Did John McCain Really Refuse to Meet With One Of the Most Beloved People on the Planet?
Ticking Time Bomb?
(Fox News) - The John McCain campaign insists it is trying to arrange a meeting with the Evangelist Billy Graham after a letter surfaced from the McCain camp that suggested the candidate didn't have time for such a meeting. Graham, the nation's best-known Christian evangelist, had long been a spiritual adviser to presidents of both parties.
The letter, written June 3 by McCain scheduling director Amber Johnson to an intermediary trying to set up a meeting, came to light as the McCain camp tries to patch things up with Christian conservatives.
It reads, "I must pass along our regrets and do not foresee an opportunity to add this event to our calendar."
But a McCain spokesman tells FOX News the campaign has been working with Graham's office directly for months on a meeting.

If the Christian Right falls for this crap and makes sympathetic noises toward McCain, like the NRA did, that will about finish off any respect I had for them. Of course, so many pubbies are still falling for that brain-dead lesser of two evils nonsense, so I guess I won't be very surprised.
Who are the Christian right anymore? The only one of the old Christian right I see on TV anymore is Pat Robertson, and he's sitting on a couch with Al Sharpton on a commerical about global warming.
