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. |
And again, you're looking at it in the wrong perspective.
Hamas supporting a candidate of course doesn't make him a terrorist.. But WHY would they support ANY candidate?
If Osama Bin Laden came out and endorsed and sent a campaign $200,000 I'd have to question WHY!?? What does he know about this candidate that I don't??
