Heck, Obama is even trying to out-flank McCain to the right. What's with Barack jumping on board all these conservative rulings by the Supremes this week? Obama better hide those voting records of his for the next six months though otherwise the gag is over.

"We need a reason to coalesce around Sen. McCain, and I believe we are starting to get that."

Wasn't his vast knowledge of Shi'ite and Sunni differences enough?

Will someone please explain how, exactly, voting AGAINST healthcare for poor children is "pro-life" or a "Christian" value? ...or how supporting an unncessary war that has killed thousands of innocents is "pro-life" or "Christian" or how opposing life-saving research is "pro-life" ...or how spreading lies and hateful and - quite frankly - racist rhetoric about immigrants is "Christian" or "pro-life"?? How is blocking legistlation that would help children once they are born into poor households in this country - "Pro-Life"??

These "Christians" have not been reading their Bibles very closely...and they are anything but Pro-Life...lets call them what they are- Anti-abortion...nothing Pro-Life about the rest of their "values", no matter how good it may make them feel about themselves.

These evangelicals have been duped. Just b/c someone calls themselves a Christian and claims to represent "Christian values" ...doesn't make it true.

The Republicans represent values all right, the value of their stock portfolio prime among them...this "Christian Values" nonesense and all the buzz words they use are just a means to that end. Even the Devil quoted scripture when it served his purposes.

I guess he's giving up on getting those left leaning Hillary supporters? I would have thought he would keep quiet a bit longer on being pro-life.

Hope he speaks out soon so that everyone can see that his positions are virtually identical to Bush. When he speaks it's like a ventriloquist and his puppet (no pun intended). Please, pander to the conservatives so that you can drive even more voters to Obama (or Barr).

I cannot comprehend why on earth you would want to placate the people who are responsible for placing the imbecile George W. Bush into office. Those people need to have no voice in politics as it is very evident that their lack of judgment is seriously detrimental to our country's well being.

Thats it Uncle Johnny.....Pander, Pander, Pander. The "riech wing" of the republican party in this country already see your political obituary on the wall, and no matter how you twist your lies around, no one seriously believes you are the "Deliverer" for the faithful. "You can't saaaaave them Johnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn McCain........nooooooooooooo, so stop trying!!!!!!" Religious "pet" issues have been marginalized this year and the Supreme Court will become more liberal in the future. Obviously that is needed in light of this latest ruling on gun ownership.

Interesting how the "pro-lifers" never say a word about the death and destruction wrought for years now by Bush and his Republican supporters. War is never an issue with right wing Conservatives. But then John McCain wants to keep it going for another 100 years so no wonder he's pandering for their vote.

McCain should focus in the moderates, they will determine who wins in Novemeber. If the conservatives ( and Im one of them)cant figure out that middle is much better than extreme liberalism of O'bamboozle, we are in trouble.

Still no mention of McCain having his closed door meeting with the gay republicans. I'm waiting. Hello, anyone there, anyone care that McCain keeps having closed and secret meetings. Hello, hello, knock, knock, is there a decent reporter out there. Yoohoo....can you hear me?

If John thinks that being a conservative this year will help him, he has not a clue about the political climate in this great country. Conservatism is something he needs to avoid. American voters have been there and look who wound up in the White House. Seven and a half years of chaos, lies, arrogance, and contempt for all of us that discovered the ineptness of the president and his boss (Cheney).
Conservatism is a social disease that is destined to implode.

Good to know that you have lost your job to verseas, your health insurance, your pension, your 401K is in the crapper, McWar wants more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, more war in Iraq (didn't we win this one five years ago?), bigger deficits, but it's good to know that gays can't marry. This guy is going to be shredded in November.

I think the ring is not what he is aiming to embrace but I can't say what that is in polite company.

Dobson is busy making a fool of himself all over the place and even the conservative religious are harrumphing over his major faux pas and Obama's wonderful take on the relationship between religion and government. McCain's respect for the Constitution is somewhere between the present government's and lip service. It will be so refreshing to see a Constitutional lawyer in the White House.

I suppose that is why Mr. John McBush met in secret with Gay Republicans so the MSM, like usual, will not point out his contradictions. I pray everyday that all of you in the Corporate Media will lose your jobs and the people who are actually doing REAL investigative reporting will take your place.

Well back to the drawing board because McCain's newly drafted message is "vote for me because the other guy is smarter I mean, stronger, no I meant scary and and he belongs to a country club". Wonder how those evangelicals feel about his meeting with the Log McCabins?

I have a hard time understanding how the republicans can keep talking about being against abortion when they already have a republican majority on the Supreme court to go ahead and over-turn Roe vs Wade. Why doesn't a republican challenge the law? The law came into effect under Nixon(1973), a republican,and it has remained a law under the past Ford,Bush, Reagan, Bush administrations. Five presidents, 25 years - and the republicans never change it! They do not want to let Roe vs Wade be overturned because it is their one selling point to get votes. What a sham! All of these republican appointed judges and republican presidents and not one change! Unbelievable! Just because it is lawful, doesn't make people have to do it. Alcohol is legal, I don't drink. And even if it is overturned,women will just have illegal abortions. I don't want to see anyone be in the position to need/want an abortion.

The point is: the lies and hypocrisy of the republican party to mislead the public and deceive them with their intentions. I want nothing to do with the republican party. Nothing!

Billy learned long-ago to never support a candidate in the GE. That advice served him well, until he got in trouble with Nixon.

John McCain would be a fool to start talking about "family issues" given the terrible way he cheated on his first wife because she lost her beauty to a Christmas car crash and married the youthful and filty rich Cindy before the ink was even dry on his divorce papers. When more people learn about McCain's family values, the evangelicals will rank him just below Rudy Guiliani.

That there is a huge group of people who, with ALL of the problems this country has both nationally and internationally, will vote for a president based SOLELY on one issue is disgusting and greatly disturbing.

Keith, Anderson, IN — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:33:41 GMT

I wonder why Mr. McCains functions that include religious ideology are always "closed to the press"? Maybe it is because McCain has never been a republican? Has flip-flopped his pro-choice, pro-life, views over the years? I dont know, maybe, the republicans really do not have a republican candidate at all this year?

Take it from the son of a Baptist Preacher. You dont. You have a candidate that is flat out lying to you on every issue that christians believe in. You might not like Obama, but remember, McCain was the liberal republican-democrat 8 years ago. Has he changed? No, he hasnt. What has changed is his position in a presidential election.

I am the son of a hellfire and brimstone baptist preacher. Although I find this hypocritical, my father is not voting this year. Although he preached to me for years, God gave you your right to vote, you should vote, he cannot bring himself to vote for Mr. McCain.

So what does that tell you McCain supporters? Maybe my father, who has been a baptist preacher for 28 years is a bad christian? Um, I laugh at that. Maybe it is that your party has sold its soul to be democrat! Goodbye GW, and AMEN!

Obama/Willy Wonka, it doesnt matter.
