McCain screwed us on some big things - McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, Gang of 14, etc and I am still mightily POd about it. However, on everything else, he's been fairly conservative, especially the War on Terror.

"Well, aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

Since 2001, what close votes has McCain sided with us on? What conservative legislation has he written?

Good question. See here for an answer:

American Conservative Union Ratings:

Senator	2005 Rating	2006 Rating	Lifetime Rating
McCain	80	65	82.3
Clinton	12	8	9.0
Obama	8	8	8.0

Is McCain a perfect conservative? No. Is he far more conservative than either of the two rats who will be sitting in the White House if we persist in this self destructive tantrum? Hell, yes.
