I support McCain, but there's a TON of stuff we disagree on, and I'm mainly voting for him against Obama.
If Hamas endorses Obama, does that make him a terrorist - or does it just mean they formed an opinion, based on who's available? Does that mean his agenda coincides with theirs, or that he is more likely to allow them to advance their own without interference? It doesn't mean anything.
I personally think Pat Robertson has always, always been nuttier than a fruitcake, but I certainly wouldn't consider an endorsement by him to indicate that his candidate is on the same page with him. |
None of those other people or groups you mentioned made it their lifes work to overthrow our government, or even planned and esecuted attacks on our country for the sole purpose of overthrowing our government trying to force our government into socialism or communism.
Why would Ayers support ANY politician in our government in it's current form if he's willing to kill people to change it? Doesn't make sense...
That would be like blowing up Abortion Clinics today, but sending $10,000 to support Planned Parenthood tomorrow.
NONE of the above people YOU mentioned are going to support, spend money on, or invite to their lviving room, ANY candidate that doesn't support some or part of their idealogy. Neither would you I bet.
It would be as ludicrous as David Duke supporting Jesse Jackson in his run for the White House.
