Conservative leaders met with Sen. John McCain to urge the Republican presidential contender to talk more about social issues on the stump in order to get conservatives to the voting booths.
“If he doesn’t start talking about the social issues, I don’t see how he can possibly win Ohio,” said Phil Burress, head of Citizens for Community Values, a Christian group advocating family values.
Mr. Burress said he sent a clear message to Sen. McCain, but the senator made no promises he would incorporate conservative voters’ priorities — including opposing abortion, gay marriage and pornography — into his stump speech. At a town hall meeting Thursday afternoon prior to the meeting, Sen. McCain didn’t mention social issues.
This is pretty good advice, John. You spend too much time throwing barely understandable energy policy out there or you thump your chest like a sex crazed primate on national security. Look at all the polls! The people will vote with their wallets this time around and if you have no stands on the issues importasnt to the voter, then you will be a loser and in the largest way.
