September 11 attacks were in 2001 not 2008

{{edit semi-protected|John McCain|answered=yes}}

Change "After the September 11 attacks in 2008, McCain supported Bush"

to "After the September 11 attacks in 2001, McCain supported Bush" Poiuz (talk) 09:21, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Instead of vague political ideology, his stances on subjects matters more

In 'political positions', the entire first paragraph is discussing how liberal or conservative he was, but it says nothing about his actual beliefs in policy. Instead, I suggest deleting most of that paragraph and adding info on his public viewpoints on contentious topics. CS012831 (talk) 22:49, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
