2007/02/17 McCain states he will close Guantanamo Bay terrorist detainment center on his first day in office  Video  (same as date link on the left)  (Video removed from YouTube, but quote remains on this site.)
2007/06/18 McCain's Gitmo problem, close the base, grant some Geneva Convention status reserved for lawful combatants, stop water boarding...

The problem with McCain is that over time he has been on both sides of just about every issue.  Claiming to be strong on the Second Amendment, he was still able to muster support for some anti-gun legislation.  Claiming to be anti-abortion, he still came out strongly for a person who was a devout pro-abortion activist.  Claiming to hate the Supreme Court decision, he still found it reasoned to move Gitmo prisoners to U.S. soil.

So just how outraged was McCain at the Supreme Court ruling?  Once the Gitmo prisoners were moved to U.S. soil, it would take very little time before they would demand and get access to our courts.  You mentioned his criticism of the Supreme Court ruling.  You don't seem to understand that his stance on closing Gitmo was going to facilitate the very thing he was loudly objecting to.

He stated he would close Gitmo on day one.  That means that every prisoner at Gitmo would have to be transferred on day one.  The guy just didn't think things through.

On day two of his administration about 380 suits would have been filed to demand access to our courts.  And on day three they would have gotten it.

And on day four you would have been stating how rotten it was of the Supreme Court, and how John McCain was a stand up guy for opposing it.

John has had the proclivity to be a useful idiot for close to thirty years in Congress and the Senate.

You sent me to a video that has been shut down. If you want to prove your point you might at least send me to a working link.

I did my own digging and found this:

Democrats still have an unlikely ally in their fight to close the Guantanamo prison: 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain (Ariz.).

McCain said Wednesday that his longstanding belief that the prison should close has not changed, only that a plan is needed first.

"You have to have a comprehensive policy for the detainees," McCain said. "But there is a PR problem -- the image in the world, what it symbolizes in the world."

Inhofe said as far as he knows, McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are the only Republicans in the Senate who favor closing Guantanamo.

Did you read the link I sent that McCain doesn't want them here or tried in our courts? Your lopsided view about every thing McCain with no derogatory comments about the Muslim is revealing.

Our debate started because you posted a snarky remark about ( All those folks who voted for McCain last year. Have we had enough of the RINOs yet?)

As if we,voters for McCain were beneath you and dumb, in other words we should have voted for THE ONE.

That's 57,168,270 or 46% of 2008 voters you just flipped off as having no sense.

Again, you have not answered my simple question. I asked you a question based on your own statement. Will you be comfortable with losing thousands of our citizens as long as it is not in our name?

If and when another terrorist attack happens in our country,killing innocent people it will be obama's fault, not John McCain's.
