Would you still consider John McCain an anti-torture candidate in light of his recent vote against a bill that would have limited the CIA's "Enhanced Interrogation" techniques?

There is more to it than that. Have you read the bill and all of it's ramification, implications, conditions, and attached pork? While it makes for a great sound bite, there may be things we don't know about the bill. Maybe it didn't go far enough and he wants a stronger bill. Maybe it included a sub-provision that would have legalized sodomizing six-year-olds; I think we would all vote against that. The point is that you can't just look at the vote and the title of the bill. You have to know politics. It's a sneaky, nasty game.

I don't believe that McCain has ever opposed torture, except possibly his own. His only claim to fame is getting shot down over Vietnam, which doesn't take much talent. Neither does it take talent to sit in a jungle jail and count the roaches on your rice. McCain is an angry, hot-tempered, war-mongering, Bush-hugging, people-hating S.O.B. He's a flip-flopping, suck-upping, ingratiating sleaze-ball who crawls through pig slime on his fat belly as long as he thinks he has a chance at the White House-- which he doesn't. McCain is no more qualified to be president than Dubya, and look what a mess dubya has left us. If we've learned anything, it's No More Dubya. And that means No McCain. =======================

No, I don't think so. I read what one of the other posters said about pork being attached to the bill, but let's face it, McCain is also campaigning as an "anti-pork" candidate. So there's no way in heck he should have voted for the bill, unless he really does favor torture.
