Funny how things change. Like I said the other day, flip flopping was a huge "issue" just a few years ago. Now no one is hardly talking about it, yet it is very much real and in our face. Senator McCain the other day made a few statements about adoption to the New York Times. Seems he believes that gay couples should not be able to adopt unwanted and endangered children because there is no mamma in da house.
Course, he and his wife have adopted children and he spoke from the position of authority on this matter. Course everyone picked up on the story of his stupidity. Which has now forced his campaign to come out to clarify the "real" meaning of his remarks. Check'em out below.
What is your thoughts and feelings on this? Post a comment!

JOHN MCCAIN BACKTRACKS ON GAY ADOPTION REMARKS
John McCain has backtracked on a statement to the New York Times over the weekend on whether or not same-sex parents should be allowed to adopt children. Said McCain to the paper: 'I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption.'
The remarks were criticized by PFLAG which responded with research to the contrary.
McCain campaign Director of Communications Jill Hazelbaker sent out the following clarification this afternoon:
'McCain could have been clearer in the interview in stating that his position on gay adoption is that it is a state issue, just as he made it clear in the interview that marriage is a state issue. "
