McCain's Pastorgate troubles are just starting.....
It was good tonight to hear KO do the segment on the three pastors of McCains, Hagee, Falwell, and Parsley. Not only does he have ONE to deal with, he has THREE....

Let's ring the steeple bells on McCain next....

1. I for one hope that the M$M gives even HALF the coverage to
these freakazoids as they did to Wright.

3. I'm surprised the Catholics haven't rejected Hagee's name-calling of them yet
in greater numbers than they have.

6. I have a number of Catholic friends that reject Hagee and McCain for that reason.
The problem here is that many of htem don't know about it. Except for places like this, Americans are remarkably ignorant.

8. and the problem will be that the Bishops will come out and request us
to vote for McCain because of the abortion issues just like they did for Bush....

It is like being caught between a hard rock and a stone.....

5. Let's not legitimize pastorgate. It was always a distration to prevent the candidates
from having to discuss real issues. It was also coded fear-mongering which doesn't have any impact or any point when they are white.

The country is in serious trouble and this should be the last thing on anyones mind. I would hate to have anyone waste a brain cell thinking about it, when there are far more important things to discuss.

7. We really don't want this
1. Any discuss of the candidates pastors will remind people of Rev. Wright. (Joe Six-Pack sees him as way off the reservation, even if some here happen to agree with him). We need Wright to just fade away.

2. The reason why Rev. Wright was an issue with Obama is that Obama is a relative unknown. He has only been on the national scene for four years and he does not have a long voting record to allow people to judge him on. Rev. Wright was supposedly a big influence on him and his conversion to Christianity, this is not the case with McCain.

3. McCain does not have the same problem with these pastors. He did not attend their churches for 20 years. Will use this to say "You have a lot more to judge me on than some pastors who have endorsed me, however my opponent can't say the same thing."


Lets stay way from this stupid crap and focus on the economy, health care, and SCOTUS appointments.

10. It's no secret
that the religious right endorses republicans. The fact is, though, none of them is McCain's pastor.
