CQPolitics.com is reporting that John McCain met with Jerry Falwell last September 20. The meeting draws interest in part due to the fact that while McCain was running for President in 2000, he called Falwell an “agent of intolerance.” The article gives an interesting analysis of McCain’s apparently halfhearted attempt to court the conservative vote.
McCain would have to overcome numerous things to gain credibility with conservatives. He opposed the Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage in 2004, stating that he would reconsider his opposition if and only if efforts to ban it at the state level proved futile. The article indicates that his position has not changed since.
Although McCain opposed expanding embryonic stem cell research, this article reports that he now supports expanding this research on the bodies of the unborn.
The article stated that McCain is most likely to appeal to the average 2008 Republican primary voter if the conservatives go down in flames this fall. That’s all the more reason to work hard to elect conservatives like Ken Blackwell and Jim Jordan. The future of the Presidency could depend on it–and the future of the Supreme Court and this judicial tyranny will depend on that.
