Falwell says evangelicals won't support Democrats [View All]

This little tidbit breaking on some southern television stations. . .and I say YAY! These fundies are headed for a major smackdown in the elections, and of course they'll immediately claim it is a "war on christianity." Frankly, I could give a rat's butt about their stinking claims to religious superiority. . .and I'm fed up with having them constantly bleating their religious beliefs as the only real source of christian thought.

However, one interesting statement once again points to the flipflopping McCain - who is scheduled to speak at Liberty University's commencement. I'm surprised - I thought Jerry would be booking Reverend Moon.

Falwell: evangelicals won't go for Democrats

LYNCHBURG, Va. The Reverend Jerry Falwell doubts that any Democrat will make inroads with evangelical Christians in the next presidential election because the party supports legal abortion and doesn't oppose gay marriage.

Falwell told C-N-N's "Late Edition" that former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is unlikely to gain evangelical support for the same reason. He said, "As conservative Christians who take the Bible seriously, we have probably irreconcilable differences on life and family."

But Falwell praised Senator John McCain as "pro-life" and "a strong conservative" whose "view on family is just where most conservative Christians' views are."

McCain has agreed to speak at Falwell's Liberty University commencement next month.
