John McCain is a total hypocrite. He talks about, in his video, his Judeo-Christian faith, yet he wants to create a National Online Registry (Shaming) for sex offenders. He is lumping all sex offenders into one group, as usual, and not taking into account that not all sex offender have even touched or had anything to do with a child, yet they are loosing their freedom on the Internet because of a few cases. His law, if it should be in effect, should be only for those who used the Internet to commit their crime, period. Why should everyone else suffer for the few idiots who commit their crimes on the Internet? His law is a typical knee-jerk reaction to something he doesn't understand or even care to understand. Human Dignity my a$$. More BS from a hypocrite politicians. Deceiving the masses for his benefit! He does not worship and practice what the one true God & Jesus taught. He is using everything for his own self worship! He even criticized the blogging community, he hates bloggers, from what he said before, yet on his site, he allows people to create blogs, another hypocritical issue.

Protecting Children from Online Predators

America's most precious asset is its children. The innocence of childhood provides hope for the future and refreshes and restores the ideals of this great country. However, there are those who prey upon this innocence and the Internet offers these predators unprecedented, often anonymous, access to children. John McCain has taken a hard line against pedophiles that would use the Internet to prey upon children by proposing the first-of-its-kind national online registry for persons who have been convicted of sex crimes against children. Senator McCain's legislation requires that sex offenders register all online accounts in a national database that can be used by law enforcement to investigate crimes against children. If these predators fail to register they would be sent to prison for ten years. The legislation also makes use of the Internet an "aggravating factor" in sex crimes against children, adding an additional ten years to any conviction. It is the responsibility of government to do all that can be done to protect children from predators who lurk on the Internet.
- Above it says "hard line against pedophiles" and "persons who have been convicted of sex crimes against children", yet the law punishes ALL sex offenders. Not all "sex offender" are pedophiles, child molesters or predators, yet he thinks all are one and the same. I would think that someone in his position would know the difference between these words. Just so people know, here is what they mean.

- A sex offender is a person who has been criminally charged and convicted of, or has pled guilty to, a sex crime. This includes things like urinating in public, mooning, streaking, prostitution, rape, incest, sodomy and many others.

- Pedophilia, paedophilia or pædophilia (see spelling differences) is the paraphilia of being sexually attracted primarily or exclusively to prepubescent or peripubescent children. A person with this attraction is called a pedophile or paedophile.

- Child sexual abuse (CSA) is the sexual assault of a minor or, according to the American Psychological Association, sexual activity between a minor and an older person in which the dominant position of the older person is used to coerce or exploit the younger.
- So what about the cases where there is a 8 and 10 year old (playing doctor), and the 8 year old is the one who initiated everything? This is considered child molestation as well, but not by definition.

- The term sexual predator is used pejoratively to describe a person seen as obtaining or trying to obtain sexual contact with another person in a metaphorically predatory manner.
- This is like the cases involving Mark Foley (who will walk free), the Internet predators seeking out children for sex and any other person who seeks out children (hunting) them for sexual purposes.
