How long a supper break you take Neocon? And when you go, everyone else goes, too! Clinton says McCain frustrated United Press International - February 29, 2000 12:11 Jump to first matched term By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON, Feb. 29 (UP) -- President Clinton said Tuesday he thinks Sen. John McCain was "frustrated" that evangelists Pat Robertson and the Rev. Jerry Falwell "didn't support him," and that "he's going to make them pay a price for it." Clinton was asked about McCain's blistering attack on the two leaders of the religious right as he headed for a helicopter on the South Lawn. He told reporters he did not want to "get into the primary" being held Tuesday in Virginia, but when pressed, he said, "If what (McCain) said is accurate, it's been accurate for years and years. But I think he was frustrated because they didn't support him, and he's going to make them pay a price for it." "Whether it's good politics or not is up to the Republicans," he added. On the campaign trail in Virginia on Monday, McCain lashed out at Robertson for "political intolerance" and singled out Falwell as "one of the agents of intolerance." Both Robertson and Falwell are supporting McCain's rival, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, for the GOP presidential nomination. McCain said Robertson was on the "outer reaches of American politics." The senator has also kept up a barrage against Bush for speaking at Bob Jones University, a Christian fundamentalist college in South Carolina. Clinton told reporters that his own views on the subject of the religious right are well known. "I've been on the record for years and years," he declared. "There's nothing more I can say about it." The Republican presidential race has taken on a harsher tone as the chips are down for the two main candidates -- McCain and Bush -- who face the crucial "super Tuesday" primaries on March 7. Last Sunday, Bush wrote to Cardinal John O'Connor apologizing for not distinguishing his views on religion and race from those of Bob Jones University. McCain supporters hit the telephones to call Catholics during the Michigan primary, and Bush aides claimed later that in those calls, the Texas governor was described as "anti-Catholic." "We are the party of Abraham Lincoln, not Bob Jones," McCain said. The senator has been winning points with independents and Democrats, but he is still unable to win the backing of a majority of Republicans. Most GOP leaders in Congess and in the state houses are supporting Bush. -- marketwatch.newsalert.com Sounds like Dems are afraid of McCain splitting off into an Independent.
