McCain Rejects Endorsements from Two Despicable Televangelists

On Thursday Republican Presidential candidate John McCain did what I have been hoping he would do for months now; he rejected the endorsements of two very disgusting and bigoted televangelist. McCain had been trying to court the religious right for some time now, but he was never been their type of conservative. He had previously been very critical of many of these preachers, but believed that he needed their help in winning the evangelical vote in this fall's election. McCain, realizing that the comments made and beliefs held by these two men were just plain indefensible and crazy, decided to stick to his principles and reject their support. This may cost him in the general election, but his principles and integrity will still be in tact.
