I didn't think I could lose more respect for Sen. John McCain than I did after the way he let himself be used by Dubya during the last presidential campaign. But now, with his own presidential aspirations at stake, he's saying whatever his advisors deem to be politically expedient, anything to ensure his name on the party's ticket. From CBS News:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain, looking to improve his standing with the party's conservative voters, said Sunday the court decision that legalized abortion should be overturned.

"I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned," the Arizona senator told about 800 people in South Carolina, one of the early voting states.

McCain also vowed that if elected, he would appoint judges who "strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench."

Great. Just what this country needs. Haven't the "conservative voters" been paying attention to what's been going on these past few years? Will someone please tell me how this country is better off than it was before Bush took office? In what teensy tiny way are we better off? I sure can't think of one. And now McCain wants to re-enter the Dark Ages and send women back to the illegal and dangerous abortions of the past. I could not be more disappointed.
