Its interesting how McCain is a no-go with evangelicals. I would have thought they would hold him in higher esteem than the rest of the conservative base.

McCain has stabbed Christians in the back one time too many, but that is only one reason that we don’t like him.

John McCain trashed evangelicals in 2000 when he was running against then-Governor Bush. He was also part of the "Gang of 14" who tried to push the president to select moderate, pro-abortion nominees to the Supreme Court. McCain-Feingold is also aimed at preventing Christian organizations from being able to rally support at the time of an election. This pattern of action against evangelicals will likely keep them from ever supporting Mr. McCain.
