[Apologetics] McCain Refuses to Renounce Support From Hagee

[Bret Bellamy]

I don't know of anything about Ron Paul that would cause problems for Catholics. 

I feel like petitioning the FEC or whoever and have two lines added under the ballot for President:  1) None of the above;  2) Do over.

This is the sorriest set of choices I can remember in my 52 years on this earth, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.  This cycle has parts of '68, '72, and '76 wrapped together.  The only fun part is watching the Obama vs. Hillary contest.  If I could have only one thing happen in '08, that would be the defeat once and for all of the Clinton crime machine by anyone.  And if Obama is the only one that can do it, I will at least send a kind word his way.  A kind word, but nothing else.
