Evangelicals show support for McCain
AP – 7/3/2008
Mathew Staver, a conservative Christian activist, convened a private meeting of about 90 conservative evangelical leaders Tuesday night in Denver.
Pastor and “Left Behind” author Tim LaHaye says they enthusiastically endorsed McCain’s candidacy.
Staver says they talked about “energizing their base” and targeting efforts in states with ballot initiatives against homosexual marriage this fall such as Florida and California.
Asked whether it was opposition to Barack Obama or enthusiasm for McCain that motivated the group, Staver said: “Obama is a considerable threat to our values.”
At the same time, Senator McCain recently has been reaching out to evangelicals and conservative voters that we represent.”
Lee ADDS: Right-on! Maybe some have wakened to the fact that Obama is not the Christian he touts himself to be!
