Pork Spending

Life time rating 88%
http://www.cagw.org/site/VoteCenter?...&page=legScore

Compared to 69% for Duncan Hunter
http://www.cagw.org/site/VoteCenter?...&page=legScore

For those thinking CAGW.org is a some RINO group you should take a look at there site. Its pretty hardcore Fiscally Conservative and stands for those principals regardless.

I am sick of all this non sense hatefull rhetoric about McCain and I only expect people to continue to believe he is some big boogie man Liberal without reading the facts about him. I could give a crap less what any columist says about a candidate anymore alot of them dont read the facts either. Then there is Ann Cloulter who is gonna campaign for the other side.

I guess we can have Hillary run this country into the ground.

Here is a link to his actual voting Record from Project Vote Smart. http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_cat...p?can_id=53270 Only covers 1995 to present. First part of the voting record is the abortion section and you can see He actually voted to overide Bill Clintons vetoe of the partial birth abortion ban.

^it would be interesting to see how many times McCain DIDN'T vote and what the bills were....

[NonConformist]

He supports the ACLU, and supports the traditional values bunch as well.

Theres an oxymoron if there ever was

[Jcpsr]

He supports the ACLU

Heres what the ACLU has to show for him:
http://action.aclu.org/site/VoteCenter?page=legScore

He was not there in the senate to vote on 5 out of the 7 issues they were concerned with in 2007 so they gave him a 50% rating for 110th congress. It appears he's been taking time off being in the senate for his campaign.

He scored 33% on the 109th congress.
He scored 22% on the 108th congress.
He scored 0% on the 107th congress.

His lifetime rating is 25%. I Imagine it was lower before he decided to be absent in alot of votes in 2007.

[harv]

I've read (or maybe dreamed, I can't be bothered to find the link) that McCain differs from Hillary by about 3% on policy matters.

I've read (or maybe dreamed, I can't be bothered to find the link) that McCain differs from Hillary by about 3% on policy matters.

I've heard by several pundits that there is no difference between Hillary and McCain.....

there is no way in heck that McCain will be elected POTUS...so I guess we should all just accept the fact that we will get a Democrat in the WH and bunker down.....

you watch, all those so called Independent voters that are helping McCain get the nomination, will not be there to vote for him in the GE.
