McCain's Position on the Ten Major Issues

Abortion: McCain is pro-life and doesn't believe in abortions. Unless the pregnant mother's life is in danger, there won't be any abortions, even if she was raped.
Education: McCain believes that parents should be able to change their child's school if the school is not meeting their expected needs. He also believes that schools should be able to compete against each other to see which have more effective teachers.
Death Penalty: McCain is pro-death penalty and believes there should be more prisons and penalties. He believes if a person goes and kills a mass of people, he shouldn't have a single chance to escape. Although he is for death penalties, he voted yes for limited death penalty appeals.
Environment: McCain wants to clean up the climate, develop green technologies, and use alternative energy resources for fuels for cars. He says these will improve our economy and create millions of jobs for people.
Health Care: He wants to give each family $5000 refundable tax credit for health care plans and each individual $2500. He also wants health care records online to reduce costs, and put health records online to reduce medical errors.
Immigration: John McCain wants to tightly secure border control for a number of reasons. Illegal immigrants have been crossing the border and have been committing numbers of crimes. They've also taken over a lot of Americans' jobs because they will do hard labor for less. He wants to deport the two million illegal immigrants and help the legal immigrants transition into the country.
Iraq War: John McCain is a military veteran who has served in the U.S. Army in his early life. He believes that the war is just and does not plan on removing the troops from Iraq anytime soon, unless the war gets to the point that the U.S. is sacrificing lives and money for no reason.
Economy: McCain says that the U.S. is in a $10 trillion debt and our generation has to pay for it. He also says that due to the greed of Wall Street, Americans have to pay for it. He says that he has an extensive economic plan that will give Americans millions of good jobs and restore the government's spending and budget.
Poverty: McCain says that low and middle-income Americans need more help. Although he will help fund them, he requires forty hours of work per week from welfare recipients, because otherwise they could do nothing will they get paid.
Stem Cell Research: John McCain opposes stem cell research that deals with human cloned embryos. Though, he agrees to fund adult stem cell research.
