1,000 reasons John McCain shouldn't be President

Number 27: he cares about Jews more than he cares about Catholics! After the radical cleric John Hagee endorsed The Aged One a sermon of his came to light in which he referred to the Roman Catholic Church as the "Great Whore of Babylon". This stirred up some interest and the Reverend Hagee had to apologise to Catholics for saying that in front of a video camera. The Aged One just sort of laughed it off but said he still was glad he had pursued the endorsement from the radical cleric. Now that an audio tape of another sermon from the radical cleric has come to light in which he posits that Adolph Hitler was an instrument of God used to drive the Jews back to the Holy Land (in preparation for Armageddon no doubt) The Aged One has found himself compelled to "repudiate" the Reverend's support.



As far as I am concerned this is far too little, too late. Unlike Senator Obama's relationship with the Reverend Wright, which was of long standing and therefore complicated and difficult to unstitch, Senator McCain and his staff actively pursued the support of the radical cleric Hagee. This demonstrates that either he did not care about these pronouncements, did not believe that would become public or he and his team are incapable of executing even a cursory process of vetting potential high profile supporters. Any of these three explanations must give a voter pause as to whether The Aged One is qualified to be President of the United States.
