McCain Tries To Make Amends With Christian Conservatives
Senator John McCain is hoping to regain good working relationships with activists that are Christian Conservatives as he feels he will need their support for the GOP nomination. People question his sincerety due to past statements and congressional bill writing. He has hired people to help reconstruct his relationships with such groups, and has been making many strides in his attempts to make things better.

I am so tired of politicians trying to please the conservative christian groups. They get so offended about everything, and strike down anyone who makes comments not resembling there own ideology/ preferences. Sadly this faction still retains a stronghold on the majority of Americans. When will people start to think for themselves? Personally,I would vote for a politician who attacked the christian religion, obviously they would lose the election, but I bet they would sleep better at night.
Yeah the primaries seem to give the religious right a strong hold on the republican candidate. This time around appealing to the right might mean suicide come November.
