400-408 – Here's why there's opposition to McCain.
• Mark R. Levin, The Real McCain Record: Obstacles in the way of conservative support.
McCain-Feingold, his campaign finance reform is an assault on political speech.
McCain-Kennedy, his illegal immigration plan is an amnesty program.
McCain-Lieberman, his participation in global warming alarmism is an attack on American industry.
McCain-Lieberman-Edwards, his patient's bill of rights is a boon to trial lawyers and an attack on medical businesses.
His leadership of the Gang of 14 stopped confirmation votes of conservative judicial nominees, as he joined with Democrats to stop a filibuster rule change.
McCain wants to close Guantanamo, opposes rough interrogations, and wants to give al-Qaeda access to our Courts
• John Hawkins, A Conservative Nightmare: Republican Nominee, John McCain.
McCain supports amnesty for illegal aliens, was behind the Gang of 14, is a gun grabber, opposed the Bush tax cuts, ran roughshod over the Constitution with McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform, opposes a Constitutional amendment to protect marriage, was rumored to be considering switching parties multiple times, talked with John Kerry about being his Vice-President, lines up with the global warming alarmists, wants to close Gitmo, wants to coddle captured terrorists -- you can go on and on with this. In essence, John McCain is hawkish, he's fiscally conservative, he has a solid pro-life voting record that is at odds with his previously stated opposition to overturning Roe v. Wade ("I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade." --John McCain, 1999) -- and on everything else, he's a Democrat.
• Kathryn Jean Lopez, A Conservative Case against McCain: A former Senate colleague cautions the Right.
McCain supports embryonic stem cell research.
McCain opposes a Protection of Marriage Amendment and was one of just six Republicans to vote against the FMA.
McCain opposed drilling in ANWR.
McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, and voted against repeal of the death tax.
