Why would any black american vote for McCain when he voted against the MLK Holiday?

Black Americans will vote for Obama because he's black apparently, that appears to be what they are doing in the primaries
McCain fought in Vietnam, was being held captive at the time of the assassination, anyone who boos him should remember that and I'm sure Obama would agree
As far as the vote:
He didn't want another federal holiday to save taxpayers money, and regrets the vote
 
Ummm what self-rightous black would not be voting for NObama anyway? McCain could shout the "N" word from the highest mountain and he will still get the same amount of black vote, 0%. Blacks are not voting for the best candidate they are voting for the blackest candidate.
 
I know why he mentioned it,make it news now so it won't be news later. Good ploy. This is just another reason why as registered Republican I'm pissed. You can make an argument we have too many federal holidays, and how many people truly observe MLK day for what its for instead of a free day of from work. That being said, he votes that day down but wants amnesty for illegals? Yet with all this withstanding, his is still better than Barack or HIllary


Why couldn't we have a Fred Thompson- Mitt Romney ticket and be down with all this.
 
He apologized. Forgiveness is a virtue.
Look at his 4 kids.

Seems like so many here are above forgiveness and saying I'm sorry.
We all have faults and have made mistakes... the problem is continuing in it and not seeing it.
I admire McCain for acknowledging a mistake... how much better off would we be if more leaders ( and all people) did this.
Shows integrity, maturity
 
/Sen. John McCain stated that his vote (25 years ago) was wrong.

If you know Sen. John McCain, you will understand he isn't saying anything for a vote. He is saying it because in his heart he believes he was wrong to vote against it 25 years ago - whether he gets the black vote, or doesn't get white votes for saying it.
 
i don't have republican money...so i wouldn't vote for him unless hillary was the nominee

i consider myself "populus"
 
White suburban republicans do not like racism so his apology will help him get their vote.
 
Lest you forget , as has your ABC NEWS source ! At least he didn`t "LIE" and say he made a "MIS-STATEMENT" like the two confused left loon liars would have done so many times already ?? With your vast left wing liberal spoon fed knowledge , why don`t you look up the other 89 Congressmen that voted against the MLK Jr. Holiday in 1983 , and be in awe of your ignorance of how many "dimokratz voted against it also !!!! Remember "KERRY" ? He voted "FOR" something before he voted "AGAINST" it ? Were you this outraged at a blatant LIE like that ?? I promise you McCain know`s whether for sure or not he`s been "shot at" and when he hasn`t ! McCain said he made a mistake in judgment and apologized , if that ain`t good enough for you and yours` , then shove it !!
