McCain to speak at Liberty graduation
John McCain shows a total lack of class by running back to the same evangelicals who slammed him in 2000. He knows he can't run for president without the Republican nomination so instead of displaying a little integrity and spurning the likes of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, he'll play along and show what a true weasel he is.
Keep running to the right, Senator.
"U.S. Sen. John McCain - a likely 2008 presidential candidate who once labeled the Rev. Jerry Falwell an "agent of intolerance" - will be Liberty University’s graduation speaker on May 13. "I was in Washington with him about three months ago," Falwell said. "We dealt with every difference we have. There are no deal breakers now. But I told him, ‘You have a lot of fence mending to do.’" Falwell, LU’s chancellor, said McCain, an Arizona Republican, is among the presidential candidates he could support in 2008. "This is not an endorsement," Falwell said. While running against then - Gov. George W. Bush in the South Carolina and Virginia primaries in 2000, McCain denounced Falwell and Virginia Beach televangelist Pat Robertson in what was seen as a move to lure more moderate voters to his campaign. "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right," McCain said at the time. McCain lost the Virginia and South Carolina primaries and Bush won the nomination. This year, some polls show McCain as the early front-runner for the Republican nomination in the campaign to become Bush’s successor. Falwell said McCain’s appearance at LU’s graduation is another sign that McCain is wooing evangelical Christians. "He is in the process of healing the breech with evangelical groups," Falwell said".
