Some wag wanted to make sure that as we, the media, build Sen. John McCain up, we also tear him down.
In that vein, here's a clip of McCain actually saying what that oppo floating around has him saying.
Again, it's one thing to read it, it's another thing to see it and hear it.
BTW: Is this the first YouTube war between different candidates' supporters?
MCCAIN:
“But we all know, and it's obvious, that if we repeal Roe v. Wade tomorrow, thousands of young American women would be performing illegal and dangerous operations. I want us to be a party of inclusion. I think that we can all be members of the Republican party whether we are pro-choice or pro-life because we share the same goal and that is the elimination of abortion. Because it is an unpleasant and terrible procedure. We think -- I think that we must go back to the party platform of 1980 and '84. We include people who have specific disagreements who share our same goals.”

Except for his position on embryonic stem cell research.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, on Thursday while campaigning in Florida said he continues to support human embryonic stem cell research, the Washington Post reports. When asked whether recent advances in nonembryonic stem cell research would change his stance, McCain replied, "I have not changed my position yet" (Milbank, Washington Post, 1/25).MedicalNewsToday article
New advances in that field will change his mind
Uh ? No one can air ads 30 days for an election CFR bill signed by bush
Uh ? No one can air ads 30 days before an election CFR bill signed by bush and a bill which needs more work done on it and i supported.
I believe you stated your husband is a Marine. How does he feel about McCain’s stance on closing Guantanamo?
“YouTube is hitting both McCain and Romney today.”
after seeing the McCain video I looked at this.

McCain’s video seemed to cut out right in the middle of a response in a debate, I wish I could hear the beginning of his response so I knew the context.
By the way, areafiftyone was banned earlier this year. Why did you drag out this old thread? Or more importantly, as a newbie, how did you even find it?
Who co-sponsored the bill?
No less than your hero, the one and only John Mc Cain.
The Republican nomination is the closest he will ever get to being elected President.
The main stream media are now wheting their knives in anticipatin of that.
Maybe, maybe not. His longstanding position on ESC research, though, is something that a great many people wouldn't consider 'consistently pro-life' as you described him. (IIRC, he also supports federal funding for the research but I don't have a cite for that.)
Sen. McCain received the following scores on NARAL Pro‐Choice AmericaÂ’s Congressional Record on Choice:
2006: 0 percent
2005: 0 percent
2004: 0 percent
2003: 0 percent
2002: 0 percent
2001: Because only one choice‐related vote was taken in 2001 – to confirm John Ashcroft as United States Attorney General – no numerical score was given for the year. Sen. McCain voted anti‐choice.
2000: 0 percent
1999: 0 percent
1998: 10 percent
1997: 5 percent
1996: 0 percent
1995: 0 percent

1992: 10 percent
1991: 0 percent
1990: 0 percent
1989: No numerical scores were given this year; of the two choice‐related votes taken in 1989, Sen. McCain voted anti‐choice on both.

1987: No numerical scores were given this year; of the two choice‐related votes taken in 1987, Sen. McCain voted anti‐choice on both.
i smell a troll, opening a thread that was a year old posted by a banned freeper.
Some posters are hitting a new low. They're starting to act like liberal sheep. They believe everything they hear and too lazy to seek the truth.
