WASHINGTON - Conservative Gary Bauer is endorsing Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

The prominent abortion foe says in a statement that McCain "has dedicated his life to defending human rights around the world, including the rights of the unborn." The McCain campaign released Bauer's statement.

Bauer himself ran for president in 2000.

McCain thanked Bauer for his support. The Arizona senator says, "Gary has always been a forceful, unapologetic advocate for the sanctity of life and traditional marriage, judicial restraint and a strong American foreign policy based on our values."

This isn’t something that’s difficult to figure out.
McCain or Hillary!/Obama?

McCain at his worst is better than either of those people. I will vote early and often for McCain.

Bauer is referred to as “Burnt Toast” and Rick Perry as “Kool-aid Drinker” in Christian radio circles.

It appears on every thread.

Well, you're obviously a Democrat. I heard McCain expects a lot of Democrats to "cross-over" and vote for him. Nothing new here, I guess.

Exactly!! Now, every single person who endorses McCain will be called a RINO around here, no matter their past track record. Talk about the Democrats eating their own.

Gary Bauer endorsed McCain in 2000. He was in favor of Campaign Finance Reform. He is most definitly not my kind of conservative. I agree with him on some important issues, but I have yet to ever agree with him on strategy or candidate selection. So go bake yourself a cake or something, Bauer, and stop seeing yourself as spokesperson for every evangelical in the world. I don’t follow bossy.

You can vote as many times as you want but McCain is doomed to lose in a landslide, especially if it is Obama. You are tilting at windmills.

Not only did I hear that, the curandera next door is the gal working the spell.

"They will shrivel up and become very small." She says. "Then a great ravenous hunger will overtake them and they will eat their own."

McCain is about to receive a makeover like no other. Don’t let the naysayers tell you any different, they’ll hold their noses and vote for him when the time comes.
