Out of around 250 +- Republican Congressman, McCain was at #171 and he only managed that by missing 15 of the 25 votes that the ACU rated.

McCain missed voting on two abortion bills, including a vote on the "Mexico City" policy, Hate Crime legislation (Lefty Inspired), Left wing expansion of Health Care, Biofuels, and Coastal drilling.

I also find it quite disturbing that he missed over half of these IMPORTANT votes, I know he was campaigning, but that even makes it worse. He has a responsibility to his constituents in AZ, to his party, and to his country to be present to vote against the kind of crap the Dems put into play with these types of bills.

None of his votes would have made a difference.

Not a big deal, especially since those bills were all foregone conclusions. If McCain’s vote was a make-or-break vote, he would have been there, if mainly just for the headlines.
