P.S., I’ve been very afraid that McCain was setting us all up by what he said at Saddleback, by coming out so strong about how he would have a pro-life administration if he wins. He said it so emphatically that I can’t help he was trying to mollify pro-lifers for when he chooses a pro-choice VP. That he’s trying to make the vinegar go down more like honey. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t trust him. He likes his maverick image, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls some pro-choice VP out of the hat thinking he’ll get more independent voters. What McCain has to realize is that he will lose a bunch of blue-collar Dems too, may of whom are Catholic and pro-life, if he chooses a pro-choice VP. Why would he gamble with his one chance at the Presidency? Because McCain is a risk taker. He’s like Tom Cruise in Top Gun, a bit of a loose cannon. And because I think he likes to stick it in one’s face when he can get away with it. We shall see. Sincerely hope I’m wrong. I too got sucked in by his extraordinary and excellent performance at Saddleback. Just hope he wasn’t trying to lay the groundwork for a bad surprise further down the road, like a bad VP choice. We shall see.
McCain has a long history of being pro-life. Ther are a lot of things to be wary of regarding McCain, but this issue is not one of them.
