McCain: VP litmus test would be ‘a slippery slope’ … except on gay rights.»

In an effort to appease conservatives who are outraged over his consideration of a pro-choice running mate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) called into Laura Ingraham’s radio show today. When Ingraham asked if there were “certain positions that are non-negotiable” for his vice presidential pick,” McCain refused to answer, claiming that it would send him down “a slippery slope.” Listen here: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/20/mccain-vp-litmus/


But McCain has walked down that “slippery slope” before. In fact, when McCain raised the idea of a pro-choice running mate in an interview with the Weekly Standard last week, he seemingly ruled out any candidate who was “pro-gay rights.”
