Here's the text of the speech John McCain gave today at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. There are a number of eloquent, intelligent portions and if this speech had been given somewhere else ten years ago, I'd probably suggest you read it and appreciate the speaker's reasonable approach and seeming respect for differing viewpoints. But since around half past the Monica Lewinsky brouhaha, McCain has disappointed me time and again in this regard. The "maverick" stance looks more and more like a calculated marketing scheme.
