Ok, thats all I needed (positive feedback is welcomed as well as negative, lets me know I'm not just pissing in the wind
). I find that some people, perhaps I lumped you in, tend not to discuss topics when their arguments fail the test of citation. I made the mistake of transposing the opinions of the person you posted as your own, and assumed your question was not honest, and I apologize. Around here I tend to assume the worst when it comes to political discussion
As for the Falwell thing, I can't disagree withe the fact that McCain has pandered more to the Christian right. But I can also recognize that this pandering has not affected his legislation or political hot-buttons in the least. If McCain suddenly supported a bill to eliminate evolutionary theory from public schools, I think this would be a big deal, but he hasn't so I just chalk it up to the nature of presidential politics. The only thing you could hang on that would be McCain's anti-abortion stance, but he always has been anti-abortion, and unapologetically so.
To me, his legislative consistency makes it a bit of a non-issue, especially compared to the out and out mistruths and lies that the person in the video tries to purport.
