The Elephant in the Room: McCain must change views on social issues (Rick Santorum)

[TigersEye]

I've known John McCain for almost two decades. Honor and integrity underlie everything he does.

Baloney.

[Sybeck1]

McCain is running like a Democrat. His positions are off limits and we aren’t supposed to be talking about them. 2012 can’t come soon enough, is Amerika is still here, of course.

Because marriage is a federal issue. Have you ever heard of a person who says, "I am married in the state of ." If marriage wasn't a federal issue, then someone wouldn't have broken a law by marrying one person in New York and one person in California.

One state recogtnizinf homosexual marriage will eventually force all 50 to.

[nickcarraway]

Who wants unlimited government except for McCain?

I don't care if India and China do join in on the Global Warming nonsense... why should a non-threat be regulated that will harm our economy, expose us to international laws, and accomplish the greatest amount of wealth-redistribution in history? These folks(R+D) have to be stopped.

Some video of McCain at youtube::

McCain vs. (Ret. Adm. Conrad) Lautenbacher

McCain shows his zeal for global warming regulations (and is a pompous, arrogant, disrespectful jerk) at the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, June 8 2005.
"...single most important issue affecting the world - climate change... "

Sen. John McCain refutes a global warming denier

“Debate is over... solution is through development of technologies that will help our economy... cap-and-trade ... climate change is real... an obligation of the stewardship of the earth ... In my view, the debate is over.”

John McCain on Global Warming

In this video, he says while Kyoto was opposed, if China and India would join, the US should consider a global agreement.
(”overwhelming evidence....” yada yada...)

Why not leave it up to the States?

I think because the Uniform Code Law requires that states accept and recognize the laws of other states. That would mean that non-same-sex marriage states would have to accept same-sex unions granted by another state.

[A CA Guy]

First I was told McCain was the big dog.
I thought that was a name given because his nose is always so far up the rear of all the Democrats.

Now I hear he's the elephant in the room?

Could be, I may have to hold my nose to vote for the McTurd, but I sure as hell don't have to claim to like him when I don't.

Still hoping for the best, meaning natural causes takes him out and we can substitute a real candidate.

If not for the two Marxist running on the Democrat side, no way I'd vote McTurd.

Santorum in ‘12

[mountainbunny]

If anyone knows about winning an election, it’s Rick Santorum, right?

[NathanR]

So if two gays ‘marry’ in Mass., and move to Texas, what happens if they want a ‘divorce’ in Texas? How does the division of property go? What if there are children? There has to be laws or at least guidelines.

That is why it is a Federal matter.

[Cyber Liberty]

So, Rick Santorum thinks that McCain can make up for his extremely faulty reasoning by speechifying? McCain has been poking conservatives in the eyes for so long that it’s going to take more than words to convince.

Barral is quite the good commie, isn’t he? Here is a five pager of the interview that was published back in 1970.

http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/declassified_fernando_interview_1_24_1970.pdf

This document is a transcript of an “exclusive” interview of POW John McCain by Spanish psychiatrist Dr. Fernando Barral. The meeting between Barral and POW McCain took [place] away from the POW camp in an office of the Committee for Foreign Cultural Relations in Hanoi. The interview was published January 24, 1970 in Havana, Cuba.

How true, if Rick had morphed into another Snarlin Arlen, he might be in the senate right now.

[donna]

Hey, Rick Santorum, how is your support for Arlen Specter working out for you?

Does Arlen call? Does he write?

[donna]

Because marriage is a legal contract like any other.

[exit82]

Bingo. McKook’s version of reaching across the aisle.

Before September, we need a new nominee.

[Ben Ficklin]

Santorum’s displeased because McCain doesn’t want to run on the queers and mexicans platform.

[Antoninus]

That’s up to the people of the Commonweath of Massachusetts, not to the Federal govt.

Just wait until a federal court decides that every state must recognize butt-sex marriages blessed by MA. Then it will be a federal issue and it'll be to d@mned late to do anything about it.

[donna]

If I have a choice of believing McCain or a communist, I’ll believe McCain easily.

Do you need a license to buy a house? A car? Accept a job? All legal contracts. Try again.
