Inconsistency McCain's only consistency

John McCain to George W. Bush, in 2000:

In other words your position is you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest, and life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption...

It doesn’t have the exemptions in it and you know that very well...

Read the platform. It has no exceptions...

In 2007:

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told ABC News Saturday that he still wants to change the GOP's abortion platform to explicitly recognize exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother.

McCain reaffirmed his difference with party doctrine on permissible abortion exceptions after speaking to the Iowa Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines.

And today:

But now that he is the presumptive Republican nominee, the McCain camp is making it clear that he has no plans to push for changes to the platform.

McCain's decision to leave the platform untouched follows a warning from a prominent social conservative.

"If he were to change the party platform," to account for exceptions such as rape, incest or risk to the mother's life, "I think that would be political suicide," Tony Perkins, the president of the conservative Family Research Council, told ABC News in May. "I think he would be aborting his own campaign because that is such a critical issue to so many Republican voters and the Republican brand is already in trouble."

Gosh, it's almost like the man will say anything to get elected.
