I'll give you a run down (if anyone has more updated information than what I post, feel free to correct me).
* Does not favor 'soft money' and supported campaign finance reform.
* Favors increased military spending.
* Against abortion except in rape cases or when the mother's life is at risk.
* Supports school vouchers.
* Favors limited gun control measures (locks and background checks) but is against waiting restrictions.
* Favors tax relief.
* I think he favors drug legalization.
What makes McCain great is that he's able to criticize his own party. What makes McCain a pain in the ass is that he's able to criticize his own party. He tends to annoy Republicans when he talks, sort of like the drunk uncle at your Christmas dinner. He also acts like a loose cannonball, which I think is the only reason he lost to Bush in the primaries (I was too young to vote at the time).
I think I find McCain likable because in that respect he's kind of like me. I do stuff for the Republican organizations in the area of Gainesville. I have a slight Libertarian edge to me, so I have to keep my mouth shut sometimes. The head hanchos don't like it when I talk about drug legalization or homosexuals.
I also think he would have been an infinate improvement over Cheny as Vice President. Here's hoping for Condi Rice...one day...
