This morning I was listening to a representative of evangelicals on PBS. He was saying that the religious wrong has some reservations and differences with John McCain. The commentator ask what it would take to reconcile those differences and the fellow replied that it depended on what McCain says between now and the election.
I can tell you what John McCain is going to do, what he always does, talk out of both sides of his mouth. McCain condemned the radical divisiveness of Jerry Falwell and then only weeks later, after making his bid for the presidency, appeared with Falwell and spoke at Liberty University's Commencement.
Now Johnny has completely reversed himself on waterboarding and torture. The press loves to refer to McCain as a maverick, because of his rhetorical differences with the republicans, but he has never once voted those differences. How maverick is that? He also is referred to as a man of honor because of his military service, but if a war hero stands up for right, regardless of pressure & politic and then votes for wrong, is he that heroic? I urge you to take a look a these links below and judge if this fellow is the kind of US presidential candidate we should even consider. I realize that the integrity bar for the presidency is at a historical low and anybody would be an improvement.
