Voting Records of Obama and McCain

Wow, what a difference, I'd bet Hussein would have more then that if he would show up to work once in a while, LOL.

Except he has more than McCain who has been in politics longer.

My meaning exactly.

So you are saying Obama has done more in his short time in politics than John McCain has done in his whole career?

Are you kiddin, like i said. You have to show up to work to get anything done. Co-sponsoring only requires a sig.

I'm not sure where you got your stats but you better check them!

I'm not sure where you got your stats but you better check them!

It's just for this term, probably for a comparison reasons. Here is the link

okay that would make sense.

Sen. John McCain [R-AZ] - GovTrack.us

That's my source

John McCain has missed 410 votes (64.0%) during the current Congress.

Barack Obama has missed 293 votes (45.7%) during the current Congress.

You were saying?

But isn't it interesting how the candidate for change, Mr O voted 96% of the time with his party!

And McCain voted 95% along his.

Maverick, indeed.

EDIT: You do realize that percentage makes him the single most reliable senator to vote the same direction as the Bush admin, correct?

Where did you get your figure? McCain voted 88% with repubs.

PolitiFact | Update. Obama nailed it

McCain supported Bush as infrequently as 77 percent of the time in 2005; and as high as 95 percent of the time in 2007.

FactCheck.org: Is it true John McCain voted with George Bush 95 percent of the time?



You don't check your facts, do you?

Duh, That was a dumb question for me to ask of you. You got it off of an Obama ad! Another "misleading" ad....

BUT, voting with Bush is not necessarily voting along party lines.

Isn't it interesting that Obama has voted with Bush between 40 and 50%!!! Wow, for a guy that wants change I would think his record would be a lot lower than that.

Really? Evidence that I got this from an Obama ad, and evidence that it is misleading. Put up or shut up.

Hate to tell you this, but Bam's right. McCain did vote that way.

Funny you call a fact misleading, yet the whole sex-ed debacle, long proven false, is true in your mind.

Oh, checking my facts on the 88% comes from:
