Find me anything in his voting record in the house or senate, or any speech or op-ed where he said or supported anything that wasn't pro-life on abortion or showed any weakness on marriage is between only a man and a woman.
His voting record, on abortion and marriage is 2nd to NO ONE in the senate.
I do not like McCain, or some of whom he associates with, but his record on abortion is steller, no one in the entire house or senate can claim to, on their record, have a better record then John McCain, nor when it comes to the issue of marriage.
I may not agree with some of the folks who he has backed, and some of them have issues in which they disagree with McCain, it does not change his own views, nor does it re-write history.
Social issues are the only area in which he hasn't sold out.
