable of raising a happy, healthy and loved child is to say gay people are less human than straight people.
Who made that decision? - Zarokima, on 07/28/2008, -3/+24You fail at life. For the good of humanity, please kill yourself.
I'm not just being snarky, seriously kill yourself.
No really, there's nothing but seriousness here. Hang yourself, suck a tailpipe, throw a toaster in the bath, whatever, just ***** die. - 10scott10, on 07/28/2008, -4/+25the only person here who hates america is the person who would rather see these kids grow up homeless, than have parents who don't conform to your view.
yeah, i went there - deadlydentures, on 07/28/2008, -2/+22Perhaps, but the reason people are against gay couple's adoption rights is not because the child will be ridiculed in school. ( and if that is the case then that specific problem needs to be addressed, and not deprive people of rights )
To me, it seems the motivation to go against gay couple adoption is because people feel homosexuality is wrong, and in order to fight it they seek to deprive all the rights they can. - nblsavage, on 07/28/2008, -4/+24*pshaw* Don't you know that all those are godless, liberal organizations pushing the homosexual agenda?
/sarc - halogenik, on 07/28/2008, -2/+21I am a single parent and we should be slammed because there are to many of us.
I am a father that raises my child and think that we should not raise children by our selves.
No offense man, but if you really believed that you would have:
a) not gotten divorced and/or separated
b) remarried
c) worn a condom - themonkman, on 07/28/2008, -1/+20I have to say that I've known far more sick, perverted, and depraved straight people than I have homosexuals by about a factor of 5. I'm a straight guy myself, but what would your opinion be if the majority of humans were homosexual, all reproductive logistics aside? Straights would likely be seen as sick and perverted. Also, there are many examples in nature where mammals, such as monkeys, have been observed doing homosexual acts. I suppose that homosexual monkeys are just sick and perverted?
- eir574, on 07/28/2008, -1/+19"Ok, so without a man and a woman there are no kids"
If that were true, this article wouldn't exist.
I have nothing but the greatest respect for anyone, heterosexual or otherwise, who would give a child in need a loving home. - nblsavage, on 07/28/2008, -6/+24I'm guessing he turned out better than you, closet case.
- samrum, on 07/28/2008, -1/+18You're now hearing what every Republican means when they say they stand for family values.
- eir574, on 07/28/2008, -1/+18"therefore presenting a paradox as to why they exist in any numbers in the first place"
I know this wasn't the main point of your post (and I can't tell you how refreshing your point of view is), but I'd like to take this opportunity to try to clear up this misconception since I see it on a regular basis.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that a trait which prevents people from reproducing will be eliminated from the gene pool. But, remember that even genetic diseases that always result in death before puberty persist in the population. For the simple case of a trait that's passed on through a single recessive gene, two parents who carry one copy of the recessive allele have a 25% chance of producing a child who has two copies. The parents are healthy, but the child is not. That child doesn't survive to reproduce, but each of the parents' children has a 50% chance of receiving a single copy of the recessive allele. Thus, we have new carriers who may not even be aware of the fact that they carry this gene.
It's also possible that homosexuality has no genetic cause, but is instead caused by biological factors such as abnormalities in hormone exposure in utero (which is supported by studies in mice). - chase001, on 07/28/2008, -7/+23Another reason he is a dinosaur and out of touch with reality and modern times. Christian fundamentalists and conservatives are scary and dangerous.
- mushoo, on 07/28/2008, -0/+16Angel I think nblsavage was replying to Thelast(closeted *****)smoker not you.
- charm803, on 07/28/2008, -9/+25I agree with McCain.
I think all orphans should have white, drug addicted and alcoholic straight parents.
/sarcasm (because I know diggers) - bullox, on 07/28/2008, -0/+16Tell that to the kids without parents.
- LunaticFringe, on 07/28/2008, -1/+16http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_hunts
In August 1999, Jack Harvey, pastor of Tabernacle Independent Baptist Church in Killeen, Texas allegedly arranged for at least one member of his church to carry a handgun during religious services, "in case a warlock tries to grab one of our kids...I've heard they drink blood, eat babies. They have fires, they probably cook them..." During speeches which preceded his church's demonstration against Wiccans, Rev. Harvey allegedly stated that the U.S. Army should napalm Witches. One of the protesters carried a sign which read "Witchcraft is an abomination" on one side and "Burn the witches off Ft. Hood" on the other. A Wiccan faith group is active at Ft. Hood, a large army base near Killeen. - Ghoztt, on 07/28/2008, -2/+17Did they catch the gay?
- lydecker, on 07/28/2008, -1/+16I think that's a pretty much agreed on point, we don't go sticking kids into any opposite sex household currently without screening parents either.
All parents, regardless of sexual orientation, should be screened for the ability to rear children and those elements. -
