Would that be his 50% border security/amnesty voting record or his 70% pro life voting record, or the fundamental problem we have with him isn't that he opposes the war, it's why he opposes the war. It is the fundamental difference in thinking, that America is the cause of the world's problems versus the solution. I think if anyone else had his voting record, he would be slammed as a RINO not far off from Rudy, but because he talks a lot, people magically forgive his votes.
