I'm still stuck w/ McCain, too. This recent political tactic is disgusting, but would having Hillary or Obama in the Whitehouse be better?

I'd like to know what deal McCain made w/ Hagee. Maybe it was just that Hagee knows that Huckabee isn't going to get the nomination, so he's going for the surer thing.

What a disgusting mess.

We need a decent (in the ability/political views sense) Catholic candidate to run next time around.

Would any of the candidates accept a nomination from an anti-semitic Christians preacher?! Yet this is accepted, and those who call him on it are treated as if they're being too picky?!

Why is pointing out anti-Catholicism seen as a bad thing? We're actually accused of exaggerating, as if it doesn't exist. And yet here it is in one of the most in-your-face examples in recent years. A presidential front-runner feels that it's perfectly OK to accept a nomination from an anti-Catholic bigot.

Do I *really* have to vote for McCain?

I might have to do a write-in. I joked about writing in Condie's name, but I just might do it.

Do they even have write-ins in primaries?

I actually saw that piece where the 'preacher' denounced Catholicism. It was truly disgusting and McCain should denounce him immediately for saying it. It seems odd that both McCain and Huckabee would seek this man's endorsement. If I were running for ofc, I'd stay as far away from him as I could.

I spt McCain for other reasons. He should make a sound Cmdr-in-Cf and has a much better grasp of For'n Policy than Obama and Hil'ry in this dangerous world that we live in. Those 2 Dems are poor candidates in my view.

Still, it seems strange that we cant find better candidates for the Pres'cy out of 300mil people. I'm with you on Condi tho. While I dont think a write-in vote is the answer, I wish she would've run. I dont think anyone could've touched her. She's very articulate on the issues and would pro'bly be a better candidate than any of the above.

Take care, God Bless,

Phil from AZ

Who'd a thunk it. lol

I like McCain better than the rest, but his insistence on keeping Hagee's endrosement makes me question his character.

Most complain that the election process is too long. I strongly disagree. With a long campaign season, we get to see who these people really are. It's hard to be phoney for months on end. They eventually show something of their true selves. McCain looks worse than the rest right now, as far as character goes, and I started out having more respect for him than for the others. McCain is making a very big mistake.
