YOU are dishonest if you think the ads are. McCain's bluster is that "each and every one" of these items is pork. Cancer research is pork? What a crock!

So what'll it be November. Voting for Algor? Bush is a liar.

Looks like McCain's Hate-Express (express-hate?) campaign just lost another prop: On religious issues, McCain was criticized by social conservative Gary Bauer (news - web sites), who had endorsed him shortly after ending his own Republican presidential candidacy, and prison evangelist Charles Colson, whom McCain praised in the controversial speech. Bauer said Wednesday that McCain should apologize for the ``ill-advised and divisive' speech that compared religious right leaders Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell to activists Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton, divisive figures on the left. But Falwell weighed in with charitable words on McCain's behalf. ``I personally think that the senator in a moment of frustration said things that he normally would not say,' Falwell told Roanoke, Va., TV station WSLS. ``And it's out of character for him to be that way.' Falwell said McCain got bad campaign advice. ``I don't believe John McCain is a bigot or hates Christians or hates anybody,' Falwell said. In an opinion piece in The New York Times today, Colson said by ``exploiting' Bush's visit to Bob Jones University to gain Catholic votes, McCain abetted Democrats who want to ``drive a wedge' between Catholics and evangelical Protestants. dailynews.yahoo.com
