Reasons Not to Vote for McCain

Here are several reasons why social conservatives should not vote for John McCain.

1. He is not strongly pro-life. Here is a quote from his website. I added the bold.

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.

So in other words, he is not in favor of a Right to Life Amendment. If California and NY and New Mexico want to keep killing babies, well he feels that is their right. To me this is not good enough.

2. He is for embryonic stem cell research. Here is a quote from LifeNews.com.

"It's very tough for those of us in the pro-life community," McCain told reporters. "I've come down on the side of support for embryonic stem cell research."

McCain told an audience that, after deep prayer and reflection on the issue, he decided to support the controversial science because of its potential to end diseases.

However, pro-life advocates point out that embryonic stem cell research has yet to cure any patients and has no therapies that are even in the trial stage. That's because it has had a host of problems in animals, such as immune system rejection issues.

On the other hand, the use of adult stem cells has already helped patients with more than 70 different diseases and conditions.

Embryonic stem cell research is not only going no where, but I believe it opens the doors to creating test tube babies solely for the purpose of destroying them.

3. He is at best a moderate on gay rights and at worst a liberal flip flopper. It seems that he is a federalist (states decide) on civil unions, but is against gay marriage. Or maybe he is for gay marriage after all if it is only a ceremony?


4. He doesn't have control of his tongue or temper. The internet is abuzz with the fact that Sen. McCain said, "I hate the gooks." Here is a quote from www.ktracy.com

When John McCain called his captors “Gooks” yesterday to the press, he may have meant to direct the comment to those individuals, but he offended millions of Asians across the board in the process. What would have happened if McCain were elected President and this had happened? Would he have apologize if the leaders of China, Japan, Vietnam, North Korea, and South Korea all demanded an apology? Afterall, Japan and South Korea are valuable US allies, but at the same time, our relations with China and Vietnam are lukewarm at best and we’re still technically at war with North Korea.

While John McCain’s experiences make him a great American hero, when it comes to foreign policy, I honestly believe he’s too short tempered and stubborn to be President. This incident only further piles on to the stack of evidence we have making that case against him.

I'll leave it to you to google McCain temper where I think you will find plenty of evidence.



In this Republican race to the White House, you are left with a flip flopping liar (Romney, see the video below), a social moderate with a temper (McCain, see above), or a social conservative that is great on lots of other issues too (Huckabee). I encourage everyone to vote for Huckabee on Feb. 5th or March 4th or whenever your primaries are.
