Strange how he managed to stand up to seven years of the 'Hanoi
Hilton,' and then caved to craven cowards.

Sen. John McCain thinks gays are 2nd class citizens

Gay-marriage ban initiative wins support from McCain
'06 voters may see many measures
Elvia Díaz
The Arizona Republic
Aug. 26, 2005 12:00 AM
Sen. John McCain said Thursday that he supports an initiative that
would change Arizona's Constitution to ban gay marriages and deny
government benefits to unmarried couples.
The Republican senator became the most prominent Arizonan to add his
voice to what has become a flurry of measures competing for a place on
the state's Nov. 7, 2006, ballot.
In addition to the same-sex marriage initiative, Arizonans are lining
up behind measures to ban smoking in public places, build a wall to
keep immigrants from crossing the Arizona-Mexico border, preserve open
space and raise the state's minimum wage.
So much action is considered unusual 14 months before a general
election. Explaining McCain's timing, a staffer said it was the first
time the senator had been formally asked to support the marriage
amendment and the first chance he had to meet with supporters.
The amendment "would allow the people of Arizona to decide on the
definition of marriage in our state," McCain said in a statement. The
senator, who opposes a federal constitutional amendment banning
same-sex marriage, believes those are state matters, a staffer said.
Steve May, former state lawmaker and a key opponent of the measure,
said McCain is paving the way to run for the White House and wants to
secure public support.
"We have a year to convince John McCain and the rest of Arizonans
about how harmful this measure really is," May said.
A state law already bans same-sex marriages in Arizona, but supporters
of the initiative are concerned that a judge could rule the law
unconstitutional. The purpose of the constitutional amendment would be
to prevent that and to define marriage as being between a man and a
woman.
Those behind the citizens-led initiatives need tens of thousands of
signatures from registered voters to qualify for a public vote.
Lawmakers, meanwhile, are gauging the public's pulse before asking the
Legislature to refer certain referendums to the ballot.
'06 ballot crowded
The fight for voters' attention will be fierce because, in addition to
the measures, the 2006 statewide election will include races for
governor, attorney general, secretary of state, the Legislature and
other offices.
"We just have to be creative to get our message out," said Barry Dill,
speaking in behalf of the proposed trust land reform measure, designed
to set aside about 690,000 acres of trust land for immediate or future
protection from development.
Proponents have already collected about 20,000 of the 183,917
signatures they need to put the issue on the ballot, Dill said.
Signatures for all ballot initiatives must be filed by July 6, 2006.
The decision to go to voters grew in part out of the Legislature's
failure to reach a consensus on meaningful trust land reform, he
added.
If approved, Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale and other cities would add
wide swaths of desert to planned preserves without spending millions
of taxpayer dollars or competing for the land with developers. No
organized opposition has emerged.
Illegal immigration
An array of measures related to illegal immigration are being planned.
State Rep. Russell Pearce said he will ask the Legislature to put
several measures on the 2006 ballot, including one that would pay for
the fence.
He said Arizonans are getting increasingly fed up with illegal
immigration and they would support erecting a fence to deter human
smuggling.
To pay for the fence, which he said might cost as much as $500
million, Pearce would impose an 8 percent tax on money wired to
Mexico. He also expects people fed up with illegal immigration to
donate labor and material.
"Whatever the cost, (the fence) is worth it," Pearce said. "The
problem is that we have neighbors who don't respect our sovereignty."
But Pearce's proposal has thus far gotten a cold reception, even among
prominent anti-illegal-immigration crusaders.
"I'd hate to see a fence built across our borders," said Chris Simcox,
an organizer of the civilian border patrol group Minutemen Project. "I
still would rather see the National Guard and U.S. military augment
Border Patrol."
Pearce's idea of taxing international financial transfers would go
nowhere because it could violate interstate commerce law, said Rep.
Pete Rios, a Hayden Democrat.
"We ought not to spend precious taxpayers' dollars on a fence," Rios
said.
"If anybody is going to spend taxpayers' dollars along the border, it
should be the federal government."
Smoking ban
Arizonans who successfully advocated smoking bans in Tempe and other
cities are pursuing a 2006 ballot initiative to outlaw smoking in all
enclosed public places, including hotels, sports arenas, restaurants
and bars.
A coalition of health organizations is completing the details of the
initiative and plans to start collecting the necessary 122,612
signatures within the next few weeks. Health officials argue that a
statewide smoking ban is the best way to protect residents from
secondhand smoke.
But not everyone is buying the argument.
Hospitality industry advocates believe a smoking ban would hurt
tourism and other businesses because they would lose clients.
"I can tell you smoking is terrible for you," said Bill Weigele,
president of the Arizona Licensed Beverage Association. "But there has
to be a way for businesses to make decisions when it comes to adults."
Bill Pfeifer, president of the American Lung Association of Arizona,
rejected claims that businesses would lose money if voters approved a
statewide smoking ban.
In fact, he said in a statement, major tourist destinations including
New York City and California currently have comprehensive smoke-free
laws without any harm to businesses.
"Whether an employee works in an office building or a bar, they
deserve the right to breathe clean air," he said in the statement.
