McCain’s stance on the WAR as far as I can tell is: stay in it to win it.
“…the promise of withdrawal of our forces regardless of the consequences would constitute a failure of political and moral leadership.” -John McCain, Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Listen buddy, the war was started illegally. It should never have happened. America was not prepared for the war from day one. It’s a big fat mess. America messed up. Period. Admit this massive mistake done by our government, bring home combat forces, ask for UN peace keeping help and begin to mend both countries best we can. That should be the plan. Did we learn nothing from Vietnam? The sooner we admit our mistakes, the less out of control it becomes. You of all people, being a POW for 5 1/2 years, should know.
“By ignorance we mistake, and by mistakes we learn.”
McCain’s stance on ABORTION is unforgivable:
“I do not support Roe vs Wade. It should be overturned”-John McCain, Sun., Feb. 18, 2007
“He voted against family planning, he voted against the freedom of access to clinic entrances — that was about violence against women in clinics,” Keenan says, adding, “He voted against funding for teen pregnancy-prevention programs, and making sure that abstinence only was medically accurate. This is very, very extreme.” – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America
To break it down for you, he does not believe in abortion yet he does not support educating kids on pregnancy-prevention. This is a big problem. He does not believe schools should teach teenagers how to use contraceptives, he only wants them to be taught prevention by abstinence. He does not believe insurance should cover birth control. Yet, he does not support programs like Planned Parenthood.
To be fair, I must include that he would support exceptions to a ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is in danger.
I’ve run out of time to ridicule any more of McCain’s other ridiculous political beliefs, but have no fear, another McCain bashing will follow soon enough…
