John McCain Mulls Speech At Bob Jones University

mccain-bush-hug.jpg

After harshly criticizing hardline Christian Bob Jones University in the 2000 election for its ban on interracial dating and anti-Catholic views, and in turn George Bush for speaking there, Sen. John McCain is now saying he would not turn down an offer to speak there himself.

Apparently they lifted the interracial dating ban and that's good enough for McCain, in that he sees benefits in courting the religious right so he can win the Republican nomination in the 2008 election. Principles matter little in the game of political opportunism, as McCain keeps demonstrating.

You know, I used to really like McCain. Now I wonder if he was ever sincere in his political life.... seems like he's doing anything and everything to win support for a 2008 run for the White House.

In that vein, should anyone who wants to be president that bad actually be allowed to serve as president?

I think it was author Gore Vidal who said (this may not be an exact quote), "By the time the 'right man for the job' of President finishes a presidential campaign, he is no longer the 'right man for the job.'"
