McCain will support many Republican positions, but not all conservative issues.

The other thing to remember is McCain TALKS a good game but what he GETS DONE is crap Conservatives HATE. He talks alot about congtroling Spending, he DOES nothing.

Which I think is another reason he fails here on FR. He talks the talk but does not walk the walk. McCain Can sound reasonable on TV, but his voting record and the actual positions/reasons he votes on are maddening to conservatives.


BTW, I think part of his Campaign Finance Reform Act was specifically to eliminate the GOP in AZ from their power for accountability and responsibility for their candidates. Republicans today in AZ can claim they can't do anything about him since the party is more limited.

Great point....I have watched is pompous posturing on the Senate floor JUST as they are getting ready for a FINAL vote on a spending bill...

and he calls out OTHER Senators...and derides their pork--state by state...

BUT...then he votes FOR the spending bill...

Why doesn't he do something BEFORE the bill gets to the final voting stage...and why doesn't he vote against it???
