John McCain and Sarah Palin support terrorists
PHOENIX -- Want more proof that John McCain and Sarah Palin supports terrorists? Well, look no further than their support for domestic terrorists who bomb women's health clinics. Via Think Progress.

McCain has voted against making terrorist attacks against OB/GYN clinics a crime in 1993 and 1994. As the Jed Report notes, McCain voted in 1993 and 1994 against making “bombings, arson and blockades at abortion clinics, and shootings and threats of violence against doctors and nurses who perform abortions” federal crimes.

McCain opposed the Colorado buffer law known as the Bubble Law, a law designed to protect OB/GYNs from terrorists such as those at Operation Save America (then known as Operation Save America). McCain said he opposed Colorado’s “Bubble Law,” which prohibited abortion protesters from getting within 8 feet of women entering clinics [Denver Post, 2/27/2000]. The law was later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

McCain voted to allow terrorists declare bankruptcy in order to avoid paying penalties levied against them in court for attacking OB/GYN clinics. NARAL Pro-Chioce America notes that McCain “voted to allow perpetrators of violence or harassment at reproductive-health clinics to avoid paying the fines assessed against them for their illegal acts by declaring bankruptcy.”

That is John McCain (and Sarah Palin for that matter) for you. McCain and Palin values the rights of terrorists more than they value the rights of women. That is wrong. And another reason why they are unqualified to be president and vice president of this nation.
