Well mostly on environment and immigration..
Global Warming! If the Global Warming hoax is immediately swallowed.. then HALF of all the Democrats points are already won. Sheesh.
Closing Gitmo! John McCain said in Iowa, "One of the things I would do, the first day I am President of the United States, is close Guantanamo Bay! See Youtube!

Pro Immigration: he sponsored a bill with Ted Kennedy to allow millions of illegal immigrants become citizens!!
On Christians: Something else I remember clearly.. A few years ago, McCain called Jerry Falwell an "agent of intolerance" and compared him to Louis Farrakhan! I remember clearly him attacking other Christians...
On Abortion: In August 1999, McCain said, "I'd love to see a point where Roe v. Wade is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations." This wasn't a fluke comment—McCain said the same thing more than once. The same thing happened again following McCain's suggestion that the nutty Republican platform plank on the topic be rewritten, and again after he made the comment that if his daughter—who was 15 at the time—became pregnant, it would be up to her to decide whether to have an abortion.
On Gay Marriage: The Advocate calls him "notoriously pro-gay." In 2004, McCain was one of only six Republican senators to vote against the Federal Marriage Amendment, and after a Massachusetts court affirmed gay unions, he took the position that states could decide their own marriage laws without federal help. McCain has lately fallen back into formation, saluting an obnoxious Arizona bill that would deny benefits to unmarried couples.
On Tax Cuts: McCain rejected the president's fiscal recklessness and tax cuts skewed to the wealthy.
He allied himself with Democratic colleagues on a variety of social issues, including HMO reform, environmentalism, and gun control. Democrats implored him to switch teams, as a couple of his advisers, frozen out by the right, actually did.

If my country is at a stake.. and this guy needs to be waterboarded to release information. So be it.
