The Real McCain
Want to know more about John McCains record on the major issues? Mark Levin has pieced together a nice summary of his record. Its very easy to see that he tends to team up with the liberals, such as Lieberman, Kennedy, Edwards and Feingold. In summary, his voting record shows that he wants to stifle free speech, regulate and tax industry (which will ultimately lower the Federal Governments tax revenues by hurting economic growth), give trial lawyers (and not patients) more rights, and provide amnesty AND Social Security benefits to illegal aliens. He also opposed the Bush Tax Cuts of 2001 and 2003 (although now he campaigns on the platform of making them permanent).
His supporters say that he is ‘great on national security’. But his domestic policy is not so great: McCain wants to close down Guantanamo Bay, which would bring unlawful enemy combatants (terrorists, who never signed the Geneva Convention) into the United States, giving them Constitutional Rights.
And if this weren’t enough, the New York Times (a very left leaning newspaper) has endorsed John McCain.
