Saddleback Spokesman on Code-of-Silence-Gate

A. Larry Ross, a spokesman for Saddleback Church and Pastor Rick Warren, says that the campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has assured the organizers of Saturday night's "Civil Forum" that McCain did not "see or hear any of Senator Obama's appearance."

But as for the question the McCain campaign won't answer -- did anyone with McCain, given the questions via email or cell phone, share them with the senator -- Ross says, "I cannot speak to that."

Before the forum, Ross says, "both candidates agreed to the format of two consecutive interviews." Based on a coin toss, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, went first, and both candidates also "agreed to and understood that in order to maintain a level playing field, Sen. McCain wouldn't see or hear any of Sen. Obama's appearance."

-----
Ross demurred when asked if it bothers him or Pastor Warren that the McCain campaign has so far refused to say no one told the senator about the questions Obama was asked, though he did note that "the language the McCain campaign used" in its conversations with Saddleback officials was that he didn't hear or see the broadcast itself.

That McCain's people aren't talking confirms to me that they at least were briefing him on what Obama was already asked and answered.

I like it's been labeled Cone-Of-Silence-Gate! Come on MSM - do your frickin' job!

oh, for pitty's sake. Are we gonna have to listen to it for the next four years?

9. Rick Warren lied 
 And that must be driven home. This homophobic hypocrite lies with an ease of the devil himself. He's a liar, and his 'church' a house of mendacity.

13. My bible tells me that God hates unbalanced scales...
 In other words God doesn't like cheaters.

And now that I think about it... that's two marks against McCain...


they are still waiting for the official Obama version of the truth, but the whining goes on...

My Spidey Sense tells me that this goes no where.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Let's say that McCain got every question ahead of time and was allowed to hear Obama's answers, it still doesn't take away the fact that Obama looked like a bumbling fool.  Face it DU, your man is an empty suit.

So if the situation were reversed, what would DU think??? Ummm Hmmm.

And besides, how does McCain hearing the interview with Obama change the fact that Obama sucked?
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Spread my work ethic, not my wealth.

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Obama can suck, as long as McCain sucks harder. -- And Obama's "suckiness" has been written off as too verbose for the common man.

Personally, I'd be totally impressed by a man McCain's age who could remember all those questions...and get all those answers right...from a single hearing of Obama's Q&A!  I'm not even 50 yet, and I'd have trouble remembering an hour's worth of questions and answers after multiple hearings, not just one.  Yeah, McCain!!!  :cheerleader2:

They'd rather the anti-Christ inhabited the WH and was the sole cause of Armageddon as long as he had a "D" after his name.
