A man of principle?
Senator John McCain wants us to believe that he is a man of principle.
Show us, don’t tell us, Mr. McCain.
McCain is refusing to denounce an endorsement of his presidential bid by San Antonio Pastor John Hagee, a national televangelist. Hagee has publicly stated that Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for the sins taking place in New Orleans (eluding to gays), that God wants us to attack Iran, that all Muslims wish to kill Christians, and has openly denounced the Catholic Church as “the Great Whore of Revelations:17.” (see video below)
Mr. McCain, if you truly had principle you would denounce any endorsement by this bigoted crackpot.
Or are you only concerned with gaining the votes brought in by his wacko followers?
Is this what we really need?
Does America really need a leader that has the support and endorsement of a failed president? Do we need a continuation of failed economic policies? Failed military policies? Failed environmental policies? Failed social policies? Perhaps Senator McCain does not grasp that America is calling out for true change and true reform. And accepting the endorsement of this president, while strategically important to shore up the right wing of his own party, does not engender a sense of confidence that John McCain will be anything other than an extension of George W. Bush.
From the Associated Press:
McCain Wins Bush’s White House Embrace
By LIZ SIDOTIWASHINGTON (AP) — John McCain got a White House embrace from President Bush on Wednesday, along with the party perks that go with sewing up the Republican nomination. The endorsement has baggage, though, reminding voters of the drawn-out Iraq war and the nation’s economic woes under an unpopular GOP president.
Bush, who defeated McCain in a bitter 2000 primary campaign before winning the presidency, said the Arizona senator’s “incredible courage and strength of character and perseverance” carried him to the nomination this time.
Those characteristics, Bush said, are what the nation needs in a president: “somebody that can handle the tough decisions, somebody who won’t flinch in the face of danger.”
The words held special resonance as the president who ordered the Iraq invasion five years ago stood outside the White House alongside one of the war’s most resolute supporters. Neither man mentioned Iraq, though Bush said McCain would be “sitting in there behind that desk making decisions on war and peace.”
Even that mention was coupled with Bush’s lighter statement that “I’m going to be in Crawford with my feet up.”
“I’m very honored and humbled,” McCain said as he accepted Bush’s endorsement.
Honored and humbled, Mr. McCain? If that’s the case, color us horrified.

About
This is a site designed specifically for reporting on and analyzing the record and positions of Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for the presidency. It is not intended to be a “hit” job, but we offer no apologies for the fact that we vehemently disagree with the overwhelming majority of Mr. McCain’s positions. Further, we believe that McCain is someone that has sold out his principles for political convenience, has questionable ethics, and therefore cannot be trusted to hold the highest office in this land.
