John McCain says he's a "maverick" and "straight talker."

But what does McCain really stand for?

Find out here.


According to the Economic Policy Institute, the number of jobs
Michigan has lost due to NAFTA is just above 63,000. Nationwide, the U.S. has lost over a million jobs as a result of this trade deal.
 
McCain enthusiastically calls himself a "free trader," and readily admits people will continue to lose jobs as a result of these policies. Like I said, incredible. You can watch the video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86QwI-6TWic.
