Sailors Set Sail and Want to Rock the Vote

McCain wants to overturn the ruling in Roe v Wade- the abortion ruling that states that I, as a woman, have a right to an abortion. He wants us to stick around in Iraq even though the Iraqi Government wants us to step aside- They are eager to prove themselves. McCain believes that there’s nothing wrong with Bush’s policies that have shipped jobs overseas, making it harder for people who want a job to find one. He believes that marriage should be defined as One Man, One Woman. He seems to support wind and solar energy in his ads, but in his plans for this country, he has only budgeted out how he’s going to build nuclear plants.

He believes that women and men should be payed the same for doing the same job.
