McCain driving that wedge ever deeper…..

Is John McCain poised to take yet another foolish jaunt to the left in his campaign to win the Presidency of the United States? He has of late been heading by some accounts to the center and by other accounts to the left of center in order to capture some of the Democrats more socially liberal supporters and liberal Independents by sticking his finger in conservatives other eye. ABCNews.com is reporting that he may be contemplating moving the party in that direction by disregarding the party platform on abortion and softening the party years long stance to allow for abortions to account for exceptions such as rape, incest or risk to the mother's life, a position thought to be more acceptable to moderates and liberals but opposed by Christians and social conservatives alike.

Just the other day McCain was reported planning on attending the annual conference of the racist LaRaza (LaRaza translates into 'The Race') on July 14, 2008 and that he is intending to resurrect the failed “comprehensive immigration reform” (aka shamnesty) bill in some form when he is elected. He says he believes that America won’t survive without giving 20-40 million illegal aliens amnesty and opening up all of Americas social welfare programs and its residual benefits to these people. I can only roll my eyes and wonder just who is going to pay for all of that give away pork and what of the 60+ million baby boomers retirements.

I must ask, can we afford McCain and his socially liberal grandiose dreams of amnesty for 20-40 million welfare recipients and certain ruination for America and its legitimate citizenry?! And he is supposed to be a conservative according to the Republican Party apparatus. Seems to show just how out of touch with American reality they have become.

McCain Poised to Flip on GOP Abortion Platform
In '00 and '07, McCain Called for Exceptions in GOP's Platform on Abortion for Rape, Incest, Mother's Life

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., faces enormous pressure from social conservatives to ignore his repeated commitment to change the GOP's platform on abortion.
"If he were to change the party platform," to account for exceptions such as rape, incest or risk to the mother's life, "I think that would be political suicide," said Tony Perkins, the president of the conservative Family Research Council, to ABC News. "I think he would be aborting his own campaign because that is such a critical issue to so many Republican voters and the Republican brand is already in trouble."
A senior Republican close to McCain told ABC News that building a more inclusive GOP is a top priority for the Arizona senator.
But this adviser does not see changing the party platform to include exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother as necessary for achieving that vision.
