We need to debunk the myth that McCain is a moderate....
This is from the article posted in the LBN.

"McCain continues to be a dominant force in the presidential race as he reaches out to undecided voters, Republicans, Democrats and independents like no other elected official," said Republican strategist Scott Reed.


We need to start standing up to McCain because after Bush, he will be the face of the GOP.

The media thinks he is a moderate. It is very, very critical that we do not let corporate media and the GOP define for America what "moderate" is...

he is
anti-choice
anti-worker (voted against minimum wage increases repeatedly, voted for National Right to Work Act)
anti-public education (supports vouchers)
has a terrible enviro record despite some high profile votes on ANWR (where he flip flopped from previous votes)

1. good point
McCain isn't so much a moderate as a very good republican (i.e. that parties ideal). So while he criticises * often, he isn't on our side.
