Where does McCain stand on the big issues?

Question

Healthcare, Abortion, the "War on Terrorism", Taxes... etc. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Against Universal Healthcare

For the War in Iraq, Terror, Drugs, you name it.

For lowering taxes and Trickle Down economics

Answer 2

He is on top of them all. No Universal Health-Care, stands against murder of growing babies (but will make no laws saying a woman cannot murder their unborn babies, and he wants to cut taxes, as a Republican always does.

McCain 2008 for me.

Answer 3

Hope the first link below is of help.  It should answer your questions.

Answer 4

Health care:  To let people make their own choices with a $5000.00 tax credit toward your health insurance.  A health care plan without the government dictating your care.

Abortion:  Against abortion, especially when used as a method of birth control.  Christians know there are times of extreme extenuating circumstances, but we know abortion is by far out of control

War on Terror:  John McCain himself said, "We need to Defeat it!"

Taxes: Cut all taxes, do not increase the capital gains tax as that would hurt the economy, do not reinstate the death tax, and to make tax cuts permanent for everyone.  Businesses and jobs will grow if government will decrease spending on pork, and cut spending that is unnecessary.

Answer 7

He believes healthcare should be available to those who can afford it.

He believes a fertilized egg is equal in value to a human being and opposes all forms of birth control and abortion.

He doesn't talk about the war on terror.

He will give the wealthiest 0.01% of Americans a substantial tax cut.

Answer 8

Healthcare - Will offer tax credits to those who are lucky enough to be able to afford their own health insurance and tax those whose employers provide a group health plan for those who cannot get a policy on their own.  It will do nothing for those for whom a credit of non-existent money will do no good, or for those whom insurance companies will refuse to insure because it wouldn't let them make as big a profit as they are now.  

Abortion-believes that life begins at conception, which he apparently considers to be the moment of fertilization.  This means that he would have to make not only abortion but also birth control pills and IUD's illegal, since they do not prevent fertilization but prevent implantation of the fertilized egg.  Will force poor women into back alley abortions, while the rich will always be able to go across the border to get one, as they did before Roe v Wade.  On the other hand, this will produce an economic boom for border towns and the economy of Mexico.

War on Terror - Continues to believe we can bomb our way out of it, in spite of the latest Rand report that in the last 100 years, only 8% of terror groups were destroyed by military means.

Taxes - Income tax rates on those making below $200,000 will be almost identical to those proposed by Obama.  Will continue tax subsidies to the highest percentage of income earners and all major corporations, even though it is currently estimated that 2/3 of them pay no taxes at all.

No one knows. All we know is he is for big oil.

Answer 10

Moody Red has given you the answer better than I could. I concur with her.

Answer 11

He's against abortion but understands Roe v Wade is settled law.

He is for improving access to health care by giving tax credits so people can buy their own insurance. He is against government health care.

He is for fighting the war on terrorism.

He is against raising taxes while the economy is close to recession.

Answer 12

Wherever they tell him to stand, dummy. It'll vary on a day to day basis, according to who is telling him what to say and what stance to take.
