McCain isn't the worst candidate on the life issue. He is wobbly though.

In order to protect McCain-Feingold, he took the Wisconsin Right to Life all the way to the SCOTUS. Apparently this was done to protect his campaign finance bill, and Russ Feingold in Wisconsin.

McCain and several other liberals, lost that in a decision written by Samuel Alito.

Knowing McCain, this is probably why he came out with the comment that “Alito wears his conservatism on his sleeve.”

McCain is also fine with embryonic stem cell research. Like it or not, these issues are important to many.

McCain is better than Obama, but with dems in control in Congress, I have doubts about whether this issues would end up expendable with McCain. They weren't with Bush, but McCain has shown that he is isn't overly committed to these issues, especially if it comes up against his legislative babies.

Weird. I’m just cutting and pasting McCains stance on the issues directly from this website so they can be discussed here. I’m not advocating them, I’m not extolling them I’m just pasting the facts. On most of these threads I’m not even commenting much, preferring to see what others have to say.

You then accuse me of censorship, suppression and indoctrination AND of being a paid member of McCain’s campaign.

Just...plain...weird.

I would not accuse you of indoctrination. I still will accuse you of going to the basest level of suppression, and demanding a type of censorship.

Hmm?(scratching my head) who does that remind me of?

Could it be McCain?, like in McCain-Feingold? The protection of incumbents who the folks want to get rid of for being off the reservation but we can’t get the word out because the truth may hurt?

Sorry, Bob, Flame me if you wish.

Then take a ;look at ALL of McCain’s positions, not just the ones you don’t like. Abortion, the Second Amendment, the Fairness Doctrine, the sanctity of marriage, spending, Iraq, defense and others.

Also, if you vote third party and lose (as they inevitably will without something radical happening soon) who do you complain to when Obama is president? Obama sure as hell isn’t going to listen to you but McCain MIGHT.

Why don’t you show me where I’ve once used the term “haters” on any of these issue threads.

“I would not accuse you of indoctrination. I still will accuse you of going to the basest level of suppression, and demanding a type of censorship.”

To a hysterical anti-McCainiac, asking to stay on topic is censorship.
