Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee expressed dismay Thursday over the Rev. John Hagee’s endorsement of frontrunner John McCain, accusing the evangelical leader of putting politics ahead of principle.
“He just thought that the political rationale was he wanted to get on Sen. McCain’s team, and he thought he was gonna win the nomination,” Huckabee said after a Texarkana rally on Thursday, according to MSNBC. “I don’t think that’s a foregone conclusion, and even if I did, I would stand on principle more than I would politics.”
Huckabee said Hagee told him he endorsed McCain because he assumed he’d win the nomination.
“I felt that it was totally out of character for what I knew he believed,” Huckabee said, “or at least I thought he did.”
The former Arkansas governor said he was surprised by Hagee’s endorsement because he claims McCain lacks the commitment to the abortion issue. McCain has a 100 percent anti-abortion voting record, but he supports stem-cell research, which some pro-lifers equate with abortion because the embryo is destroyed during the extraction process.
Huckabee said he spoke with Hagee and expressed his “disappointment and surprise” and asked him to delay publicly supporting McCain. But the televangelist announced his endorsement of McCain at a news conference Wednesday.
Hagee, the pastor of the 17,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, is considered helpful to McCain’s image among evangelicals – who have overwhelmingly rallied behind Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist pastor.
Thus far, evangelicals and Christian conservatives have been reluctant to back McCain, citing many instances where he strayed from the “right” agenda. Prominent Christian conservative leaders, such as Tony Perkins of Family Research Council, have criticized McCain as undependable on key conservative issues.
But Hagee defended McCain, citing his anti-abortion voting record and his support of Israel. The Texas megachurch pastor is arguably the nation’s staunchest pro-Israel Christian leader, having helped found Christians United for Israel, a lobbying group aimed at pressing Congress to support Israel.
Hagee’s endorsement could end up hurting Huckabee in the Texas primary on Mar. 4, which is critical for him to win to stay in the race.

I think Hagee is drilling a dry well by his endorsement. To me he's sort of voting against the
body of Christ. Anyway he may have done Huckabee a favor, as God may have already weighed America in the balance and found it wanting.
cute wittle ep person,
It's a good thing that I am not concerned about your position then, huh?
I've been called a lot in this life, but never a "mouth-piece". *shrugs* First time for everything!
I did not realize you are the Christian Post's Editor? Shall I run any further postings I may do by you first? Naaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Get over yourself Babe.
*Schmoochie Woochies*
schmippie - Funny thing is, you and I agree on all principal points, but methinks you overplay your hand just a bit.
I'm a believer. I think atheists are wrong. But your threats of damnation seem a bit paranoid fanatic rather than concerned believer.
And while I won't be voting for Barack, your subjective, non-specific problems with him (saleman smile & LIES) seem to mask a more specific reason for not liking him.
I am with you on the whole progay unions, pro-abortion, etc. but you aren't a very effective mouthpiece for my position.
Hey Agent Orange,
Why are you upset that someone stated Barack's middle name? It was indeed stated correctly.
I happen to NOT be for B. Hussein Obama because of MANY more reasons than his birth name. (Such as his pro gay- unions, pro-abortion and now siting the bible to approve of gay rights?) Are you kidding me? Can people truy NOT see through this guy's saleman smile & LIES? Barack, don't pick points out of the bible to suit your needs . You are either FOR or against GOD. Fence sitting does NO GOOD for you, little man.
Agent Orage, just because YOU don't believe in God does not mean you won't stand before HIM when you die. And you, my little atheist friend, will not seem to have such a happy ending.
Makes me shiver to think what you will go through. I hope some day your eyes will open before it is too late.
Signing off now,
Someone NOT made out of molecular, evolving pond scum but in FACT made from the Heavenly Father, HIMSELF. Oh, silly me,... NO ONE is made out of pond scum. I will never understand those silly lil' atheists.
Cheisa - Let me clarify my point. I never said there aren't other fields that are valuable. I merely picked a few obvious examples of valuable skills. No one can dispute that being a thoracic surgeon is a valuable skill. But there are many other skills that are valuable. However, I would completely dispute your claim that my "view of what's valuable needs some serious rethinking." I was speaking in context to Obama's claim that no one who works should be poor. If we can assume that salary and poverty are correlated in some way (a fairly safe assumption), then Obama is saying that any working person deserves a good salary. However in the worls I live in, the market determines what salaries are paid. If, as you claim, many hard-working people are underpaid, I would absolutely claim that the marketplace does not value their skills. It's very simple. Here's an example. Almost every Friday night I get a take-out pizza for my families dinner. If you go to a pizza joint on a Friday you see people working very hard. But they aren't generally paid well to make pizzas. Why is that? Because it is easy to make a pizza. And despite the fat that Obama doesn't like that reality, the marketplace will continue to not value those skills highly.
You mentioned many examples of other hard-working professions. Funny thing is, many of these are well paid, valuable skills. Bot as valuable as a thoracic surgeon but many crane operators make six-figure slalries and I do not. Becuase, as you said, I can't operate a crane and few people can. I didn't claim that only highly educated fields are valuable. But that is often true. All I calimed is that if you are poorly compemsated, then obviously your skills aren't valued. And no amount of Obama farting lollipops and rainbows will change that reality.
ep1433
You couldn't be more wrong about the way you value skills. You don't need to be a doctor or a college professor to be paid for your skills or have them considered valuable. That's a pretty elitist view. Can you wire a house or keep a power plant running? Do you know how to rig and secure a 10 ton container for unlaoding at the shipyard. Can you safely operate a 250 ton overhead crane ? How about teachers, sociial workers, truck drivers, machanics and welders and all the other people who, actually, make our world function? There are valuable, yet underpaid people outside of the comfortable little bubble of acedemia who deserve the American dream as much as doctors or professors do. They work just as hard, put in as many hours and, often are just as dedicated to their professions. Your view of what's valuable needs some serious rethinking.
citsonga - I'll grant you that Obama is intelligent and articulate. It isn't his abilities that worry me. It is his positions I have a serious problem with, as should any free-market conservative. He says "no one who works should be poor". Huh? really? See, in the world I live in, no one who works at a vlued skill IS poor. I've never met a poor doctor. I've never met a poor college professor. gain a valuable skill and you'll never bo poor. If you are poor, you're skills aren't valuable. It's that simple. But for Obama to try and subvert reality shows us his true colors. He's a socialist.
Huickabee still lacks the delgates of Romney. Mitt could rejoin after a feww weeks off and be ahead of Huck. That's pathetic. Huck jumped the shark long ago. Conservative need to get behing McCain or live through four years of Obama's bizarro world policies, where reality is suspended in favor of lollipops and rainbows.
"Barak Hussein Obama "
Had to throw in the middle name huh X, it's all you biggots have against him. Go back to Fox News and lap up some more kool aid.
Well Mr. Citsonga,
Mike Huckabee is an intelligent, articulate leader that has come about on the world scene but I don't consider him an antichrist figure. My question to you is how many more babies will we allow to be butchered at the pagan altar of convenience in America, because the average self-absorbed citizen votes for candidates who make vacuous speeches full of meaningless rhetoric preparing the unsuspecting public for sociallism and becoming governmental chattel. H.G. Wells book "1984" is advised reading.
http://atheistsareimaginary.blogspot.com
I can't believe Huckabee is disappointed that he didn't get the backing of this ill informed bozo. Hagee regularly denigrates other Christians, namely Catholics, so I wouldn't be upset losing out on the endorsement of an intolerant, ignorant egomaniac.
Hagee's endorsement might swing a few voters, but its not worth sullying your reputation by associating with like Hagee. Until Hagee cansee his way into the light and recognize that ALL people who worship Christ are brothers, its best to avoid contamination and steer clear of him.
My heart goes out to Mike Hucabee whom is my favorite for president
Professor X I can see why you would consider writing Hucabee in if he isnt McCains running mate. I admire Hagee and understand that he is enndorsing The pick with the most chance of winning the election (the lesser of the 2 evils). Its getting down to the wire . the time for christian conservitives to unify and rally behind one canidate is now. Pie in the sky dreaming of what could have been and what should have been is over. In just a little while we will be looking deciding , to vote for McCain or Obama or fill in that that blank line -that more than likely ='s an Obama vote. God help us all.
profX "we will be living in the age of antichrist right smack through the tribulation to the horror of many "
Yeah, they were saying the same thing about JFK. Whenever an intelligent, articulate leader comes around the world, Christians bring up the mythical antichrist.
Truly, truly I say unto you, if Mike Huckabee's voice is not heard somewhere in the white house, Barak Hussein Obama will be the next president of the United States. (period) And thus we will be living in the age of antichrist right smack through the tribulation to the horror of many and especially to the horror of John Hagee.
Truly truly I say unto you, if Mike Huckabee's voice is not heard somewhere in the white house, Barak Hussein Obama will be the next president of the United States. (period) And thus we will be living in the age of antichrist right smack through the tribulation to the horror of many.
You know what? I am so displeased with the republican party right now about how they have not paid closer attention to Mike Huckabee's Campaign and strategic plan to help this country that I by conviction must vote for Mike Huckabee as my write-in candidate if he is at the very least not selected as McCains running mate. Mow our nation is headed either to more war or socialism all because we have allowed the arrogant media and political masons to cherry pick the variour nominees of the two largest political parties. Meanwhile, various interest groups who once detested McCain are now jocking for position to be his "lap dog." I have always liked John McCain and never had anything bad to say about him. But I like Mike Huckabee a bit better. Texas and Ohio just vote for Mike Huckabee just this one time.
s_vawter, Thanks for your feedback. Thinking and intelligent people can disagree on much of this stuff, its all very complicated as you rightfully point out. I guess really what I am trying to convey, is that its not simple good guys vs bad guys in the ME as most Americnas I think want to beieive. Its all gray and that the US in the ME represents its interests, not necessarily the interests of the people of the ME. Thats what countries do I suppose. You mention theocratic imperialist, I dont disagree with that. What I would say though is they have gained momentum for the reasons I mentioned. The way to fight them is not the way the US is doing it now. You can't fight guerrilla war with large standing armies as we are attempting to do in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have to be smarter than that. We should have learned that lesson from Vietnam. It will (is) only wearing us down and bankrupting our country. bin Laden maybe spent a million dollars pulling off 9-11. What has the US spent on the so-called "war on terror"? Its in the trillons of dollars and counting, its not sustainable, we have to get smarter about it. Well I am worn out, and stating to ramble a bit, perhaps we can continue this dialog later. Have a good night.
Oh, last thing- We've been living in the end times since 33 Anno Domini. I just saw an ad starring Hagee, where he states Jesus wasn't sent to be the Messiah. Now, unless this ad is a forgery...
OK Slacker, fine I understand your point. But lets not try to fool the American people and the rest of the world into believing we invaded Iraq to "liberate" its people. Lets tell it like it is, and what Iraqis and most other people in the ME already understand- Its all about OIL, not liberation. We should also tell the American people that there is a cost associated with our meddling in the ME to protect those oil interests-- terrorism from the ME in the form of 9-11. We should also convince the American people that the US government needs to tack on at least an additional $ 2 to 3 gallon tax on gasoline to fund the war in Iraq and US military presence in the ME to protect other oil suppliers such as Saudi Arabia instead of borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars per year to fund the US military in the ME. All we are doing now is passing those costs onto the next generation and turning the US into an even larger debtor nation which is beginning to undermine the US economy for the long term. Its been over thirty years since the Arab oil Embargo, we have had that amount of time to get our energy house in order. We have done none of that. Americans want to continue driving their fuel hog SUV's,there is little real interest in energy conservation. Americans want fairy-tails about ethanol and drilling in ANWAR to solve our energy problems. Ethanol is not the answer and the US does not have enough oil to meet its demands even if we were to drill in every location in the US.. What we need is conservation. Tack on 2 to 3 dollars more on gasoline to pay the real cost , and we will begin to see that conservation.So where the US is at now is this - the US is literally killing for oil. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's have died and been injured along with the whole sale destruction of their country since the US "liberation" of Iraq. However, Americans really don't want to be reminded of all, so I am really wasting my time, oh well. At least I make an attempt.
Can't say I can argue with that perspective, but I can point out one minor thing you may have overlooked- the huge oil-for-protection theory breaks down when applied to a national level, and is slightly off-kilter against the backdrop of real economic machination. Specifically, that oil is what lines the pockets of those who buy the elections. The reality of the situation defies simplistic "tit-for-tat" classification, or over-pressure explosive release due to "meddling." I would have to agree with the involvement having a role, but not with the assertion that this involvment (polite way of putting it, don't you think) isn't the prime cause, merely a convenient excuse. Thanks, by the way, that was one huckabee speech I'd not seen. As far as imperialism goes, though, one must remmeber that we're fighting against would-be theocratic imperialists. Or,at least that's what they say of themselves. As for the freedom of women in Iran, yeah, being stoned to death for kissing a man and thus dishonoring your family, being executed for being raped, yeah that's freedom. Yes, that happens in Iran too. Comparing SA and Iran in light of womens rights is like comparing the Holocaust and The Inquisition in twerms of which was nicer to the Jewish folk.
Let me ask you this, do you want to drive around in your BMW and live in your nice house in the burbs??? What do you think makes this country tick, the economy of the US is support whole heartedly by foreign oil mainly ME oil, we can't keep this economy going without it. We have to make buddies with the Saudis if we want to get Oil at a reasonable rate, if not this countries economy along with yours and my jobs will be down the tubes as well, so think about that before you go blasting this president or any president for that matter because i guarantee that the next president will have to play the same ball that the last 10 presidents have had to do, so that this country can have its oil....
s_vawter: "Taking the approach that the attacks on 9/11 are because the U.S. and europe have been messing with the middle east is rather narrow, don't you think?"
Well extremism is many times a product of oppression. ME dictators have oppressed millions for decades, in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia to name a few. Extremism is the product of oppression, thats what we are now seeing. If you take the time to study the history of the ME after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent carving up of the ME by the Europeans and the US to suite their strategic interests (mainly oil) you would understand my thesis. The west has supported those dictators for decades. For example, examine the history of the overthrow of the Iranian prime minister in 1953 by the US and Britain to put the Shah in place - to protect US and British oil interests. If not for that intervention in 1953, Iran might very well be a democratic republic today. bin Laden had been warning the US to remove it military bases from Saudi Arabia for years. The US did not, so we witnessed 9-11. The US would not tolerate the presence of foreign military bases on its soil, why should the peoples of the ME tolerate foreign militaries in their countries. The reason the US military had bases in Saudi Arabia was to protect US oil interests as it has been doing for decades. The US military was in SA, to protect the corrupt ruling royal Saudi families as well. Saudi Arabia is a theocratic autocracy controlled by the corrupt royal families. Woman in Iran have more freedom than SA. In SA woman cannot even drive cars. just as the dictator Shah of Iran was a US ally before he was overthrown in a popular revolution, the Saudi Royal family is an ally of the US, actually business partners. The US sells SA weapons and protects the royal families position of power with the US war machine, they sell the US oil.. Again, a very similar arraignment between the Shah and the US before the Shah was overthrown. Lets hope the US is not on the wrong side of history again if and when the SA royal family is deposed. The US invasion of Iraq has only worsened the situation in the ME. The US will have to continue to spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year for years to keep hostilities tamped down in Iraq. Iraq was part of the ME carve-up I mentioned earlier, people that did not normally associate were forced together, thats why we see civil war in Iraq today. There was no Iraq proper before the fall of the Ottomans, the borders of Iraq are based on almost arbitrary lines drawn on a map by mainly the British, the borders have little historical context.
s_vawter "When did Huckabee say he'd amend the constittution to make this a more christian nation? Which speech, specifically?"
see the link below, you cant make this stuff up, its real i heard it myself on "Meet the Press"
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Huckabee_Amend_Constitution_to_meet_Gods_0115.html
Taking the approach that the attacks on 9/11 are because the U.S. and europe have been messing with the middle east is rather narrow, don't you think? I mean, it wouldn't have anything to do with them teaching their children we steal their money and keep them poor, does it? Or that we and the jews are descendants of pigs, huh? All this trash being fed their children, paid for by sultans in billion dollar palaces. But, no, sadly, it's the euro-american elitist imperialism that's to blame.
When did Huckabee say he'd amend the constittution to make this a more christian nation? Which speech, specifically?
juliek "I believe he has a real handle on the end-times,"
Lets see, how many centuries have the end-times been just around the corner?
Juliek "God will come to Israel's defense again and destroy Israel's enemy"
where was God when the Jews were being exterminated in death camps by the millions in Christian Europe.
I have to comment on those that bring Jesus into this issue of war.
You have no idea what you are talking about as for being against this war and Christians shouldn't be for it for moral reasons.
If you read the Bible, God is not against war to protect your Country against the enemy, he encouraged Israel to fight. Not only that but if you read the history of the war Israel had to become a Nation, It was by the help of God, because by all reasoning Israel was not equipted to beat Six Countries fully Military equipted and Israel did not have a Military or the weapons to win in the natural sense. Also, if those that do not read the Bible, please do now and read in Ezekiel 38:23, God will come to Israel's defense again and destroy Israel's enemy, Read Relavtions19:11-21 Jesus, Himself will come to battle on the earth.
So, please do not insert anything about God or Jesus that you have no idea of what you are talking about.
I was surprised that John Hagee backed John McCain over Mike Huckabbe.
I always watch John Hagee and buy his DVD's, I believe he has a real handle on the end-times,
but, why would he back McCain over Huckabee just does not make sense, because Huckabee has always been and will always be PRO-LIFE and firmly believes in supporting ISRAEL
Mike Huckabee understands what we are up against with the Terrorist and will do everything to protect the United States. I don't like to question someones prayer with God, but this makes me wonder if John Hagge really asked God about this decision.
nmeacham "I think that Governor Huckabee is the man for the job."
Ah, no he is not, he has stated he would amend the constitution to make it a more christian nation. A responsible candidate for president wouldn't say crazy stuff like that. The US needs less religion in government, not more. Obama will make a good president. As a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago, he understands what "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" from the first amendment to the US constitution actually means, Huckabee apparently is not well versed in the US Constitution.
wrhalver "now words are being replaced by actions."
Those actions, had you taken the time to read my post, show the disaterous results of those actions.
You and most Americans dont see the connection of US and European Imperialism in the Middle East dating back to the beginining of the 20th C for the 9-11 attacks in the US. They attacked us (9-11) because we have been messing with them for decades. You should take off your rose colored glasses view of the US foreign policy and study US and European imperialism in the ME -primarily for OIL.. Start your studies with the overthrow of the Iranian prime minister in 1953 by the US and Britian and replaced by the autocratic Shah. If not for US and European meddling in Iran, Iran would be a democratic republic today.
Sorry,
The statement should have read....now words are being replaced by actions.
I hope you get the point.
citsonga:
Here's the truth....
Americans can no longer look at media images of the despair in other countries and continue to believe that it can only and will only happen somewhere else.
Anti-American sentiment is nothing new, but now actions are being replaced by words.
If we tell this world "don't mess with Texas", expect that we will be challenged to prove that.
I think that Huckabee DOES have the most experience. He is the only candidate that has held an executive role - he was governor of Arkansas for 10 1/2 years and lieutenant governor before that. He was able to improve roads and education drastically, all the while keeping the taxes the same at the beginning of his tenure as at the end. He took the state from a deficit to a surplus as well, all with a Democrat controlled state congress. I think that Governor Huckabee is the man for the job. Please go to www.mikehuckabee.com to see his stands on the issues.
wrhalver "America is in a time where we need to show the rest of the world what it takes to be free, and remain free. Many lives were lost to give us that priviledge, and they were not wasted then or now."
I dont think the Iraqi's can stand too much more freedom American style.....the US has brought Iraq the opposite of freedom, the US has brought the Iraqi's a living hell and destroyed their country- destroyed hospitals, schools, power plants, sewage plants, museums, offices, etc. All because of arrogance and in competence of bush and his band of fools.
All mccain will bring to the table is more war mongering and bullying, something the rest of the world is weary of. Thats why the US will not get meaningful help in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US is stuck alone on the wars because of bullying, ignorance, arrogance and incompetence.
Gee what would Jesus have done, dropped bombs on Iraq like bush did, invade the country without having a post invasion plan to provide security for its people? Interesting observation, christian folks I know where mostly in favor of the Iraq war. My atheistic and agnostic friends and me, were against the war- on moral grounds. Imagine that.
kpercy07 "Now is not the time for on-the-job training."
No prior job is training for the presidency, its all learned on the job. bush brought in all kinds of experience- cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, perle, Negroponte, powell, bolton, feith, rice, roves to name a few experienced people. Look where that experience got the US- a disaster in Iraq resulting in the deaths and injury of perhaps a million people, the destruction of Iraq,over a trillion of dollars of additional US debt and counting from the Iraq debacle which has the US in Iraq for a long, long time that costs the average American family thousands of dollars per year. The Iraq debacle has created huge problems in Afghanistan. Had resources not been diverted to Iraq (which was not a threat to the US), Afghanistan might be a success story today instead of the disaster its becoming. bush may go down as the first US president to lose two wars. No other countries around the world are going to contribute much to those war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan because of US arrogance, incompetence and bullying. The Iraq debacle is the worst foreign policy mistake in US history.......so much for all that experience.
Who we really need as president is someone like Sen. Obama that is intelligent, has good management and communication skills that can put a good team together, none of which bush is or has done. So far Obama has out witted all the other candidates with his superior campaign organization- he has not run out of money, he has had a good and consistent campaign strategy, he has not had to change course, he has not had to reshuffle his campaign staff- both clinton and mccain have had problems with all of those things. This tells me that Obama would make the better president.
Obama has more experience than Lincoln had and he turned out to be one of the greatest presidents of all time. Look at all the experience Nixon had, we know how that turned out.
Whats important is the person, not necessarily the experience. Obama has many, many qualities that make great leaders. He will be an effective presence o the world stage. He might even be able to get other countries to help us out in Iraq and Afghanistan after the failed bush admin. is long gone to the ash heap of history.
Citsonga:
I completely agree with kpercy07
America is in a time where we need to show the rest of the world what it takes to be free, and remain free. Many lives were lost to give us that priviledge, and they were not wasted then or now.
McCain has the strongest character to help preserve that priviledge for us, and will help other countries share in it as well. We cannot be so selfish and self-centered to think we're the only ones who deserve to be free.
Citsonga: Running on an anti-Washington theme preaches well, but it's all BS. The reality is that America needs someone who knows *exactly* how Washington works. Like him or not, McCain is the only candidate who has DEMONSTRATED the ability to reach across the aisle and get stuff done. Obama has not finished one complete term in the Senate. Now is not the time for on-the-job training.
1man " I hope not"
here is why Obama will become president. Americans are tired of same ol same ol. clinton and mccain represent same stuff different day. Americans are weary of the Iraq debacle, so they wont vote for mccain that talks of 100 years in the Iraq debacle. Americans are tired of republicans for a while, bush has really made a mess of things, mccain will carry that baggage, clinton is unlikely to get nomination, so its Obama.
I hope not
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT, He is the man for the job, he WILL be the next president.
What are everyone's thought's on McCain/Huckabee running together?
My wife and I and our friends are not going to put politics over principle, we are voting for Mike Huckabee, a man with Christian principles and values. Visit www.mikehucabee.com are see what is going on.
I am surprised Hagee is supporting McCain instead of Huckabee. I am going to vote for Huckabee because of the Christian values he stands for. I have never personally heard McCain ackowledge God, maybe he has but I have watched a lot of his speeches on TV and have never heard him mention his belief in God.
I TOO agree with Professor X
When entertainment is the KEY to get people into church it SURE shows who and what you are AND WHAT you believe! As Jesus said not everyone who says Lord, Lord WILL enter into the kingdom! Amen?!?!
SAD SAD!!!!
Pastor Hagee just made himself look bad and certainly won't have an influence over any Texan because they can visit www.mikehuckaee.com and think for themselves. Mike Huckabee is the political candidate of a lifetime. Sorry to see that some people will go with the flow and not stand on the principles they believe in. I'm glad my man, Mike Huckabee is not one of them. He will get my vote in November if I have to write him in. I will not vote the lesser of two evils, I will vote with pride...
I agree with Professor X
Huckabee is the only candidate that reflects views and values that are consistent with the Bible on key issues. I pray he stays the course. Know one knows God's plans for Huckabee and all Belivers should continue to pray for him.
The fear within the Evangelicals is that many GOP registered members may actually vote the candidate of Democrats. Mac doesn't really represent the worldview of the Evangelicals. Thats all I can say.
I don't see what all of the bother is about.Because as long as Mr.Hagee continues to preach that the Jews can achieve salvation without accepting Jesus as their savior I wouldn't want his endorsement on anything that I was associated with at all.
It doesn't matter...I am still going to vote for Mike Huckabee even if I have to write his name at the ballot box. I am not compromising.
