Candidates Heart Evangelists
>> Friday, May 23, 2008
I wonder if people really believe these crazy politicians.
Sure, John McCain has repudiated endorsements from preachers John Hagee and Rod Parsley. Obama has done the same with his long-time pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. All three "evangelists" have made unfortunate public statements, which have required the candidates to reject their endorsements.
And thats just it: Obama and McCain have no other choice BUT to reject their endorsements. If they agreed with them, they'd be committing election suicide.
But do people really believe that these candidates are rejecting the endorsements because of personal beliefs? Or are American voters intelligent enough to realize it is merely a publicity stunt?
I mean, come on - do you really think Obama is going to deny his relationship with racist Rev. Wright, his pastor of nearly 20 years, in private? Heck no! He will in the public eye, caught up in the media frenzy. But once he is voted in as commander-in-chief, don't think that relationship will be tossed to the wayside.
McCain, on the other hand, is not directly related to Hagee or Parsley. He has, allegedly, never attended either of the pastors' churches. They simply publicly endorsed the candidate, and then made heinous statements that enraged critics looking to find something to talk about.
All I have to say is don't buy into all the candidates' BS until after November (and even then it's real iffy). Everything they say right now is to make you happy with them so they can have your vote.
