- ImagineWP, on 10/06/2008, -1/+39John McCain is pro-life until it comes to protecting the lives of doctors and nurses.
- BlueDjinn, on 10/06/2008, -0/+31He really is one sick puppy.
- dansmith17, on 10/06/2008, -0/+30sick,
Obama is bad because he meets someone who was active when Obama was 8! but McCain is active in support of these terrorists and that is OK? - arnold23, on 10/06/2008, -0/+28As Jed Lewison reports further: "McCain was one of a distinct minority of radical "pro-life" senators. A number of senators who opposed abortion nonetheless voted for the legislation because they thought it would protect women and their doctors. It was only the extremists who opposed the bill -- and McCain was one of them.
One important detail about this legislation is that it was a standalone bill. In other words, McCain was opposed to this particular policy; he can't say that he opposed the bill for some unrelated reason" - lesserdevil, on 10/06/2008, -0/+25@davemahler The bill wasn't about making murder and bombing illegal. It redefined the entire matter of violent anti-abortion actions, by outlawing blockades as one example. The bill was widely supported.
Cost taxpayers to implement the bill? You mean like $700 billion?
Seriously... there was no reason not to vote for it unless you sympathized with anti-abortion extremists. - rock2casbah, on 10/06/2008, -0/+17You don't get to call yourself "Pro-Life" when you condone arson, bombings, and killings of doctors, women, and clinic workers.
More like anti-choice terrorists. - artguyko, on 10/06/2008, -0/+17JM: Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb at home
his friend G Gordon liddy: Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Brookings - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -2/+16Why does John McCain support Domestic Terrorism?
John McCain is an anti-American coward. - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+12The US government isn't trying to eliminate terrorism, it's trying to monopolize it.
- Echota, on 01/05/2009, -0/+8McCains' VP choice is Anti America!
They're both traitors!
Proof!! Sarah Palin Was Member Of AIP!
This is an Alaska Independence Party meeting,a radical group that wanted Alaska to secede from The United States.
Sarah and Todd Palin were both members
She claimed she never was, but the AIP says otherwise in this video.
(About 6 or 7 minutes into the video you will finally hear the truth about Palin and the AIP)
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Proof_Palin_Lied ... - meese, on 10/06/2008, -1/+6The bill successfully decreased violence and protected women. Are you saying McCain thinks that's a bad thing?
- LaceKing, on 10/06/2008, -1/+6or those who aren't Christians.
- LaceKing, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5or those who aren't born into families who don't have the means to support them.
- charm803, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5or those who serve in the military.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+6In McCain's world, white people can't be terrorists.
- meese, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3I don't see where it gives the reason McCain opposed the bill.
- Easty, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3What's the song on this video?
- moondancing, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3This old man is trying to drag our country into the sewer. Don't let him.
- codairem, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3davemahler, looks to me like you like McCain alright.
- kushalone, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3but they are already born ... he wants America to "move on" ...
- theone156, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2Isn't Bill Ayers white?
- charm803, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2According to McCain, yes-
He needs people to keep dying in order to have some sort of "bar" to measure in case one day he decides to send in a surge to protect these doctors.
He is NOT pro-life-he's an *****. - yesyoucant, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2So I guess blowing ***** up doesn't count. Thanks for clearing it all up.
- charm803, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2Free speech does not equal killing people.
Your right ends when it hurts someone else. - elwior, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2 McCain = Bush (only worse!)
- johnnr2, on 10/07/2008, -0/+1much worse! Palin = worst.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+2Yep, but he's only a terrorist because McWorse's black opponent is (allegedly) "palling around" with him. The REAL terrorist is that scary black dude.
- RedMistMedia, on 10/07/2008, -0/+0Tonigts debate will be interesting! The gloves will be off.
- davemahler, on 10/06/2008, -15/+3It is already illegal to kill people. Maybe he voted no because the bill was not needed and it may cost taxpayers more to implement the bill. I don't like John McCain but I don't count this against him.
- bbjohnnyt, on 10/06/2008, -14/+1Leftists are such hypocrites. They claim to be supportive of free speech and "tolerance". In reality, it's tolerance for only those that agree with them. The real reason McCain and others (including dems) voted against this legislation because the bill allows abortion-clinic employees and clients to sue protesters in Federal court for damages stemming from violations of the law, and empowers Federal judges to enjoin protesters and fine those who violate an injunction.
Hypocrites, here's the reason why McCain and others voted against the bill (source, NYT, 5/13/1994)...
Opponents of the legislation approved today argued that the Congress was all but depriving the anti-abortion movement of that option by targeting its members for punishment far more severe than the $100 fines and overnight jail stays that such acts frequently carry. Targeting Thought?
"This nation has a history of tolerance for nonviolent civil disobedience." said Senator Don Nickles, Republican of Oklahoma. "We have always recognized the close association between peaceful civil disobedience and political speech, which is clearly one of the most highly protected rights within our Constitution. All groups that engage in peaceful sit-ins and similar activity should be treated in an evenhanded manner, regardless of the motivation of those engaged in this conduct. But this bill does not do that."
Rather, he charged, "The real target is thought, not behavior."
