McCain is not GW Bush
| Wed, 10-22-2008 - 4:39pm |
At the most recent debate, John McCain stated that he is not George W. Bush.
In fairness to him, he is not. GWB is younger and did not serve in Vietnam.
On the other hand, McCain has sided with his buddy GWB between 90 to 95 percent of the time on the issues over the past eight years.
You do not have to be Bush to side with him on most issues.
McCain is not Bush. He just votes most of the time like he is.

and Obama voted with his party 97% of the time ....
which is the #1 reason I am NOT voting for him.
97% of voting with your party is partisanship ... and I am ready for it to end.
a lot of dems believe in Obama's stances .. so of course it wouldn't matter if it is a partianship to them.
I'm sort of neither Dem or Repub so I strongly admire a person who doesn't just vote with the group.
I haven't always agreed with McCain but most often (in the issues I looked up) I did.
not when it's 97%
for voting with is party?
that's not the info I had ... not sure if I had it bookmarked but I'll look.
also in previous years he's not voted with Bush 90% it's been less .
"Congressional Quarterly 2005-2006 "party unity" scores provided by the RNC, Holmes and Chozick failed to note that according to a 2008 Congressional Quarterly study, McCain voted in support of the Bush administration's position 95 percent of the time in 2007, making McCain the administration's most reliable supporter in the Senate that year. Indeed, in a January 13 article (accessed via Nexis), CQ reported that "McCain's 95 percent support score for last year was the highest in the chamber." Moreover, CQ also found that McCain has voted with Bush 90 percent of the time over the seven-and-a-half years of Bush's presidency. "
So 95% or 97% is there really a statistical difference? They both predominantly vote along party lines. Obama hasn't been in office as long so McCain's 90%, averaged over 7 1/2 years may look different if adjusted to just the time they have been in office together. I really don't know.
