2008-06-15 \John McCain\2008 US presidential race\right-wing deception http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15877.html McCain tries to play Dems for fools (again) &ldquo;In other words, in attempting to divide Democrats, McCain has decided to try blatant deception, and hope Clinton supporters donâ€™t know the difference. Thereâ€™s no reason on earth to think this will work. Plenty of Clinton supporters are disappointed and resentful, but theyâ€™re not crazy. .. On judges, McCain thinks voting to confirm Ginsburg and Breyer is evidence of moderation. Thatâ€™s absurd. Breyer was confirmed with an 87-vote majority. For that matter, 96 senators voted to confirm Ginsburg. Voting with the majority was hardly a bold act of courage for McCain. .. Indeed, even pointing to these two votes is a classic red herring. The question isnâ€™t whether McCain voted to confirm qualified judges nominated by a Democratic president, the question is what McCain will do to the judiciary if heâ€™s the president. We already know the answer to that question â€” because McCain has told us over and over again of his deeply-held desire to make the courts even more conservative than they are now.&rdquo;
