I can forgive a blatant pander easier than a 20-year bff relationship.
but I'm a cynic and willing to accept political realities.
So, that's how you're going to try to split a hair to explain the blatant hypocrisy where Obama has to renounce Wright's views, but McCain gets a pass on Hagee's?
Sorry, but I don't care whether it's 20 years or 20 minutes, the candidate allying with someone who espouses bigotry - and Hagee's is far worse, IMO - is the issue regardless.
In fact McCain's is the worse of the two as well because it shows his very current position to get close to Hagee, instead of something from a long time ago.
Yea, there is no difference between 20 years and 20 minutes....:roll:
So, on the one hand, you have John McCain call these people "agents of intolerance" and then he lies in bed with them. On the other hand, you have Obama criticize some of his pastor's remarks but refuses to tear up his relationship with him. Tell me, who has more principals?
Yes, John McCain is playing election year politics by doing whatever he can to gain votes, is that really so surprising to you? On the other hand, you have Obama using a radical anti American racist as his moral compass, for about 20 years.
Now I'm not making excuses for McCain, because I don't agree with what he is doing either, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for a career politician to play election year politics. And please don't start in with another "but you have to understand where black people are coming from" rant. Although it was especially funny when you said that to a black person on this forum.
