PANDERING TO THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

McCain’s extremist opposition to gay adoption is not only stupid, but lacks scientific backing.

In a revealing interview with the New York Times, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) — an adoptive parent himself — declared that he opposed the right of gay couples to adopt children, even if it meant leaving children in orphanages:

Q: President Bush believes that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt children. Do you agree with that?

Mr. McCain: I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don’t believe in gay adoption.

Q: Even if the alternative is the kid staying in an orphanage, or not having parents.

Mr. McCain: I encourage adoption and I encourage the opportunities for people to adopt children I encourage the process being less complicated so they can adopt as quickly as possible. And Cindy and I are proud of being adoptive parents.

Q: But your concern would be that the couple should a traditional couple —

Mr. McCain: Yes.

So old daddy McCain would rather see children waste away in orphanages and foster care than be adopted by loving parents - even after study after study confirms that children raised with gay parents are NO different than those raised with straight parents.

What an asshole.

Utter hypocrisy. Reductive thinking. Naive interpretation and corruption of 'family values.' Pathetic pandering. Intolerant. Inhumane. Depressing. Nonsensical. Typical right-wing bullshit.

Who would be dumb enough to vote for old daddy McCain - isn't 8 years of Bush's stupidity enough?

What people see in old daddy McCain is beyond me.

Racists see a white man. I know people in NYC that won't vote for Obama and resent that a black candidate actually made the ticket. No lie.
