Typical smears from the Liberal Elite Bias Media. John McCain has LOTS of experience with women, and if you’re looking for women’s issues, John McCain has got TONS of issues! John McCain will win when voters go to the polls in January. Never surrender!

Roe v Wade, which has been chipped away for so long it barely even exists anymore, is not the only women’s issue out there, and it’s not the only one McCain is terrible on. He’s also against fair-pay legislation, he’s against rethinking “don’t ask don’t tell,” he has no problem with public schools teaching creationism, he opposes restrictions on assault weapons and background checks at gun shows, he seems to think “free-market competition” will reform our health care system…
He has an anti-public health voting record, an anti-union voting record, an anti-energy-independence voting record, a weak public-education voting record, an anti-affirmative-action voting record, a weak record on senior citizen issues, and a weak voting record on church-and-state separation.
He doesn’t even have a very good business and taxation voting record.

Just asking, but do you think that you or your children and grandchildren will feel comfortable in an America of 500 million, 1 billion, maybe 2 billion people? Don’t think it will go that high? Just do some simple calculus, with a growth rate of 1-2% per year (which will be the low end of growth if immigration is not curtailed). See how soon it will take.

Wait, aren’t you the same people who keep screaming that Social Security is doomed and we have to privatize it because we don’t have a large enough working population to support all of the Baby Boomers in their declining years? So how can we simultaneously have a too-small and a too-big population?

I’ve started calling Sen. McCain “McBush” because of his misogynist record.

We need to emphasize this message as much as possible and as often as possible. It's not just about Roe V. Wade either, he's got a bad track record for legislation for women's and children's health as well.

He’s a creep.
That said, he’s also a humongous flip-flopper and opportunist. That should be especially interesting given that the accusation of *flip-flopping* was a major factor in killing Kerry’s chances. A few years back, Mccain called evangelicals the greatest threat to America – or similar words. Later on, he secure their support to run. War, torture, choice, gay marriage, all subjects in which he changed his tune according to political convenience. Nice example of such.

Thank you so much for this post. We need more like these to expose how non ‘moderate’ he actually is! Much appreciated, I love your blog!

McCain opposes birth control…because he’s worried about overpopulation? Makes sense. *nodnod*

P.S: “calculus” != “calculations”…

Though that *does* make me want to talk about integration and immigration… maybe Daniel is secretly brilliant, and intended for that clever play on integers when he posted?

McCain “anti-immigrant”? Would it be that he were. McCain and Bush have been the 2 most pro-immigrant politicians of the past 20 years. McCain teamed with Kennedy to get the Senate to pass last year’s comphrehensive immigration reform bill through the senate. A bill that Bush promised to sign. A bill that would have effectively amnestied every illeagal alien in the country, even those who arrived 10 minutes ago. A bill, furthermore, that would have brought in 50 million additionall immigrants over the next 20 years, with no real end of immigration in sight, ever. McCain has vowed to make passage of this bill his number 1 priority if he is elected.

What other facts and analysis are you sloppy with?

Last week, NPR’s All Things Considered had a piece where they introduced McCain as the “maverick Senator McCain” – disgusting! Needless to say, I wrote in a complaint.
