Cindy McCain Says She Disagrees With Palin On Abortion

In a one-one-one interview with CBS' Katie Couric, Cindy McCain says she disagrees with Sarah Palin on abortion:

COURIC: Some, even Republicans seem surprised that Senator McCain picked a running mate who opposes abortion even in-- in the cases of rape and incest and believes creationism should be taught in schools. And I'm just curious, do you believe--or do you agree with that?

MCCAIN: What I agree with is the fact that she is a social conservative, she is a reform minded woman, she is someone that will shake the-- the-- Washington up, which is exactly what we wanna do. We differ on many issues, we differ with-- across the board with people. We don't have to agree on every issue.

COURIC: Abortion has suddenly become, again, a hot button issue, because of her--

MCCAIN: I think to you all it has--

COURIC: Well, I think probably, at least, it's reported that a lot of people are now talking about this. And I-- where do you stand on abortion?

MCCAIN: I'm pro-life, I'm on the record as being pro-life, like my husband.

COURIC: So, do you oppose it even in the cases of rape and incest?

MCCAIN: No.

COURIC: No? So, that's where you two differ--

MCCAIN: Uh-huh (AFFIRM).

What a Bunch of MIXED UP REPUBLICANS !!!

[lbrillante]

It is Sarah and not Cindy who is being held out for a position that would allow her to appoint supreme court justices and her positions are very extreme.

[happyu]

I have been reading blogs, listening to the media and hearing the pundits go on and on about Shocking Sarah Palin being a "reformer". What exactly has she reformed since she became governor of Alaska? We constantly hear she's a reformer, but not what she's reformed.

[Kenji]

She's an improviser who follows her own ad-hoc agenda of nutball beliefs and petty grievances of the moment. She'll turn on Ted Stevens or whoever it is at the right time. So why wouldn't Big Bad John like her?

Those aren't good qualities in a general election, however.

[patianneb]

I'm not a fan of hers, but for her sake I hope she got John's permission to speak. If not, she's likely to be verbally abused again.
Frankly I think half of mcC-Word's choice of Palin was based on the fact that SHE IS AN INEXPERIENCED WOMAN.
McCain is something of a hotheaded bully, and what better than a FEMALE shorter than him, and with a mindset he no doubt thinks he can control.

SOMETIMES people become "loners" & "mavericks" because they can't get along with anyone else.

[herhonor]

YUP...such as Palin ultra extremist "world view" that is not shared by at least 200 miilion Americans, but will be forced on us should she become "President".

[blaqntelligence]

"McCain is something of a hotheaded bully, and what better than a FEMALE shorter than him, and with a mindset he no doubt thinks he can control."

I don't think he want to control her. I believe this pick if convenient for him because he plans to keep her out of the loop. His mouthpieces said as much when discussing her lack of experience. While Palin is a "quick study" John Mccain will be the "voice of power".

[TRUE BLUE AMERICAN]

So they differ a little bit , the murder of the innocent as a "right" is barbaric.

[RobotHouse]

But it's okay to kill thousands of Iraqis.

[mookworthjwilson]

So I assume that until we have a fool proof criminal justice system, you also oppose capital punishment? Otherwise, more murdered innocents.­..and since it's the state doing it, that makes you the murderer..­.let me know where you stand on that...

[ABCD]

Will you all stop interviewing this Cindy woman.

She wasn't meant to be a public speaker. Anyway, she lost any/all credibility she had (which wasn't much) when she said Palin had experience in foreign policy because Alaska is close to Russia. Now shut her up and get her out of here.

[bwilder]

John is gonna have a fit when he hears that Mrs. McStepford opened
her mouth and said the 'wrong thing." I can only imagine what it's like
being married to him. Ick.

[TrumanHugh]

Yeah, every morning she wakes up and sees his yellow teeth in a glass on the night stand between the twin beds!

[ex-pat]

Best laugh of the week... thanks

[fcsakes]

Yeah, I'm sure SHE'S excited about that younger, more attractive woman who could be spending a whole lot more time with her husband than she does - after all, Cindy was in that same position herself once.

[barackobama4prez]

you know Cindy is getting some wild love on the side. That's the story we want to hear about.

[kmac23va]

I guess Cindy doesn't have much sway with John then, or did it occur to her that should Palin become president because God forbid something happened to John, she would appoint judges that would follow her judicial philosophies, including on abortion.

[Shellly]

Cindy like the rest of us, are just now getting to know Sarah Palin. Talk about on the job training!!

[kellygrrrl]

2008 Election NOT about:
-Economy
-Iraq War
-last 8 years

2008 Election IS about:
-VietNamPOW
-Ab ortion

[Grunty1]

In the GOP's dream world.

[ex-pat]

It is like watching a melting version of "Mr. Bill"

[ABCD]

[robXdion]
