"You know, I believe in redemption and growth," she told Fox. "And, you know, people who were previously misguided can see the light."

Yeah. And I believe that if I rub cheese wiz on my chest and flap my arms I'll be able to fly to the moon.

At least Chris Wallace got something out of the interview.

When she said Pro-life McCain, I was thinking she meant Lucas McCain.

Funny ... all these democrat senators fawning over McCain reminds me of the Europeans fawning over Kerry.

Somehow, I don't think it will change any votes. The only thing it will do is put McCain on the right ticket.

Would the Republicans have enough spine to kick McCain out of the party if accepted the vp slot from Kerry? Sometimes I wonder.

I believe that to be correct. However, it's generally after they serve the time for their crime!

John McCain Finds Abortion "Necessary"

The San Francisco Chronicle on August 20 reported the following statement from Sen. John McCain: "I'd love to see a point where (Roe vs. Wade) is irrelevant and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to (undergo) illegal and dangerous operations."

John McCain thinks legal abortion is "necessary." This statement has caused a strong reaction among pro-lifers who thought he was pro-life. They are shocked. But, when you look at his stated "Commitment to Life" on the John McCain for President website, his lack of interest in overturning Roe is perfectly understandable. He thinks abortion is necessary, because he thinks some babies do not deserve legal protection.

Despite the fact that Sen. McCain calls himself "pro-life," his website definition of that term clearly shows that he is not:

"John McCain is pro-life. He recognizes that ‘all human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Life is one of these rights.' "

[So far, so good.]

"John McCain opposes abortion with exceptions for rape, incest and at any time when the life of the mother is endangered by the pregnancy."

[Wait a minute! What happened to the "Creator endowed" right to life? How is it that some babies, because of the circumstances surrounding their conception, are excluded from those who have "unalienable rights?" And, since when is it "pro-life" to support the deliberate killing of an unborn baby for any reason? If the mother's life is in jeopardy, why not remove the baby and try to save his life? Unless, of course, you believe that for some reason, our Creator failed to endow him with the right to life.]

Referring to his voting record, Sen. McCain's website statement says, "John McCain has always been a strong supporter of the Hyde Amendment."

[Many people think the Hyde Amendment protects us from complicity in abortions by preventing our tax dollars from paying for them. Not true. Prior to 1993, the Hyde Amendment did allow taxpayer funding for abortions in the case of a threat to the mother's life. In 1993, the language was weakened to include rape and incest, forcing us to pay for abortions through our tax dollars for those reasons as well. In 1995, RNC for Life did a Survey of Members of the House and Senate in which we asked them if they would vote to strengthen the Hyde Amendment by removing the rape and incest language. Senator John McCain's response was "NO."]

McCain's refusal to support the repeal of Roe vs. Wade appears to be based on two things. First, he has made the incorrect assumption that, absent Roe vs. Wade, abortions would no longer be legal. In fact, the repeal of Roe vs. Wade would simply remove the federal courts from the picture and allow the individual states to freely regulate, restrict or prohibit the practice of abortion according to the will of the people. And second, why would he want to do away with Roe, as long as he thinks abortions are "necessary?"

Before lending support to any candidate, pro-lifers would do well to find out if he thinks the deliberate killing of a baby prior to birth is ever justified.

Could you imagine the feeding frenzy by the media if the Republicans had to look outside of their party in order to find a viable Vice Presidential candidate?

Why aren't the Republicans jumping on this story as further evidence that the Democrats lack qualified individuals capable of serving at the national level?

"We have pro-life Democrats [in our party]."

"I just don't happen to be one of them," she added once off microphone.

"Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she would support pro-life Republican Sen. John McCain if Sen. John Kerry tapped him as his running mate. "

The first rule in dealing with the clintons is, "Expect whatever they say/do to be unadultrated B.S. from the beginning.".

If the adage, "It's not what they SAY, but what they DO (or have DONE)" ever applied to anyone, it's the clintons...especially HER.

It's the same ol' song and dance..."CAMPAIGN TO THE CENTER/RIGHT, GOVERN TO THE LEFT". How many times does she think Americans will keep falling for that old shell game?

SHE THINKS SHE CAN ATTRACT THE "MODERATES" IF THEY PICK A "REPUBLICAN" (READ: RINO) AS EFFIN'S RUNNING MATE. She also thinks that she can start paving her way as a "moderate" for any future plans she's cooking up in that liberal/commie brain of hers.

Also, it will show [in their feeble minds] some sort of "victory" over Bush to attract a Republican to a kerry ticket...AND, IT WILL OPEN MCCAINS SEAT TO A RE-ELECTION OR GOVERNMENTAL APPOINTMENT...DILUTING THE CONGRESS.

So far - last I heard - McCain gave and emphatic "no", but politics make strange bedfellows, so tighten you seatbelt and hang on for the ride.

Why does it not surprise me that this bi-ch would take any opportunity to buttress the credibility of someone that spews in the manner and frequency of John McCain? And for all of McCain's protestations to the otherwise, I can see him joining Kerry quite easily.

McCain is NOT prolife. Nor is he conservative in any meaningful way.
