David Brody has the scoop on Christian lit the McCain camp is distributing to churches across the country. The document is framed as a voting guide to the hot button social issues: abortion, gay marriage, judges, sex education, school choice. That's all well and good. This is the kind of thing McCain needed to start doing a year ago to mobilize the GOP's faith-based base.
But what surprises GOM is that the McCain campaign, in background interviews, argues that the evangelical movement is much more broad-minded than it used to be, pointing out that McCain's leadership on issues like global warming is likely to resonate with this crowd. In its limited evangelical outreach, however, McCain has ignored those centrist positions to bang the drum on the kind of culture war issues that McCain has long been uncomfortable discussing--which made him so unpopular with the Christian Right for so long.

look John McCain believe life begins at conception. He also believes in freedom of speech. That is more than i can say for Obama/. I think even Christians need to wake up. There are more things important. Or one day we might wake up and not have religious freedom anymore. Just read up on Odingo in the Washington times. That is a cred. news source
christians should form their own party and get out of the republican party. Then they could all vote for their flat earth ideas and let the country get on with a secular form of government without their backward bronze age agenda.
Abortion and gay rights are issues that SHOULD be addressed in each state (re: James comment). The Federal government has usurped far too many states rights and interferes with issues that should be left to the individual states to decide.
John mccain does not even go to church. so religious issues are just a joke with him. Maybe he stopped going when you was having the affair with cindy while he was married to carole. Evang are the biggest hipocricts that exist. The Lord said you will know by the fruit they bear.
And the fruit of the evangelicals is poison to rational thought and actions.
