John McCain in 2016 AZ Senate race

On Abortion: Defund Planned Parenthood

Kirkpatrick: Yes

McCain: No. Co-sponsored 2015 bill to defund

Q: On Abortion: Should abortion be highly restricted?

Q: On Contraception: Should employers be able to withhold contraceptive coverage from employees if they disagree with it morally?

Kirkpatrick: No

McCain: Yes

On Energy & Oil: Dramatic Arctic changes might be man-made; might be natural

Kirkpatrick: Yes

McCain: Clear acknowledgement in the past, but more recently has questioned. Historically strong support for addressing man-made climate change, but recently raised doubts, saying "There are dramatic environmental changes happening in the Arctic region--whether one believes they are man-made or natural." Also voted against amendment stating that human activity causes climate change.

Q: On Climate Change: Should government limit the levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere?

Kirkpatrick: Mixed. Supported some, but opposed Obama's Clean Power Plan and sought to delay new ozone standards.

On Government Reform: Citizens United was worst decision ever, but don't overturn

Kirkpatrick: No. Supports Constitutional amendment to overturn.

McCain: No. "Worst decision ever." But voted against Constitutional amendment to overturn.

Q: Do you support the DISCLOSE Act, which requires key funders of political ads to put their names on those ads?

Kirkpatrick: Yes

McCain: No. Says objection is about how Act is written.

On Technology: I don't use email so I won't write things I later regret

Of course, it's also possible to say things on Twitter that you later regret, like, perhaps this tweet McCain sent out back in 2012:"Good pic of my son Jimmy's bulldog, Apollo--I'm sorry Mr. President, he's not on the menu!" [@SenJohnMcCain 19 Apr 2012]
