McCain Chastises B.O.; Gets Chastised by AP
2008-05-06
Republican John McCain castigated Democrat Barack Obama for voting against John Roberts as Supreme Court chief justice in a speech about the kind of judges McCain would nominate. McCain promised to appoint judges who, in the mold of Roberts and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, are likely to limit the reach of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
Which, as we all know, is the only thing that matters about judges.
"They would serve as the model for my own nominees if that responsibility falls to me," McCain said in his prepared speech.

McCain offered an olive branch strike 1 to the Christian right in a speech planned for Tuesday at Wake Forest University. The far right has been deeply suspicious but that not a bad thing of McCain, the expected GOP presidential nominee, because he has clashed with its leaders and worked against them on issues like campaign finance reform.

#1  "He [McCain] voted to require parental consent for abortion and voted to criminalize anyone but a parent crossing state lines with a minor to help get an abortion."

BTW, Senator Obama sided with a small minority of Senators and voted against those two measures. Even though the vast majority of the American electorate (Of all political affiliations.) strongly agreed with the laws he aligned himself with the Babs Boxer crowd. They believe that this kind of parental involvement in their minor children’s decisions to have an abortion “restrict a woman’s right to choose”. Apparently, it was more important for Obama to maintain his street cred with Planned Parenthood rather then to vote for these Bi-Partisan no-brainers. Not exactly the kind of “new politics” he’s been telling everyone about is it?
