And to think I used to kind of respect John McCain
I put up with him panting after Bush, thinking he just had an overdeveloped sense of loyalty or whatever, but this?
McCain to speak at Liberty University
JERRY FALWELL'S university?
"The Arizona senator will give the commencement address Saturday at Liberty University, the Christian school in Lynchburg, Va., headed by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, a fundamentalist Baptist. McCain called Falwell and the Rev. Pat Robertson intolerant and "evil" in 2000 after blaming them for a smear campaign against him."
But whatever gets you the votes, huh, Senator? I don't know what's worse, thinking that he actually shares Falwell's beliefs or that he's so politically cynical that he's willing to suck up to these people.
I also didn't realize this:
"He said they agreed on what he called the two most pressing issues to social conservatives: opposing abortion and gay marriage. He said they disagreed over how to combat gay marriage: Falwell supports a federal constitutional amendment, while McCain prefers to ban it at the state level. But he applauded McCain's commitment to support a federal amendment if courts throw out state bans."
Well, it's good to know, I suppose. Sigh. Knowledge is power, blah, blah. Knowledge is disillusionment too, these days.
