During the buildup for 2008 Presidential election, I am somewhat perplexed by the enduring opinion that John McCain (R-AZ) is a moderate republican candidate. Admittedly, there was a time in which I was also under this impression, but in recent years, McCain has continuously aligned himself ever more closely with the right. As new examples of this fact emerge, I will try to post them here. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with being a conservative politician, it would be rather unfortunate for someone to base their vote on misinformation. There are many past examples that I need to research and post, however I will start off the series with an associated press article published in yesterday's International Herald Tribune. I think the title of the article speaks for itself:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain says law that legalized abortion should be overturned

there was an article within the last month about McCain and his slide to the right. I don't remember all of the specifics, but it made mention of the fact that a lot of the people he previously alienated in the Repub. party are now some of his biggest supporters. Most of it was based on his aggreiance with the President to "stay the course" in Iraq, but there were other issues, like the abortion one, as well.
