McCain On Extremists Taking Over Both Parties in 2002

[rooley]

So Falwell is a nut but Hagee is ok with him? Sorry, McCain, but you are full of shit.

He isnt answering the question. The woman on the phone asks about christian viewpoints taking over the republican party on issues as abortion and others (gay marriage?).

McCain evades to answer by picking some statements of republicans that he rejects, while not getting specific about his own viewpoints on secularization. Instead he talks about "extremism", not his view on the christian agenda.

wow he has completly changed!!

[InReasonWeTrust]

McCain has done a back flip on fundamentalists this entire year, from the Falwell-Hagee flop to his elevation of an extreme fundamentalist choice of VP. He should have gone with Tom Ridge, but he still buys into the Reaganesque idea that the religious right is a "must have".

If he was a true maverick, he would have set a true new course for his party. Instead, he sets it back to 1984.

He seems like an entirely different man! I didn't realize he was ever lucid or vaguely interesting. I thought folks who said he was once sort of all right were just being respectful or sympathetic because of his mutant, diseased appearance, his ugly agedness, or the pathetic war-victim thing (boo-hoo). He's now like an evil twin of this guy--who constructs a cogent argument that isn't a puke of uptight talking points. He really completely sold out at some time around 8 years ago, didn't he?
