John McCain's Supports Radical Right Homophobia and Sexism

Now that McCain has realized he will run in 2008 and this will be his last shot at the White House, he is doing whatever he can to win the nomination.
So now he's pandering to the far right "christian" Republican base by giving a speech at Jerry Falwell's college. Previously he was vehemently opposed to most, if not all, of Falwell's radical Christian values. He justifies his speech at Falwell's college by saying he is also speaking at colleges which attempted to ban military recruiters from their campuses. The issue of military recruiters on college campuses is a minor issue.
Here is what Falwell said four days after September 11, 2001, "What we say on [September 11th], as terrible as it is, could be minuscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve. ... I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle ... I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"

But if he is willing to make such a turnaround in just a few short years, how else will he sellout his previously stated values? Unless his previous stated values, weren't really his values, and now we are seeing his true values. Gosh, it is hard to know isn't it? Either way, political hack seems to fit either way.
