“Actually, they have not done a thing beyond endorsing a four-term Republican senator with a lifetime 82 percent ACU rating”
What I would like to know is what is his ACU rating since 2000? I think McCain was a good conservative up until the South Carolina primary of 2000. Since then he has been on a mission to stick it to conservatives and George Bush. Perhaps a lot of these conservative stalwarts remember the John McCain of pre-2000. Since then has come all of his ridiculous positions such as McCain/Feingold.
You’re right McCain’s taken a leftward turn for awhile now.
From americanthinker.com.....
“First, a rating of 82.3 is not really that high. It puts Senator McCain in 39th place among senators serving in 2006, the latest year for which the ACU has its ratings posted online. For that most recent year in particular, McCain scored only 65, putting him in 47th place for that year. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE), for example, scored 64 and 75, respectively, in 2006.”
