On Sunday, McCain said that Christian conservatives have a major role to play in the Republican Party, but added, "I don't have to agree with everything they stand for."

And they don't have to vote for you.

...In fact, I agree with almost nothing they stand for. After I get those chumps to help me get elected, I'll groin kick them into the middle of next week, heh, heh.

The Chameleon speaks again. He's as bad as slick Willie; say something controversial, get grilled for it, change your position. Spineless RINO.

I believe his melanomas have metastasized to his brain.

If McCain thought it would help him to blast Falwell, he'd do that instead.
McCain will sell out whatever it takes to be president. This guy scares me.

McCain is realizing he needs to kiss a lot of booty to get the GOP nomination. I wonder if he can make up with National Right to Life.

Politicians get it backwards. It is they who must win our votes, not we who are to yeild to them. Falwell can support whomever he pleases, but just because I largely agree with his theology does not mean that I will support his political picks. Sorry McCain! Won't work on me.

Is there any Christian point of view he does agree with?

"McCain Softens Language on Jerry Falwell"

How kind of McCain (sarcasm) and how timely.

"And they don't have to vote for you."

Agreed. Let's work to see that someone else gets the nomination.

The Republican senator from Arizona will be the commencement speaker in May at Liberty University...

I'm a little perplexed at this. He has a right to speak, but it wouldn't be on my dime.

I really can't imagine why Jerry would give this snake a platform.

So, candidate McCain wishes to appease the Reagan-Conservatives?
(For those not up to snuff on the 80s, Reverend Falwell and President Reagan were quite amiable towards one another)

McCain will take the opportunity at the commencement to overtly stick it to Falwell.

Years ago a group in Oregon made the mistake of not only inviting him to speak at their annual event but actually paying a substantial fee, only to have him ambush everyone there and openly accuse them of being bigated and intolerant....from their own podium....on their own dime. It was a truly a hoot and the media just ate it up for weeks.

I wouldn't trust McCain as far as I could throw him.

I don't know about ya'all, but if McCain is nominated by the Republicans, I'm voting for someone else.

"I don't have to agree with everything they stand for."

Come on John, just tell us what you don't agree with, or are you afraid of distancing the GOP base even more.

Blacks are to the Democrat Party as:

a) Chevas Regal is to Ted Kennedy
b) Carpet cleaning is to Hillary Clinton
c) Ethanol is to Illinois, or
d) Christians are to the Republican Party

I bet lots of candidates (red and blue) will be gettin' that ol' time religion before the next election cycle is done.

Far to many conservatives remember this guys words. He's got no chance of winning the primary. None whatsoever.

The press made this guy out to be the GOPs dream candidate back in '00. And the only spot he ever polled well was in New England and Iowa.

GOP voters do not vote the way they do because of the press. They vote the way they do inspite of what the press says. So any plans McCain has for the press reports to help him in the primary are misplaced.
