8th Degree: McCain On Viagra

"Straight Talk" on what? Has any body read the label ?

John Mccain: when he isn't flip-flopping, he's forgetting, one could not help but wonder if there’s a connection to his memory loss of prolonged use in politics that is.
Or could it be McCain missed out on the father son talks to not having the facts as to these issues. Such as Contraception , Birth Control, Aids ,Sex Education or lack there of .

With comments like these I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was.

My comment here:
What happen to the John McCain who was proposing a sweeping health care system overhaul aimed at giving people more control and more choices ???

So to sum up whats McCain's saying is he doesn't have enough knowledge on the subject of the facts of life or I hate to go here if he does ,don't remember his postion he took.

McCain Stumbles on H.I.V. Prevention

In Iowa Sen. McCain met a question, while sitting with reporters on his bus as it rumbled through Iowa , that he couldn’t – or perhaps wouldn’t answer.

Did he support the distribution of taxpayer-subsidized condoms in Africa to fight the transmission of H.I.V.?

What followed was a long series of awkward pauses, glances up to the ceiling and the image of one of Mr. McCain’s aides, standing off to the back, urgently motioning his press secretary to come to McCain’s side.

McCain said he did not know this subject well, did not know his position on it, & relied on the advice of Senator Tom Coburn, a physician and Republican from Ok.

His press secretary, Brian Jones, later reported that Mr. McCain had a record of voting against using government money to finance the distribution of condoms.
All this took place on the 2nd of the reprise of the “Straight Talk Express” bus trips that McCain made a central part of his campaign in 2000.
It also comes as McCain has eagerly been trying to ease strains with social conservatives in the party who, for the most part, do not support using government money to pay for condoms.

Reporter: “Should U.S. taxpayer money go to places like Africa to fund contraception to prevent AIDS?”

McCain: “Well I think it’s a combination.The guy I really respect on this is Dr. Coburn. He believes & I was just reading what he wrote that you should do what you can to encourage abstinence where there is going to be sexual activity. Where that doesn’t succeed, than he thinks that we should employ contraceptives as well.

My comment here:
McCain Never answers the question .“Should U.S. taxpayer money go to places like Africa to fund contraception to prevent AIDS?”

But thinks that we should employ contraceptives where there is going to be sexual activity. Where that doesn’t succeed. what’s not said is who he thinks should pay for them.

But he agreeed with him that the first priority is on abstinence. I look to people like Dr. Coburn. I’m not very wise on it.”
A moment later looks back to the reporter who asked him about AIDS.)

McCain: “I haven’t thought about it. Before I give you an answer, let me think about. Let me think about it a little bit because I never got a question about it before. I don’t know if I would use taxpayers’ money for it.”

My comment here:
So much for those who claimed he could think on his feet.

Q: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”

McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence.Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

My comment here:
The statement “I’m not very wise on it.” plays back that he was not given instructions on contraceptives helping to fight the transmission of H.I.V.Q:
“I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?”

McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it.

My comment here:
“If he’s not informed “, Not very wise on it.”, “Needs to find out”,Or needs to be told what position he had taken when last involved with this subject. Than neither our the voters.

Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was.Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception .
I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?”

An off-message topic was raised from a member of McCain’s own team: national co-chairwoman Carly Fiorina, who had said earlier women often express frustration over the fact many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won’t cover birth control medication. Those women would like a choice,” she said .

In still yet another event aboard his “Straight Talk Express” bus in Ohio when asked about his views on health insurance covering the medication.

I certainly do not want to discuss that issue,” the Arizona senator said .McCain shows his ignorance on the topic & from the video, he squirms & winces his way through the questioning & sums up that he does not know enough about the issue to give an informed answer.

The list of things McCain admittedly doesn’t know anything about is becoming impressively long - economics, computers, the internet and now health insurance.
