The only strong point that McCain has for me is that he is willign to leave behind partisan politics and vote freely on many issues. Unfortunately, the way he votes is absolutely insane sometimes. Basically I agree w/ his methods but think the substance of his views represent an absolute disaster.

Interesting that you interpreted the quote as 'banning stem cell research'. That's not what the quote stated. Not even close. You also ignored the fact that the basis of his roe v wade stance is constitutional, not moral. Your reactions to his policy points are knee jerk.

You should take your own advice and actually LOOK at the candidate's positions before calling them archaic and him a raving lunatic.
