What kind of HEARTLESS MONSTER is John McCain?!

[ck4829]

Earlier this month, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) took an extreme position on gay adoption, telling the New York Times he believes in “traditional” families even if it means leaving children in orphanages. “I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don’t believe in gay adoption,” he said.

But in follow-up statement, McCain aide Jill Hazelbaker backtracked, stating, “McCain could have been clearer.” She added that the senator would support gay adoption if there were no alternative:

However, as an adoptive father himself…he recognizes that there are many abandoned children who have yet to find homes. McCain believes that in those situations that caring parental figures are better for the child than the alternative.

Interviewed on ABC today, however, McCain reverted to his original radical position, telling George Stephanopolous that he does not support gay adoption in any circumstance:

McCAIN: I think that family values are important, when we have two parent — families that are of parents that are the traditional family.

Q: But there are several hundred thousand children in the country who don’t have a home. And if a gay couple wants to adopt them, what’s wrong with that?

MCCAIN: I am for the values that two parent families, the traditional family represents.

I didn't know letting children be orphans was a family value.

3. He's the kind of heartless monster that was born in the Hanoi Hilton.

I assure you, when he was in that hell-hole, the one sustaining thought he had was that he would return to the US and his reward would be getting elected as POTUS. And that he would do ANYTHING and say ANYTHING to win. He decided that being POTUS was his reward for the tortures he endured.

His whole life has been about this one thing, and he will do anything to see his dream made flesh. No personal conviction is sacred enough that it will not be thrown overboard in this quest.
