I love how Hutch brings up Hagee's support for Israel, he only does it because he wants to bring forth the Apocalypse.

McCain's Spiritual Guide: Destroy Islam
By David Corn
March 12, 2008
Mother JonesSenator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying it.
On February 26, McCain appeared at a campaign rally in Cincinnati with the Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, a supersize Pentecostal ins ution that features a 5,200-seat sanctuary, a television studio (where Parsley tapes a weekly show), and a 122,000-square-foot Ministry Activity Center. That day, a week before the Ohio primary, Parsley praised the Republican presidential front-runner as a "strong, true, consistent conservative." The endorsement was important for McCain, who at the time was trying to put an end to the lingering challenge from former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a favorite among Christian evangelicals. A politically influential figure in Ohio, Parsley could also play a key role in McCain's effort to win this bellwether state in the general election. McCain, with Parsley by his side at the Cincinnati rally, called the evangelical minister a "spiritual guide."
The leader of a 12,000-member congregation, Parsley has written several books outlining his fundamentalist religious outlook, including the 2005 Silent No More. In this work, Parsley decries the "spiritual desperation" of the United States, and he blasts away at the usual suspects: activist judges, civil libertarians who advocate the separation of church and state, the sexual "culture" (" sexuals are anything but happy and carefree"), the "abortion industry," and the crass and profane entertainment industry. And Parsley targets another profound threat to the United States: the religion of Islam.

Not the candidate he used to be
Politico...There are two different McCains: the John McCain of 2000 and the John McCain of 2008.
The John McCain of 2000 called the Christian right preachers, such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, the “agents of intolerance.” He was right. These people are complete charlatans — and McCain knows it. At least he did in 2000.
The John McCain of 2008 has kissed the ring of nearly every major Christian right preacher in the country, even Falwell. Falwell said the United States had the Sept. 11 attacks coming because we tolerate sexuals, feminists and liberals. The John McCain of 2000 would have found that de able. The John McCain of 2008 gave the commencement speech at Falwell’s Liberty University.
The John McCain of 2000 said this: “Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right.”
The John McCain of 2008 has pandered to those same exact folks. Can you imagine if Obama gave a speech at an event honoring Farrakhan?
And now, McCain says he is “very honored” to get the endorsement of the Rev. John Hagee, who has called the Catholic church the “Great .” The John McCain of 2000 must be hanging his head in shame.
The John McCain of 2000 thought cutting taxes when you couldn’t pay for it was a terrible idea. In 2003, he thought it was an even worse idea to do that in the middle of a war. The John McCain of 2008 says he will make these same tax cuts permanent.
Is anyone paying attention? Who snatched the body of McCain? I hope it wasn’t the same person who snatched Cheney’s body in 2000.
The Sell-Out Express chugs on. The top issue for McCain has been lobbying reform. That is, until 2008. The man who helped build the public financing apparatus in America is now rejecting public financing in the primaries. But it gets worse.
Earlier in his campaign, McCain received a private loan based on the assurance that he would take public financing in the Republican primaries. The FEC rules are very clear on this matter. If you use the promise of public financing to get private loans, you must accept public financing. That’s proving very inconvenient for McCain, who is near the cap of what he could spend in the primaries if he took public financing. So he has unilaterally decided to not follow the FEC rules. Very convenient and, as usual for the 2008 John McCain, very hypocritical.
McCain now says Obama should agree to take public financing in the general election, where McCain would be at an enormous fundraising disadvantage. Very, very convenient. McCain has become the whirling dervish of hypocrisy. I just wish there were a public servant like the John McCain of 2000 to call out a politician like the John McCain of 2008 on something this egregious...
This is a non issue for me. I'm glad McCain won the republican nomination.
