[...] The danger of this paragraph is two-fold. Both reasons connect to the media-created perception on McCain as a maverick. First, McCain has been actively shifting is ideology to the right on social issues over the last six years. He has become a diminutive clone of George W. Bush and has flip-flopped consistently to the right on social issues. If he was at one time too liberal for far right, he has remade himself into a scion of Falwell (even hiring Falwell’s former staffer Brett O’Donnell). McCain supports an immediate reversal of Roe v. Wade – I don’t think there’s a more regressive stance on abortion than that. McCain cut commercials in support of Arizona’s gay marriage ban. He is no liberal; his beliefs are squarely in line with the far right of the Republican Party. [...]

It has become quite clear, the Rethuglicans learned nothing
from the last election. Any real conservative is putting as
much distance between themselves, and the PsudeoChristian
fruitcakes like Falwell, Dobson, etc etc as possible.. After what
these dispicable creatures have shoved down the nations throat,
there is not a self respecting Moderate, or Independent
alive that will be associated with any Candidate that are in
anyway involved with, or beholden to, the Christian Right.
McCain is dealing himself out early for some odd reason. His
credibilty is already in question, due to his pandering to
the ProWar crowd. Aligning himself with Falwell, is sheer insanity.
and calls his intelligence into question.
Bye Bye John,

McCain had he chance to do what was right for both himself and the country in 04, he did not choose wisely. He supported Chimpman.

McCain must not be reading papers or watching tv, or reading blogs — he doesn’t have a chance. He is really in a state of denial.

“I am a pro-life, pro-family fiscal conservative, an advocate of a strong defense, and yet Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and a few Washington leaders of the pro-life movement call me an unacceptable presidential candidate. They distort my pro- life positions and smear the reputations of my supporters. Why? Because I don’t pander to them, because I don’t ascribe to their failed philosophy that money is our message.

…

The political tactics of division and slander are not our values, they are… (APPLAUSE) They are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country.

(APPLAUSE)

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. ”

67 – Jay, I think ShamRock was writing “tongue-in-cheek” so to speak. At least that’s the way I read it.

We know you’re no troll. However, to the Reich-wing, you may be perceived as an ogre!

I’m going to put it as plan and simple as I can: John McCain has NO crediability left, whatsoever. He is pandering to the worst of America when he kisses up to hateful so called christians like Fallwell. Jerry Fallwell is nothing but a bigoted, devil worshiping ahole who wouldn’t know Jesus Christ if he walked up to him. Just mouthing the words of the bible doesn’t make one Christ like in his deeds. He (Faldwell) hates minorities, and anyone who doesn’t agree with his extremist views on the issues of the day.

So go ahead McCain, hitch your wagon to the extremist and you invitation to the swearing in of the next President will be as a quest. You had it right when you represented the center of the political arena, but you ran right to your political demise. Any fool should realize that the right lost the last elections because they were too extreme, not to moderate. Remember Senator Rick Santorium, the uncompremising rightwing nut that stuck the Bush like a glove and Senator George (Macaca) Allen? Well my flip floping friend they lost and so will you.

Pandering to the false christians is what earned the GOP its minority status.

Note to false christians: God made gay people just as he made all the people. Your selective use of the old testament to support your hatred is in direct contradiction to the words Jesus spoke about love being the most important virtue.

America should not and must not elec a war mongering president wrapped up with extreme religious dogmas of leaders believe in Raputre, the end of time, and ‘war of civilizations’; a president who does not claim that wars were God sent messages to him. America should elect a man with new vision on how to live in this 21 century peacefully with all nations,religions and cultures on this planet..America saves billions of dollars by doing that and saves also thousands of live here and abroad. McCain looks like he is wearing the religious coat this coming elections. Will it work?!! I have doubts about his march to success carrying the torch of religion given to him by J.Falwell.

McCain doesn’t have a whisper of a chance to become president. He sold his soul to the corrupt GOP and was the original “flip flopper” – then he licked bootstraps and knuckled under on the terror bill….he’s a puny, sycophantic GOP “gopher”. It’s a shame because he at one time had integrity and, in joining ranks with corruption, has become corrupt himself.

He sold his soul as far as this country is concerned.
