"He is pro-life in his heart of hearts, in my opinion," said Rep. Christopher H. Smith, New Jersey Republican and a pro-life movement leader, who said Mr. McCain's commitment stretches back across decades of votes in the House and Senate.
"When you contrast him with the alternative and you think about such things as Supreme Court appointments, McCain is a far better choice," said Barbara L. Lyons, executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life, an organization that took Mr. McCain all the way to the Supreme Court over his campaign-finance laws, and won.
"From my perspective, I see him as someone we can enthusiastically support, and I look forward to his getting elected," Mr. Jakubczyk (president of Arizona Right to Life) said, adding they have endorsed Mr. McCain every time he has run in Arizona.
"I have been on the campaign trail, I have been at meetings with him, I have been at organization and party gatherings, the issue with him is very clear that he's pro-life," (Jan Brewer, Arizona Secretary of State) said.
For Matt Salmon, a strong pro-life advocate and former congressman from Arizona, there's no doubt where Mr. McCain comes down.
"I have been with John McCain through thick and thin. This is a man I truly believe in, and I could not be as supportive as I am if I thought there was any ounce of equivocation," he said.
Mr. Salmon said that was solidified during his 1994 campaign for Congress when he was the only pro-life candidate in a crowded field of Republicans. "He endorsed me in that primary, and he told me the reason he did was because of my pro-life stance," Mr. Salmon said.

What will you do when Duncan Hunter endorses John McCain?
If opposing abortion is a dear issue to your heart (as it is to mine), then John McCain is your candidate for this election. If NARAL gave him a 96% pro-life rating, there has to be something right about this guy!
What will you do when Duncan Hunter endorses John McCain?

“If the best we get are a couple of young Sandra Day O’Connors, that is a LOT better than getting two young liberals.”
True, but John McCain is very likely to appoint someone to the right of O’Connor or Kennedy. The GOP learned its lesson the hard way. Expect the GOP to fight like the Dickens if McCain appoints anything less than an Alito or Roberts!
So....Does this mean that we are supposed to be single issue voters now?????
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
“Duncan Hunter. He will be my write in candidate.”
Then you and the other .000000101% of the electorate who vote for him should be very happy...
NARAL and Right to Life disagree with you.

So what pro-life candidate do YOU support for president?
And what are his chances of winning? (A 100 percent Right to Life rating times ZERO percent chance of winning is still ZERO).
Co-founder of National Right to Life Endorses McCain
Dr. Carolyn Gerster:
“John McCain is the most qualified candidate and has a consistent and principled pro-life record,” said Dr. Gerster. “He has spent his career standing up for human rights and he will continue to do so as president. John McCain will nominate judges who understand the sanctity of human life, and firmly believes that courts should not be legislating from the bench. John McCain has the conviction, strengths, and experience to serve as commander in chief from day one and that is why he has my vote.”

Too bad he seemed to take a left turn somewhere.
you can whine and snivel about mccain/feingold, and all the rest of the mcinsane BravoSierra but the old geezer with T-rex arms is still our best choice
BY FAR
I'm sure a lot of proud FReepers, would like to take credit for McCain losing (especially hoping he'd lose the primary), and rightly so.
But on the other hand it would be a million times worse to have Obama as leader of the free world.
I disagree about the zero, are you taking big money bets ?
When McCain loses, I don't want to hear any of this "thanks to all you cut-and-run conservatives who stayed home" crapola in November.
BEFORE THE ELECTION:
"Ha! Go ahead you purist conservatives and write-in your extreme right-winger! You're not the majority anyway!"
AFTER THE ELECTION:
"WAAA! WAAAH! Why couldn't you purists vote for our RINO?"
Uh, Hunter endorsed the Huckster there pal.
