Former presidential nominee John McCain is urging Republicans to confine their support for the unborn to rhetoric but abandon thoughts of enacting new legislation.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday over the weekend, the Arizona senator said the GOP needs “a bigger tent” to be successful in presidential elections, and part of that means dropping social issues important to conservatives.
Echoing the talking point that men should not weigh in on a female issue McCain said, “I don’t think anybody like me —” then pointed to himself before changing gears abruptly. “I can state my position on abortion, but other than that, leave the issue alone, when we are in the kind of economic situation and, frankly, national security situation we’re in.”

RO to McCain: My position is for you to shut the hell up.
we must keep sacrificing our progeny to molech, the economy sucks and the middle east is about to blow....
you freaking putzes didn’t do squat about stopping abrtion when times were good and you had the power. don’t give me this crap john, i ain’t buying it and nobody else is either.
NO WAY IN HELL!!!!
Him and Rmney etc
The problem is the party and the base did turn out and vote.
It just encourages more of this crap
I saw him say this.
McCain has a new book coming out: An Excuse For All Seasons.
Another sit down and SHUT UP moment from Mr. bi-partisan.
Dear John,
f*** you.
Love,
L.
How is it a "female issue" when roughly 50% of those being aborted are male?!?!
McCain, state your position and go away.
McCain, go back to Hanoi!
McCain doesn’t have any principles, so he has difficulty understanding anyone who does. He also doesn’t understand that the problems he regards as important won’t be affected by him, one way or the other. McCain is to the economy as a blowfly is to sun spots. The same goes for national security. He is irrelevant. So there McCain, state your opinion, and then go find some geriatric hobby that will keep you out of the way.
Hanoi John running at the mouth again...playing his “(Bleep) The Base” BS garbage
These RINO PhonyCons need to go
That’s the way to bring the Catholics in.
Its kinda depressing when the last two GOP presidential races have resulted in our nominees being liberal democrats.
Hey McCain,
Do your job.
Give the issue back to the states like it was, and then 'leave the issue alone'.
I'm beginning to think illegal immigration is God's way of replacing a population that has abandoned Him. They have produced children while we have sacrificed our future generations on the alter of sexual gratification.
Every time you say, "we need to be more inclusive", you follow it with a silent "and you need to shut up or leave".
Big tents don't stand well if you kick out all the main supports.
The GOP needs leaders to win presidential elections. McCain, you are not a leader and never will be. Go back to kissing Harry Reid’s @ss.
Little Meghan must be giving Daddy hell and we sure do want a tent big enough to include her, now don’t we!
McCain and shallow people like him think we can just ignore abortion, and tend to “more important” issues.
They are wrong. Legal abortion means that both the Declaration and Constitution are DEAD, and the country will consequently collapse.
I am all for bigger tents. However, we need to not have our center pole be the abortion issue - many poeple, especially women, do not vote for a candidate based on how they view abortion. IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID! Make the economy/fiscal responsibility the center pole and you get more votes. IMO, Romeny should have been pounding this into the heads of every American. Every single ad should have been on fiscal responsibility and how the govt is so out of touch with how households are managed. Until the right does that, they will continue to lose to a bunch of idiots who say what needs to be said to win an election.
A pity McStain wasn’t left behind in Hanoi.
“State your position, then ‘leave the issue alone’”.
How ‘bout REPRESENTING your constituents—ya know—those that pay your salary? I’d wager the majority of us don’t wish to SUBSIDIZE others sins. Pay for your own control or keep your legs closed (very cheap alternative.)
Wonder how many abortions his spawn has gotten over her lifetime.
Keep putting your energies into the GOP and keep going nowhere.
It is not a conservative party and regards the rank and file who are as abject fools.
McCain must have never been a fetus.
That double yellow line can be a lonely place can’t it, Johnnie?
RINO’s only gain a spine when they are attacking conservatives and their principles. With liberals, they turn to jellyfish.
This is precisely why they can never be relied upon when the rubber meets the road.
John McCain is a Democrat.
Not the first time McCain has betrayed the weak and defenseless.
Back in the days, he agreed to chair the POW-MIA committee, and used his POW creds to betray his fellow POWs in return for political power and profit.
Every now and then McCain says something I like but mostly he just irritates the heck out of me.
confine their support for the unborn to rhetoric but abandon thoughts of enacting new legislation.”
Faith w/o works is dead.

useless puke...
FYI __ PING: “ - - - and part of that means dropping social issues important to conservatives. - - - “
Maybe this should say NO WAY IN HEAVEN! I feel that Jesus weeps daily as he sees another little life snuffed out because someone doesn’t want to be “punished” with a baby.
As much as I detest zero, I’m almost glad McCain didn’t get the win. Who does he think he is telling us to leave this issue alone?
McCain just go away.
Please.
Shut up if you can’t go away.
Another illustration of an undeniable truth: There is no further point to the Republican party. Probably, too, there is very little hope for the country as a whole because it is more likely that the USA will implode than that a principled conservative party will emerge any time in the foreseeable future.
John, you’re assuming two things: First, that the folks who believe that will be satisfied to leave it at that. Second, even if they are, that the people who are against them will let them leave it at that.
You know what happens when you assume, don’t you?
We dodged a bullet when he lost the election.
You see what McCain really is - wait until you find out what Romney really is.
Next time we'll get even a more liberal candidate which is probably Jeb Bush and most on this forum will vote for him and trash those who don't. There will never be another conservative president.
Prepping is the only answer to life in the near and distant future. I am concentrating on that since liberals own this country from now on. My personal world will be okay due to preps - I don't know what the rest of the world will be.
Hmmm, seems that Mitt made the economy the central issue of his campaign, and we all know how that turned out. The leftists voted on social issues and ignorance of how our government works. The stupids think that zero has the power to do anything he wants or campaigns on. If he had his way - he would - and he still might before the end of his second term.
Oh Lord, how it pains me to write those words - second term. Ugh! It sounds like an eternity.
And what better expert at being "successful in presidential elections" could we have than John McCain?
Heil Hitler, Mr.Senile McInsane! No one is going to click their heels and salute you, IDIOT!!

I think he’s saying; Be pro-life, vote pro-life, just don’t campaign on the issue and make yourself a target.
That’s probably not bad advice. There are a lot of ways to run as a conservative, and your base will know where you stand.
I've been here about as long as you, and get hammered every election cycle because I won't vote for the GOP liberal.
Rule #1. Don't kill babies. Don't support it, don't look the other way.
How hard is that?
We might get another conservative president, but I'm the eternal optimist. I'm certainly not putting any cash on that bet.
