Joy Behar: McCain 'Very Conservative in All His Policies'

[alright screw the rule re: campaigns - enough is enough]

Is ABC "View" co-host Joy Behar so far out of the political mainstream that she has a skewed sense of what entails a "liberal" and a "conservative?" The same woman who called Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama "very moderate" on the February 7 show, John McCain has "been very conservative in all his policies." Apparently anyone who does not march lockstep with NARAL is an arch-conservative, as Behar explained that McCain is "so conservative because he’s against choice."

[yeah, that and wanting to close Gitmo]

[oh, and favoring affirmative action and voting against every paycheck protection bill he's ever seen (union dues toward political campaigns)]

[oops, almost forgot voting against the Bush tax cuts twice - and forget the 'no reduction in spending' reason explanation he gives now, then he played the class warfare card, saying it was a tax cut 'for the wealthy' {if you're reading this on a computer, that would be you}]

[oh yeah, on the personal liberties front he's a rabid smoker-persecutionist {yes I made that up} and supported the clipper chip and {encryption} key-escrow bills as well as internet filtering]

[now that I think of it, on taxes he's supported raising social security taxes while repeatedly opposing attempts to abolish the death tax, and on business he's perpetually depicted big pharma as evil while supporting government spending on embryonic stem cell research big pharma's evidently to dumb to see the value in investing in itself]

[and all this before considering 'McCain-Feingold', the biggest attack on free speech in the nation's history, 'McCain-Kennedy', the insulting amnesty immigration bill he continues to say wasn't wrong, and his co-sponsorship of a bill (name escapes right now) that would dramatically raise taxes on 'all forms of carbon based energy' (oil., gas, coal - i.e., all our energy) in the name of 'combating global warming' because "Alaska is melting" {those are quote marks}]

[other than that I'm sure he's a real conservative guy - but what do I know, I'm just a non-declared independent]
