For Sale: McCain 2008
Senator John McCain continues to shift his positions in anticipation of his run for the GOP 2008 presidential nomination. Think Progress has the video of McCain’s appearance this morning on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. In this particular appearance, McCain argues for the overturning of Roe v. Wade in order to give states the right to determine how they prefer to handle a woman’s right to choose. The subtle shift allows McCain to appeal to those conservatives who oppose abortion.
I view his actions to be similar to the George Bush equation for gaining and holding power.
If that observation is correct, then McCain, like so many others who seek power, is for sale. That’s unfortunate.
