MEDIA ADVISORY, Feb. 5 /Standard Newswire/ -- The Reverend Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK), who yesterday warned evangelicals not to vote for Mike Huckabee out of concern it will lead to an unacceptable win for John McCain, today released this statement:
"Evangelical and other traditional Christians will make the difference in today's Super Tuesday contest. Voting is a matter of Christian stewardship. John McCain is the wrong candidate for many reasons. Most serious will be McCain's choice of judges that will protect his unconstitutional McCain-Feingold law that limits the First Amendment rights of Christians and others. As a result, McCain's judicial appointments will also be pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage and against the public acknowledgment of God.
"Regrettably, Mike Huckabee is being used to siphon votes so McCain will win. Even if Governor Huckabee is promised McCain's vice president slot, he will be marginalized and rendered ineffective in a McCain administration.
"I've talked with John McCain publicly and privately. John McCain is not the man moral or social conservatives want in the White House.
"Evangelicals, Roman Catholics and other moral and social conservatives have other candidates to choose from today, including, in alphabetical order, Alan Keyes, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. Christians need to select a candidate prayerfully and carefully, balancing our core convictions with the realities in this highly consequential race. We need the candidate with the best qualifications who can go up against Hillary or Barack. Christians must choose wisely today."
Reverend Rob Schenck released this statement in his capacity as a private citizen. For identification purposes only, Schenck is president of Faith and Action in the Nation's Capital, chairman of the Committee on Church and Society for the Evangelical Church Alliance and co-founder of the annual National Memorial for the Pre-born and their Mothers and Fathers, the only pro-life worship service held inside the U.S. Capitol complex in Washington, DC.
