1. The place for politics is NOT in a church and vice-versa that's what. n/t

[dflprincess]

12. And may I add:

United States Constitution Article VI, section 3

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

20. Woop! There it is! Exactly. n/t

2. barack got stallone pwned!

[muntrv]

3. Civil forum my ass! That was a McBush circle jerk!

[Alameda]

4. Yes, I really wondered about that when they stood up

was McCain wearing elevator shoes?

[Captain Hilts]

6. GWB used lifts too because we always vote for the visibly taller candidate.

That's right boys and girls, height matters in presidential elections.

[Coexist]

7. or had a special riser in place

no way they look that close in height that close together.

[Alameda]

11. Yes, I wondered about the riser too...maybe both...ewwew

how sleazy!

[JaneQPublic]

8. No, Cindy's stilettoes (nt)

[Whisp]

5. wtf? lol! maybe McCain is in metric, or vice versa?

I forgot to take note of the two of them when they shook hands at the start.

McPOW must have elevator shoes that go to the 5th floor at least.

9. It's already been covered that McCain has, in fact, been using lifts in his shoes. n/t

[Cronus Protagonist]

21. Obama should wear lifts in his for the debates too!!

Them McCain would have to wear his wife's pumps on stage, not just in the bedroom.

[Ian David]

23. Yes, but the media would cover Obama wearing lifts much more. n/t

[skids]

10. You mean in addition to McCain gazing off in a totally different direction? n/t

[Erin Elizabeth]

13. That's definitely not a 6" difference there.

Someone raided Tom Cruise's shoe closet!!!!

[cyndensco]

14. When he came out, I told my husband

mccain is either wearing lifts or standing on a box.

[Coexist]

22. "standing on a box"

lol! or they gave him a phone book!

[Quixote1818]

15. 6.5 inches smaller would put the top of McCain's head at the level of Obama's mouth

He is 5 inches taller than he should be for some reason.

16. Out of it old fella vs. conscious man with sense of style n/t

[Forkboy]

17. Nothing to me. This thread is kind of funny.

Obama is slightly bent forward and to his right, with his head looking down at a sharper angle than McCain is. McCain is straight-backed and standing tall. If Obama looks up and straightens his posture there's easily the 6 inches difference.

[Cronus Protagonist]

18. McCain's doing the old Bush trick - arms akimbo posture to look like he has huge lats

It just makes me imagine him in pajamas at a nursing home, though.

[Forkboy]

19. Maybe he's a fan of metalcore.

They all try to look tough too. :)
