As a religious right group, tell me how you defend these. If you are brave enough.<BR/><BR/>just to name a few, I could list more.......<BR/><BR/> The Children’s Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children’s health care bill last year, then defended Bush’s veto of the bill<BR/><BR/>McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but has since decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks. (Indeed, McCain has now hired Falwell’s debate coach.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.<BR/><BR/>He’s one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a “second job” and skip their vacations<BR/><BR/> He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year<BR/><BR/>In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.<BR/><BR/>McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.<BR/><BR/>McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist<BR/><BR/>McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.<BR/><BR/>McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a couple of years ago.<BR/><BR/>McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.<BR/><BR/>McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.<BR/><BR/>McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.<BR/><BR/>John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has “evolved,” yet he’s continued to oppose key civil rights laws<BR/><BR/>And now he’s both for and against overturning Roe v. Wade.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242002866704881680noreply@blogger.com
