Sellout
John McCain really wants to be president. He’ll kiss up to anybody…
McCain named spring graduation speaker at Falwell’s Liberty LYNCHBURG, Va. — U.S. Sen. John McCain will speak at Liberty University’s spring graduation ceremony.
McCain, an Arizona Republican considering a presidential run in 2008, will address the graduating class at the May 13 event, said the Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of the private evangelical Christian school.
McCain, 69, labeled Falwell an “agent of intolerance” during his campaign against then-Gov. George W. Bush in the South Carolina and Virginia GOP primaries in 2000.
“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. He lost to Bush in both states.
Falwell said McCain’s appearance at Liberty is a sign that the senator is wooing evangelical Christians, but it doesn’t necessarily signal a Falwell endorsement.
Remember this shameful scene?
Besides being a shameless sellout, the man is also old. If elected, he will be 72 when he begins his first term. He’ll be 80 when he finishes his second term. That’s pretty old.
