Holy cow! I was uninformed: McCain is...proenvironment!!! Now you can vote for "the Grand Canyon's best friend"! << Golding is a supporter of abortion rights, a position that is at odds with that of McCain. When reporters raised the issue at a news conference, MCain said he was "proud of my pro-life position" but added that Californians should also know he is "leading a dialogue" aimed at securing agreement between opposing sides in the abortion controversy on measures to ease adoption, improve foster care and end certain types of late-term abortion. At several other points, McCain stressed positions that appeared designed to appeal to moderates. He pledged to increase funding for national parks, citing an environmental group's designation of him as "the Grand Canyon's best friend." He said that, unlike Bush, who refused to meet with the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay and lesbian group, he had held a discussion with them, "even though I certainly don't accept their whole agenda." And McCain criticized Bush for the tactics of religious right leaders Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, and once again faulted the governor for appearing at Bob Jones University in South Carolina without denouncing its ban on interracial dating. McCain said, "If I had been invited, I would have told them to get out of the 16th century and into the 21st. Bush went there and said nothing." .>>
