Senator McCain tells us that he will appoint strict constructionists to the courts. He also tells us that he will not apply a litmus test. Which is it? The two positions are mutually exclusive.


He says that he will appoint justices like Roberts & Alito. Will he make good appointments, or will he "reach across the aisle" to "work with" Democrats? Which is it?

According to Jed Babbin, writing at Human Events,

As John Fund reported and Robert Novak confirmed, McCain has said Sam Alito is too conservative.

Is Justice Alito a model for McCain's appointments or "too conservative"; which is it?

In the first half of '08, the Senate voted on seven district judges. Senator McCain missed all seven votes. In '97, Senator McCain missed eight out of twenty confirmation votes. During President Bush's second term, Senator McCain has skipped 36 of 218 cloture & confirmation votes on judicial nominees. We know what his priorities are, don't we?

The Democrats are nominating a fork tongued demagogue for President. Shouldn't the Republicans do better? We need a Conservative choice; a statesman, not a maverick flimflam artist.
