Why, Mike Huckabee was proud to speak at Cornerstone (Hagee's Church).

I think McCain should too.

(I can't decide if I'm kidding or not)

Catholic vote is CRITICAL if there is any hope of flippin Pennsylvania.

If Iowa, New Mexico and Ohio are lost, PA has to be won.

Hagee is a hateful bigot. He should be rejected like the plague he is.

“McCain seeks distance from pastor (John Hagee)”

Dear Pastor Hagee,

Do not take it personally. You see, you are a conservative. The sort of person that makes Juanito uncomfortable. He might feel bad someday if he told YOU to F off, being a Pastor. This is language and treatment reserved usually for “fellow” Republican Senators.

You understand I am sure,

Yours in Christ,

Grunthor.

What - RINO McAmnesty is dissing conservatives? Who'd a thunk it!

Maybe his good buddies in the rat party will like him more now.

Obviously endorsements don't mean the two people agree on everything. We aren't stupid. Pointing it out is just one more way to bite the hand that feeds him. He is good at it.

Support McCain and you too can be insulted.

McCain knows he doesn’t need Conservatives to win.

No big deal.

"Catholic vote is CRITICAL if there is any hope of flippin Pennsylvania."

So Hagee's endorsement would turn catholics off and make them vote for a pro-abortion candidate in the general election? I don't think so.

It's just another way for RINO McAmnesty to flip off the right. He does that every chance he gets.

Hillary and Obama seem to be the only two people John McCain isn’t distancing himself from.

So is Bill Donahue. McCain's best strategy is to play the thing lowkey

You go Hagee, won’t be long before McCain apologizes for you too. You see, he does not want your support. He wants the support of those that are like him, and you ain’t.

Get it?

Catholics are smart enough to know other people in their political party may strongly disagree with their doctrine. Vice versa for non-catholics. You don't have to be a Catholic or whatever Hagee is to be a Republican. We are supposed to be together on politics, not theology. The Catholics I know are smart enough to know that all by themselves.

Obama reminds me of the leader of this goofy meeting I went to years ago where everyone stood up and chanted "Think enthusiastic and you'll be enthusiastic." Or that radio scam preacher who would shout, "You can't loose with the stuff I use." I think his name was Reverend Ike. McCain is more like a rabid dog, but only to fellow republicans. He bites whoever comes near and foams at the mouth. Show him a Democrat and he licks his hand and brings him his slippers. Maybe those years in prison camp gave McCain that mental disorder that captives get where they over identify with their captors. Now maybe McCain still cannot function as a strong representative for one side against another. That should be a disaster if he is ever in charge of foreign affairs.

I haven't watched Hagee for a while but from what I recall he could come on a bit strong at times. But he wasn't bigoted or hateful.

Why should he renounce his endorsement? Obama didn’t renounce the endorsement of Farakan. He just renounced some of the stuff he said.
