McCain's transition to the Dark Side is complete

Ugh:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask one question about abortion. Then I want to turn to Iraq. You’re for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, with some exceptions for life and rape and incest.

MCCAIN: Rape, incest and the life of the mother. Yes.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So is President Bush, yet that hasn’t advanced in the six years he’s been in office. What are you going to do to advance a constitutional amendment that President Bush hasn’t done?

MCCAIN: I don’t think a constitutional amendment is probably going to take place, but I do believe that it’s very likely or possible that the Supreme Court should — could overturn Roe v. Wade, which would then return these decisions to the states, which I support.

STEPHANOPOULOS: And you’d be for that?

MCCAIN: Yes, because I’m a federalist. Just as I believe that the issue of gay marriage should be decided by the states, so do I believe that we would be better off by having Roe v. Wade return to the states. And I don’t believe the Supreme Court should be legislating in the way that they did on Roe v. Wade.

McCain used to be a guy who spoke up for Roe. But I guess being a desperate Presidential candidate who will sell his soul to Satan (or Jerry Falwell--a redundancy to be sure) means never having to maintain some sort of credibility.

I get that to some degree, anyone who is working toward the US Presidency is a whore. There isn't any way to get there unless one greases the path with lots of promises and glad-handing. But I simply can't abide the blatant way McCain has tarted himself up to show all the thigh he can to the Falwell set.

McCain obviously believes that the road to the White House is paved through the Christian conservative coffers and voter base. This is despite evidence to the contrary.

It appears like nothing more than an overt attempt to get to power no matter what. I can't stand it. Its the same reason I have no intention of voting for Hillary Clinton--from watching her I believe she'd do ANYTHING to become President.

I want nothing to do with either of them.
