McCain and Bush have been opposed on numerous issues. They agreed on the war, and McCain understood early on that they were fighting it wrong.

He agreed on the war, but thought they were fighting it wrong? LOL So he agreed with invading a sovereign, unthreatening nation on lies, but quibbled on how that invasion should have been carried out? Be still my heart.

They have had a long animosity between them, McCain is also not considered a typical Repub. He has voted against his party quite a bit. Thats why he appeals to crossover centrist voters. McCain has had a good rep as a fairly honest politician.

Puke. McSame has a stockholm syndrome with Bush, sucking up to him even when Bush kicks him in the face. Fairly honest politician my fat ass. He just projects an image that nobody has really looked hard at. Can we say campaign finance reform/lobbyist lies?

He's broken with his party on Gay marriage, voted no on the ban.

He voted no on the federal ban, but wholly supports individual states banning it so fuck that.

He voted to ban drilling in the Wildlife refuges, criticized Bush for ignoring the Kyoto protocols, voted No on Bush's energy plans, voted yes to limit Presidential powers on ....He has a better voting record on the enviornment than Obama........

Patently false:
While McCain has championed legislation to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in his speeches, he hasn't voted for it. And while he's opposed drilling in the Arctic, he also refused to support a ban on drilling in a 2005 defense appropriations bill.
The article also fails to mention that McCain ranks last among the 535 members of the current Congress in a rating by the League of Conservation Voters.
McCain has missed every major environmental vote this Congress, according to an analysis by the League. His League lifetime record is just 24 percent. This compares with 86 percent for Obama and 86 percent for Clinton. Obama and Clinton ranked 67 and 73 percent in the League's most recent report.
"McCain was the only member of Congress to skip every single crucial environmental vote scored by the organization, posting a score lower than Members of Congress who were out for much of the year due to serious illnesses–and even lower than some who died during the term," a release from the Sierra Club noted in February.

The dems better come up with a something else. Even his position on the war is weak, because the average American doesn't deal with the war on a daily basis. It's something on TV that doesn't touch most lives, and sadly most Americans don't really give a shit about it.
|
Well yeah, since Bushy and the Repukes basically censor any images of the war at home, something else McSame never said boo about. Americans need it shoved in their faces.

Just because he's not our candidate doesn't mean we should believe all the Blogger bullshit.....It's as dumb as believing Obama is a secret Muslim that will enslave us all

Except one is backed up by fact.
