A matter of life: In almost every way, McCain, Obama on opposite sides of America's abortion divide

Saved me?...  I didn't say I saved you.  I said I hope I have saved you from having to wade through my posts.  I'm quite willing to be frank about my beliefs.  You don't have to go looking to find them.

Don’t vote for McCain and help elect the socialist empty suit, Barry Obama.  That empty suit will have about 275 votes in the House and about 56 in the Senate.  The empty suit you want to vote for will have 375 votes in the House and about 90 in the Senate when he wants to pass leftist legislation.  When it comes to leftist legislation, you're setting up one party rule by trying to elect a man that will have no opposition, and Democrat and Republican support for the leftist stuff he wants to do.  I'd prefer the empty suit that will have some opposition.

Your ilk saves no one and yet you hold yourself in such high regard.  I have offered my opinion.  How does that reflect me holding myself in higher regard than you hold yourself when you offer up an opinion?  Good grief.  Get a grip.

The facyt that McCain can change his positions and is showing some signs of that makes zero impression on the self-righteous such as yourself.   Oh changing his mind is what John does best.   Name a topic John hasn't been on both sides of.  Seriously.

Got a perfect candidate to beat Obama? ... I didn’t think so.  No I don't.  But I will congratulate you on picking the perfect candidate to pass leftist aganda.  Democrats will vote for John's leftist nonsense because they want it.  Republicans will vote for it because they want quid pro quo and a political future.

Marginalize yourself some more for us ... it is instructive.  I hoped that it would be.  You many disagree with my final decison, but you can't deny what I am saying here is true if you'll give it some thought.

Good points!

Thank you. I appreciate it.

He even intercedes on behalf of Congressmen that are consumate abortion supporters against organizations trying to end abortions in this nation.

I disagree with McCain-Feingold, but that was what this was about, NOT about abortion rights. His principle about free speech was wrong, but to abandon it because of a specific issue would also be wrong.

Anyway, your list is impressive, although I'm not sure why we are supposed to fault John McCain for voting for a supreme court nominee that was nominated by Ronald Reagan, unless you think RR was some RINO.

[DoughtyOne]

Charles, the best of Presidents have staff members that aren’t up to par. Perhaps Reagan should have known better with regard to Kennedy, but that’s where the Senate comes in.

They are given the review process for a reason. I will admit to Kennedy being somewhat of a gray area, because I haven’t studied his history. The fact of the matter is, John McCain voted to affirm four of the five worst sitting SCOTUS justices today.

If Kennedy were the only one John had voted for, I grant your arguement makes a lot of sense. Him voting for Ginsberg, Breyer, and Souter on top of Kennedy opens him up to ridicule for voting for all of them.

As for John remaining faithful to McCain/Feingold, he had no stake in the court battle where he filed an amicus brief.

His bill had passed, as I understand it, and he had no call to enter into this case at all.

Just because a person passes some legislation, they aren’t obligated to file an amicus brief for any case that involves it. And John choice of this case to interject his opinion on is disturbing.

Why would he chose to file an arguement against a Right to Life anti abortion organizion? What was the impetus? He could have looked the other way. There was no call for him to be involved that I know if.

If you can provide a reason, perhaps I’ll revise my opinion on it.
