McCain Stomps on Constitution

Over 190,000 Arizonans petitioned to put Prop. 200 on the ballot. As it simply required proof of citizenship before receiving the benefits and privileges of citizenship, who could oppose it? Answer: the entire GOP congressional delegation, led by Sen. John McCain.

For conservatives, the stakes could not be higher.

For on the great controversies, McCain has sided as often with the Democrats and the Big Media that pay him court as with conservatives.

Where President Bush has been bravest, on taxes and judges, McCain has been his nemesis. Not only did McCain vote against the Bush tax cuts twice, he colluded to sell out the most conservative of the Bush nominees to the courts.

In 1993, McCain voted to confirm ACLU liberal and pro-abortion Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But when Bush set out to restore constitutionalism, McCain colluded with Democrats who wanted to retain power to kill Bush's most conservative nominees.

McCain helped form the Gang of 14, including seven Democrats, who agreed to block a GOP Senate from using the "nuclear option" – allowing a simple GOP majority to break a Democrat filibuster of judicial nominees – unless the seven Democrats approved. McCain thus conspired with liberals to put at risk the most courageous conservatives nominees of President Bush.

With his record of voting for liberal justices Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, and of colluding with Democrats in their campaign to kill the most conservative Bush nominees, what guarantee is there a President McCain will nominate and fight for the fifth jurist who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade?

In the battle over campaign finance reform, McCain colluded again. The McCain-Feingold law denies to gun folks and right-to-lifers their basic First Amendment right to name friends and foes in ads run before elections.

Get behind McCain and quit griping. The race is between Hillary and McCain. Anything else is wishful thinking and only helps Hillary.

....For all who realize Jorge is stubborn as hell, wait until this loon gets to the White House!

In 1993, McCain voted to confirm ACLU liberal and pro-abortion Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Oh, what a crap statement! The U.S. Senate confirmed Justice Ginsburg by a 96 to 3 vote! McCainhas consistently voted for conservative judicial nominees in tough fights, like Bork and Thomas, Roberts and Alito and produced three excellent lower court judges: Bill Pryor, Janice Rogers Brown, and Priscilla Owen.

Excuse me Mr. President, can I tag along?  Sure John, we need everyone we can get.

Statesman wanna-be John McCain speaks...

When it comes to Reaganism, I was right there leading the way...
...well, I was a foot soldier in that battle.

I don't share John McCain's goals for this nation.  Do you?

We need to make those tax cuts we helped push through permanent!

Yes John, whatever you say, but you fought them in the first place.

It's too bad there isn't a twelve step program for politicians like John McCain

I know one thing to be certain.  The White House is no place for his recovery.

"Get behind McCain and quit griping. The race is between Hillary and McCain. Anything else is wishful thinking and only helps Hillary."

Allow me to translate this statement for all of you. "Just suck it up allow McCain to do whatever he wants. Don't oppose him because you'll lose."

What kind of defeatist BS is this!!??

The Republican village must be burned to save it.

You are, of course, correct. This vote was take before the Democrats reneged on longstanding tradition (advise and consent, how quaint) and began sandbagging GW's appointments, and everything else, for that matter, as part of an overall nuclear war against GW which commenced in January, 2001.

Stand up for your guy! And welcome to FRee Republic!

Get behind McCain and quit griping.

In your dreams.

Since you put it that way...I'm with Ann Coulter.

Chuck you Farley.

Sorry, you’ll have to rape the Constitution without my assistance.

“Get behind McCain and quit griping.”

If you want to turn people even more strongly against McCain, you found the perfect way to do it.

Direct link please? For reference - Thanks> ;-)

oh good grief
Ginsburg was confirmed 96-3
Breyer 87-9

The Gang of 14 was a real piece of work. McCainiacs are still trying to sell it as ‘preserving the filibuster for Republicans.’ Well they can peddle that somewhere else. The Democrats will go nuclear in a nanosecond if the Republicans try to filibuster a Hillary or Obama appointment. Unfortunately, the Dems don’t have a turncoat like McLame stabbing them in the back at every opportunity, so they WILL do it when it suits them.
