Slavery is not properly a political issue. Slavery is an ethical issue about which we will ALWAYS disagree. No matter what you believe, you have no legal & I believe no moral right to an opinion whether any person decides to have or not to have a slave. Slavery, despite your delusions is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. “I’m pro-choice. You don’t have to own a slave if you don’t want to but don’t impose your morality on me!” If slaveholders had come up with the "pro-choice" mantra...

@michaeldowntown Love the analogy. It is right on.

John McCain was an admirable man then. After his defeat in 2000, John McCain sold his soul to get the nomination of a brain-dead GOP. He gained the nomination of a party that has a screw loose, then lost the election, because he no longer believed in the candidate. McCain's 2008 campaign was sad. He was weak & dispirited. Man can not live by ambition alone.

Abortion is not a political issue; making it one divides us when we need unity. It was useful when there was something left to steal.

Unity in government means nothing if we sanction the killing of the innocent.

I'd much rather take division over injustice.

Abortion is not properly a political issue. Abortion is a medical & ethical issue about which we will ALWAYS disagree. No matter what you believe, you have no legal & I believe no moral right to an opinion whether a woman --- who is not your wife, daughter, mother or lover --- decides to have or not to have an abortion. That abortion, despite your delusions is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

As a political issue abortion is a way for fools to give their votes to thieves. Think the GOP really cares?

[noisythink]

I believe you completely disregarded my comment that abortion is the killing of an innocent human life.

That is not a medical or even ethical issue, it is a matter of law and justice.

If you believe that a fetus is not a human being or that some human beings don't have rights, then make the case for that.

Crazy Keyes thinks the womans body is out of the question....and mccain is right ..he's seen much more killing that keyes has

[kmcl11]

NO! Keyes wants ab outlawed and doc and women jailed. There is no negotiating with him....he is sooo wrong on homosex, stem cell, abortion, etc

[Kimmis1990]

@allencrider McCain didnt lie. He did support it, but unfortunately he has been hijacked by the right wing, and had to pander to them to get the nomination.

[philberz]

Three of the world's biggest doushebags, all in one room!

[exbronco1980]

mccain says he's seen enough killing, but he was really supportive of the iraq war. um.....ok?

[amberose91]

Neither Bush nor McCain are Pro life.

:(

The way they speak is disgusting.

[rsaettone234]

McCain was SO condescending there.... Wow what an asshole. Almost makes me happy he lost in 2008. Face it, John, you aren't worthy of being our president. Nobody cares what you went through in Vietnam anymore. The moment you become rude and condescending is the moment we all lose faith in you. Alan Keyes was, for once, being absolutely within his bounds, and THIS is the time McCain chooses to call him out? Wow... Just. Wow...

@feldman30012

LOL, well this is a ten year old debate man, so I really care less. All three of them weren't good for our country and we have proven that on a number of ways, but we can debate on 2012...and I say 2012 is going Democratic again. There is no valid GOP candidate and the more you start to see signs of improvement in the economy, etc., the more the people feel comfortable with Democratic leadership. More of a De ja vu of the Clinton era.

[feldman30012]

He is wrong on abortion, iraq, education (says we took god out of our schools and that is why our Ed. system is failing...what BS), interventional war (says america should intervene in issues going on in other countries( wow what a success that was in 3 countries), and gay marriage (doesnt even believe in civil union. However yes is right on taxes...they need to be lower...lol.

@feldman30012

Tell me what good is it just shooting him down on one issue? Abortion was not the center issue in 2000 nor after 2001. I never heard conservatives shoot Bush down when he mentioned the very expensive prescription drug program. He talked about that in the 2000 campaign too. Keyes had the intelligence far greater than both of McCain and Bush. Hands down.

[feldman30012]

But in 2001 Keyes made a commentary supporting it. No mention of the constitution or congress there. In fact its on YT. Keyes is wrong on abortion. Totally out of touch.

[CazK88]

@feldman30012

HE was right on a lot of things, Bush and McCain both were wrong and it was proven 8 years later from this. Iraq was not a major concern in 2000. Read your history. They had nothing else to talk about that was in any grave matter (like a 9/11), so traditional issues like abortion, death penalty were put into play during this time.
