I guess I must be a fanatic then...especially after McCain co-sponsoring the McCain-Feingold Act which is nothing but an assault on the First Amendment and gave absurd amounts of power to George Soros and MoveOn.org.
McCain isn't fit to be called a Republican. He's nothing but a Democrat with an "R" by his name.
It's absolutely not true. I mean when I hear that McCain is "actually a Democrat", I immeadiatly think of liberals that call Lieberman a "Republican". Both of these statements are simply false. I mean look at these numbers:
ACU Ratings (lifetime)
Liebermann 17%
McCain 83%
And compare this to REAL RINOs:
Chafee 41%
Specter 44%
Snowe 51%
Collins 57%
Stevens 64%
McCain may be a McLame sometimes and act strange and so on, but saying that he is a Democrat is simply ridiculous. He is not Jon Kyl, but he is NOT a Democrat.
Assuming you aren't a liberal, and you actually like evidence instead of how you feeeeeellllllll, then you are just wrong on this.
Even ignoring the fact that Bush signed McCain/Feingold (which, to be logically consistent, you'd then have to say Bush is no better then a Democrat either), look at the facts:
ACU Rating for McCain is 83% That's in the most conservative 1/3rd of the Senate.

What you say simply doesn't hold water in light of the facts.
