McCain keeps dragging those blastocysts into the ring

McCain takes another big draft of KoolAid, and comes out in favor of forced pregnancy, once again:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain, looking to improve his standing with the party's conservative voters, said Sunday the court decision that legalized abortion should be overturned.

Nice to see the pandering to the base aspect right there in the lead, eh?

"I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned," the Arizona senator told about 800 people in South Carolina, one of the early voting states.

Of course, Saint John [genuflects] has been all over the map on this, so I guess it really is news that he said the same thing twice. Will it help him?

Naah.

McCain is trying to build support among conservatives after a recent rebuke from Christian leader James Dobson, who said he wouldn't back McCain's presidential bid. Conservatives question McCain's opposition to a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. He opposes same-sex marriage, but says it should be regulated by the states.

The base wants McCain to go a little farther than kneeling...

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
