John McCain on abortion and the gays

Posted on 15 August 2008 by Michelle

The GOP’s 2 favorite topics…

“I think that the pro-life position is one of the important aspects or fundamentals of the Republican Party. And I also feel that — and I’m not trying to equivocate here — that Americans want us to work together. You know, [former Pennsylvania Governor] Tom Ridge is one of the great leaders and he happens to be pro-choice. And I don’t think that that would necessarily rule Tom Ridge out … I think it’s a fundamental tenet of our party to be pro-life but that does not mean we exclude people from our party that are pro-choice. We just have a — albeit strong — but just it’s a disagreement. And I think Ridge is a great example of that. Far more so than [New York City Mayor Michael] Bloomberg, because Bloomberg is pro-gay rights, pro, you know, a number of other issues.”

Well, at least he’s not hating on those who prefer to let women and their doctors decide whether they want an abortion, but is he really taken aback by Bloomberg who is “pro-gay rights, pro, you know, a number of issues”? I find it interesting that McCain is alright with allowing pro-choicers into the Republican mix, but gays? Hell-to-the-no, as Maya Rudolph as Whitney Houston would say.
