McCain: I'd Spy on Americans Secretly, Too | Threat Level from Wired.com
The continued popularity or John McCain is somewhat astonishing to me. Exactly how do you support a politician that doesn't have a position on anything. I guess you go by his voting record. In that case John McCain is not a centrist.
In any case he has decided that it's entirely OK for the President to wiretap American citizens on American soil without a warrant. Of course, earlier when that was controversial and before he was the Republican nominee, he opposed it.
Now that he's wooing the right, he favors it again. As with most of Bush's policies, McCain disavows them when necessary, but supports them regardless.
I was reading today that some of Clinton's angry, and in my opinion stupid, supporters have started a new organization to support McCain. How is that possible? How can democrats support this man? Can they really be so bitter about Clinton that they would punish the whole country?
McCain will lead us down a dark and unsteady path. The rich will continue to get richer, our enemies will continue to get stronger, gays and lesbians will be persecuted, roe vs wade will almost surely be overturned. How can democrats support this man?
McCain's new position plainly contradicts statements he made in a December 20, 2007 interview with the Boston Globe where he implicitly criticized Bush's five-year secret end-run around the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
"I think that presidents have the obligation to obey and enforce laws that are passed by Congress and signed into law by the president, no matter what the situation is," McCain said.
