McCain To Clinton Backer Who Endorsed Him: "Perhaps Your Reward Will Be In Heaven"

John McCain has criticized Barack Obama supposed presumptuousness frequently. Last week, a McCain ad suggested Obama is styling himself the new Messiah. But who's really playing the God card? First McCain's campaign came out with this poster. Now he's telling Clinton voters that support him over Obama that they'll be thanked in the afterlife:

Also Thursday, McCain called Debra Bartoshevich, the Racine County resident who lost her delegate seat at the Democratic National Convention for endorsing McCain instead of Obama, a "person of great courage" for endorsing him.

"Perhaps your reward will be in heaven - not here on Earth," McCain told Bartoshevich as he addressed the Civic Centre crowd.

No word yet from God on what the prize will be.

And McCain calls Obama upity? Hmm that is so funny, looks like McCain is trying to walk in new territory.

[Veratruth]

Yes...he might think uppity ain't so bad after all. It might gain him some glory or take him to new heights.

[PoliticoJonze]

Ah yes, now we're on the Obama is the anti-Christ meme, and anybody who votes against him will be rewarded in heaven.

[Veratruth]

McCAIN IS THE ANTIHONEST PUBLICAN

[honeydiva]

translation: haha dumba$$, you're a tool.

He cannot feel too flattered, being her second choice. Doesn't he realize she would have voted for Howdy Doody to make her point?

[Grannysue]

Dear Debra, don't hold your breathe!

"Perhaps your reward will be in heaven, not here on earth". TRASLATION: The statuw quo will remain; you will continue to pay 4.30 for gas, outrageous prices for food, you will lose your house, and we will have at least 2 more wars. Though luck, sucker!
So the little naive will have to wait for heaven to get things changed, and I am sure they will change, no Repug will be there..

All this sentimentality is so useless. Very emotional. Very irrelevant. Why doesn't he just have someone come up on the stage and start crying?

[ThunderclapNewman]

He's saving that for election night, after the returns come in.

All the Repubs will be crying---and crying, and crying some more.

"Perhaps your reward will be in heaven - not here on Earth,"

Or not.

[gladys46]

Yeah, what happened to the here and now ... can't they discuss some of those issues coherently!!?

[Freesia2]

Well, you remember how thrilled the Clinton supporters were with promises of a stay in the Lincoln bedroom. That was practically slumming compared to the accommodations McCain is offering.

[Bettysdad]

So McCain believes there is no "earthly" reward for McCain supporters.

Sounds about right.

[antiparanoid]

Perhaps McCain's reward won't.

[alguien]

what was that expression that was so popular in the early 80s?

oh yeah, gag me with a spoon!

[gladys46]

LOL ...I like drop it like it's hot ... Mc might have reservations in hell!!

[greeniefromOH]

Well, it's for sure that the reward for supporting McCain is NOT going to be found on Earth.....­....

[NotMcCain]

Yes, God wants her to support McCain.

How...pres­umptuous!!­!

[FantaPants]

It's just disgraceful. His whole rhetoric has become a disgrace. But he's getting away with it.

[UpstateNY]

You're right. If the American voters are not careful, they will fall for the McCain campaign mud-slinging and will vote for another 4-years of Bush-type administration. I'm not sure we can withstand that!

McCain says that Obama has thin credentials - well McCain's campaign is the one that has no substance. He thinks it's funny to call a fellow senator; one who received vastly more votes during the primaries than he did, one who graduated at the top of his class in Harvard (when McCain graduated at the bottom of his) - he thinks it's humorous to equate that candidate with Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton. I think it is shameful and I hope Americans don't fall for it!

[rubyrubyruby]

is that all you can do? You sound so desperate.
