McCain VP Pick Delivers Hard-hitting First Speech, Calling for End to "Politics as Usual"
Politicians, she said, should serve with "servants' hearts"
By John Jalsevac

DAYTON, Ohio, August 29, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - While Democrats and critics of John McCain began issuing criticisms of the Republican presidential hopeful's VP pick for her status as a relative political neophyte, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin this afternoon delivered a confident and hard-hitting acceptance speech before a crowd of some 15,000 at a campaign stop in Dayton Ohio.

The young, attractive Governor from California was clearly well-received by McCain's supporters, receiving a sustained standing ovation at one point, and eliciting laughter at several other points in her remarks.

Palin's speech, as well as McCain's introduction of Palin, carried unmistakable echoes of the morally-charged rhetoric of Barack Obama in favor of change, particularly in support of reforming the way politics is conducted in Washington, moving away from serving special interests and taking political power out of the hands of the usual suspects.

"The Pledge of Allegiance" - by Senator John McCain.

As you may know, I spent five and one half years as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. In the early years of our imprisonment, the NVA kept us in solitary confinement or two or three to a cell. In 1971 the NVA moved us from these conditions of isolation into large rooms with as many as 30 to 40 men to a room.

This was, as you can imagine, a wonderful change and was a direct result of the efforts of millions of Americans on behalf of a few hundred POWs 10,000 miles from home. One of the men who moved into my room was a young man named Mike Christian. Mike came from a small town near Selma, Alabama. He didn't have a pair of shoes until he was 13 years old. At 17 , he enlisted in the US Navy. He later earned a commission by going to Officer Training School Then he became a Naval Flight Officer and was shot down and captured in 1967. Mike had a keen and deep appreciation of the opportunities this country and our military provide for people who want to work and want to succeed.

McCain: "No, I don't Believe in Gay Adoption"
By John-Henry Westen

WASHINGTON, July 14, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an interview with the New York Times conducted Friday and published yesterday, US Presidential candidate Senator John McCain said openly that he is opposed to adoption by homosexual couples. 

Asked: "President Bush believes that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt children. Do you agree with that?" McCain replied: "I think that we've proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don't believe in gay adoption."

Overturning Roe v. Wade

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.

From the MIA Facts.org website:
Whence the Attacks on John McCain?
April 2007

Summary. For some years now there have been steady attacks on the valor and patriotism of Senator John McCain (Republican, Arizona). McCain was a Navy aviator, shot down over North Vietnam on 26 October 1967 and released at Operation Homecoming in March 1973. He was severely injured in his ejection and landing and endured unspeakable tortures. The attacks on McCain originate almost entirely from Vietnam veterans and many of his attackers accuse him of collaborating with his Vietnamese captors, in spite of testimony from other POWs as to his bravery, leadership, and valorous conduct ...

McCain: Homosexuality not a 'defect' or 'sin'
David Edwards
November 20, 2006

During an interview on Sunday, Senator John McCain (Az-Rep) said that homosexuality was not a "defect" or a "sin," but emphasized that he didn't think same sex marriage should be legal.

The possible 2008 GOP presidential contender drew the line at civil unions for gay and lesbians, but said that he thought they should have the right to enter into legal agreements.

"I do not believe gay marriage should be legal," McCain repeated. "I do not believe gay marriage should be legal."

"But I do believe that people ought to be able to enter into contracts, exchange powers of attorney, other ways that people [who] have relationships can enter into," McCain continued.

McCain also said that while he didn't "believe we should discriminate against anyone in the workplace," he didn't "think we need specific laws that would apply necessarily to people who are gay."

McCain has been criticized by many for "flip-flopping" on issues related to gay rights and abortion.

"In 1999, the 'moderate' version of John McCain said that overturning Roe v. Wade would be dangerous for women and he would not support it, even in 'the long term,'" the liberal blog Think Progress noted. "This morning on ABC, McCain — now aggressively courting the likes of Jerry Falwell — expressed his unequivocal support for overturning Roe v. Wade."
