If he does flip on abortion, I will vote for everything but the Presidential slot.

Or, I might write in FRed.

IF he does this, he will lose in a landslide.

No cheers, unfortunately.

Full Disclosure: changing the party platform on abortion is inconsistent with appointing constructionist judges, as the underpinnings of Roe v. Wade are not supported by a strict reading of the Constitution.

If he does this it will make my decision on who to not vote for so much easier. If this had been his stand all along, I would not have liked it but I would have known where he stood.

To change now though would say, IMO, that he just wants to win and what little conservative values he has are for sale.

But still, all the Koolaid drinking McMainiacs on this forum still believe he is rock solid on voting for Constructionist/Constitutional Judges and is against abortion. If the issue of his backstabbing tendencies is even mentioned they go into a tantrum, close their eyes, put their hands over their ears and say LA, LA, LA, LAAAAAA, LAAAA, LAAAAAAAA!

Then say, if we don’t vote for him we betray all the unborn babies our troops our country and our momma. And the country is dooooomed forever! SHAME SHAME SHAME, you McCain-hater Troll!

McCain has not been consistent wrt Roe v. Wade either:

McCain said he thought Roe v. Wade should be overturned and said he would support exceptions to a ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is in danger.
(Source: Boston Globe, p. A11 Jan 22, 2000)

McCain said, “I’d love to see a point where Roe vs. Wade is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary.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 women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.” A spokesman said that McCain “has a 17-year voting record of supporting efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade. He does that currently, and will continue to do that as president.”
