“Common sense conservatives believe that the government that governs least governs best; that government should do only those things individuals cannot do for themselves, and do them efficiently. Much rides on that principle: the integrity of the
government, our prosperity; and every American’s self-respect, which depends, as it always has, on one’s own decisions and actions, and cannot be provided as another government benefit."
One of the things McCain believes people cannot successfully do for themselves is discriminate against homosexuals and those living "in sin," that is, outside of marriage. McCain endorsed the proposed amendment to the state constitution which would ban not only gay marriages but also straight couples living together outside of marriage.
This endorsement contradicts this other statement he made before the Society:
“We are a nation that limits the reach of government because we understand that no government should have a right to impose itself between human beings and their lawful aspirations to make of their lives what they will. "
