McCain: I hope that I'm a good father
Politico ^ | 2009-06-21

Sen. John McCain started Father's Day on "Fox News Sunday," but he said he'll spend the rest of the day on the phone, chatting with his seven kids.

The Arizona Republican said fathers need to give their kids "support, understanding -- and sometimes that support has to be a little tough love."

He said that he often felt pressured to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, both Navy men, and said that parents should give their children choices.

"I hope that I'm a good father," McCain said.

From one father to another, Johnny......please tell your daughter to STFU.

And follow that advice yourself.

Didn’t he raise that foul mouthed and fat drama queen of a daughter?

Looks like he failed at that job too.

No matter how good or bad a father he is, he is better at that then he is at politics.

It’s a good thing her headboard is padded...

I guess; if it’s okay to have extra-marital affairs followed by a divorce from the mother of your teenage daughter.

I don’t have any criticism of his fathering skills. I just don’t agree with his statism.

Amazing how many people loved seeing Obama win the election.

Please tell me you do not have any children especially daughters.

Obama appreciated your help last November.

Sometimes it’s hard to separate the person from the politics. However, that’s the most logical and effective way to argue against someone’s ideology. I admit to not being perfect in this regard myself.

What should he have done the fake piece crap that Obama had all over the place this morning?

Amazing how many so called conservatives took a big dump on Reagan’s memory last November. Anyone who stayed home, voted third party or especially For obama has never been a conservative because no conservatives would ever take a dump on Reagan’s grave who always said fight in the primaries and unite in the general election.

But you don’t love your country enough to see it was more important that anyone but Obama be PResident.

I would have accepted no difference between him and Hillary but not Obama.

Additionally, I disagree with the logic : "you don't like McCain's statism; therefore, you must have supported Obama."

The Repubs picked a candidate that was unacceptable. If they don't learn from it, they'll continue to put forth unacceptable candidates and will continue to lose.
