I think it's more important to look at where they differ. Such as torture, immigration, spending, etc.. One would expect a Rep or Dem to have high percentages of votes with their own party. They share ideals (abortion, taxes, etc..) which results in joining the same party in the first place. The differences are where the real story is.
I love the attacks on McCain's voting record. This is the guy that Republican's were worried about because he leans toward the middle a lot. 96% of Obama's votes go right along with his party. Half the time just votes present, which is a non-vote. Not much of a leader if you ask me.
Voting present IS A VOTE. He voted present on bills that carried good and bad stuff and wanted to send a signal to others that he could vote yes on a bill if it got amended and if what he believed to be bad in the bill was done away with...
Egad, I guess I'm not the maverick I thought I was. But my wife told me I am HER maverick because I know how to control her - and other women. So does that get me any points? I am going to tell women what they can do with their own bodies. Does that get me any maverick points? I mean geez, a women's right to choose. The only thing a women should be choosing is a beer out of the fridge for her loving hubby, and cleaning one of my 10 houses. So call me a maverick, if just for that!
thats taking it out of context. as a member of the senate even if he votes on a bill that president bush agrees with as well it still gets put on record that he voted with bush 95 percent of the time weather it was right or not.
and also people mis construe that everything president bush does is wrong which simply isnt true. which i can say because i hate president bush.
His comment about Congress is bs - their low ratings are not because "the public knows that it's not just one person to blame - their low ratings are due to not holding the Bush administration's feet to the fire - they roll over for the administration way too much and the people are sick of it.
when FoxNews put this on the air, you have to think that the real truth is a least 10 time worse than they are showing, and teh are putting it up there in a slow media cycle attenuate the impact.
It is no easy to perfume the turds that it is McCain voting record in lock styep with the administration in the past 8 years.
The man simple is an immorality and un-ethical individual with a false reputation that now just is evaporating in the thin air.
LOL.. if we should ignore history and only look at plans and policies just like this guy is saying then he should be voting for obama! what a dumb nut.
So now the record doesnt matter. If the record doesnt matter, why does McCain's experience count as a positive? This is beyond bullshit and if you accepted this answer, i'll make it easy for you - you sir are a god damned idiot. Amazing how the press lets McCain's folks slide by on this stuff but spends a week discussing a Paris Hilton ad. Give up on the american electorate because the american people by and large are morons...McCain will win and we will get one more half ass war.
"No one person is responsible.." Typical Repug shirking of responsibility for the disaster that has been the last eight years. These spinslutting lobbyists have no spine or honor. All they want is to keep McSame in power so they can keep ripping us off.
I like how this idiot spews the same old "cut taxes! growth is the only way!" rhetoric. Perpetual growth IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. If we keep doing what we're doing now, we'll just hit another wall a decade or two decades or even a century down the line.
It depends how you define growth, and what sort of economy you have. Regardless you cannot become elected president by saying that growth is not sustainable. You might as well run on a platform that says that Americans are lazy.
ya know, just saying somebody is a maveric dosen't make them a maveric. it was reported last month by chris mathews that mccain got 1.1 million dollars from big oil since he called for offshore drilling. dose somebody who's in bed with big oil sound like a maverick. sounds like bush's 3rd term to me. btw offshore drilling won't do shit to solve our immediate energy needs, it's a pander. just like mccain's gas tax holiday. i would be all for offshore drilling if i thought it would help.
He didn't answer the question. This guy is the biggest double talker to date & a total asshole. Davis admits that McCain's record is what it is: voting w/ Bush 95% of the time. And then says McCain is the biggest irritant to the administration. Translation:
McCain votes most of the time w/ Bush. Most Republicans vote more w/ Bush. McCain is not offering the U.S. anymore change from Bush at all. On the other hand, Obama is drastically different from Bush.
During a January debate at the Reagan Library, McCain stated that Americans were "overall are better off" than they were eight years ago.
In April, McCain also said that under the Bush administration, "you could make an argument that there's been great progress economically over that period of time."
So now his ads say "We're worse off than we were four years ago"? He's a maverick, he votes with Bush 95% of the time, he's gainst tax cuts, he's for tax cuts, he's Windvane McCain!
Ding ding ding ding ding!!! We have a winner! Windvane McCane! Hell yeah, That will be fun to hit some sub-tard RepugnantCON when he or she starts up with Nobama or some other foolish swift boaty type thing. Thank You.
Davis: "Their loosing jobs because some downturn in manufacturing." No, dude, it's because our jobs were outsourced and our factories closed.
Davis: "What's better for the economy, trade or no trade?" What's left to trade, other than trading away more jobs, oh, and subsidized farm products other countries no longer want. China never wanted our stuff - see the trade deficit.
Last century ideas are all they've got. How about investing in US manufacturing and infrastructure for growth?
What a slippery scum-faced crock this guy is! He doesn't even lie well. "John McC has a plan for growth": as if that old definition of growth hasn't been at the core of the problem. What we need is a new direction of growth--one that relates to the nature of the problem and someone who offers sustainable solutions. Somehow it doesn't seem possible that a man with nine homes, who wears $520 shoes and who hasn't cared to figure out how to use a computer will bring a useful vision to the office.
"You're talking about history, the last four years."
"I know...but I'm talking about the future."
It's so refreshing to know that the new batch of rep retards are just as bad as the ones in the white house now. Only they can try to spin things around and say black is white and night is day...AND TRULY BELIEVE IT!!
we are screwed. neo cons have destroyed america and we are just realizing it. try and make the most of things now(with family and friends) if you can because things are goin to change very quickly. they have gone past the point of caring about human life and are capable of any atrocities. my heart goes out to those that are already a victim of the neo cons and their allies.
People need to wake up, CNN, foxshit, all most of them never asked good questions when Bush wanted to sell this war. Dont believe this shit this year, you need to do your own research fuck, dont sit and watch cnn and foxshit, you have youtube and google this year. Only Dumb ass and lazy motherfuckers will vote for MCBUSH This year.

Yes, Barack is not perfect & it's tempting to vote for Barr or Baldwin -- BUT WE MUST NOT, ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT HAVE MCCAIN AS PRESIDENT.
