24. They don't have to. McCain already denounced Hagee's anti-Catholicism.

He, or his aides, are better at damage control than Obama is.

As a Catholic, I think it's outrageous how the GOP panders to anti-Catholic evangelicals but I know they do it to
win. They may be anti-Catholic themselves but I am not voting for them anyway so it's not a big deal to me.

It's more outrageous that Democrats keep kicking us Catholics in the teeth, allowing the GOP to win over a lot of
Catholic voters. Why alienate a large voting bloc? "Oh, Catholics don't vote as a bloc now." No, not after the Dems
abandoning our concerns and the GOP reaching out to us; now we vote as two blocs. Brilliant Dem strategy.

I remember when Catholics almost always voted Democratic, and Democrats won elections. There is a
correlation there and Democrats have chosen to treat Catholics as undesirables. I guess seizing defeat from the
jaws of victory allows Dems to be victims and complain about how unfair things are, instead of getting smart and
starting to change things.

I wonder when tapes of Wright ranting against Catholics will surface?
