Why McCain Must Win

“There’s not a drop of bugspit difference between the two contenders, and I don’t care how people slice it.”

I take it then you think the surge wasn’t worth bugspit. I’d say that’s a darned big significant policy and judgment difference. Abortion. McCain 0% NARAL. Obama 100% NARAL. How’s that for stark? McCain: Roberts Yes, Alito Yes, Janice Brown Yes. Obama Roberts NO, Alito No, Janice Brown No. And that’s just touching the surface.

[Norman Bates]

Agreed. It’s somewhat a matter of statistics.

[FreeReign]

Those numbers are old. He hasn’t voted on ANY of the ACU ratings votes since 2006!

No.

McCain voted in ten of the ACU rated votes in 2007.

[Norman Bates]

In 2007, the ACU rating McCain at 80%. Don’t tell me they didn’t I read the article months ago.

[FreeReign]

There's not a drop of bugspit difference between the two contenders,...

That's simply an uninformed opinion.

[rabscuttle385]

Agreed. It’s somewhat a matter of statistics.

Figures don't lie; liars figure. The statistics are questionable. Look at the bills that McCain sponsored, the votes that McCain cast, and McCain's record of actually following through on his promises.

Click the link I posted. 2007 is the most recent for McQueeg

He simply hasn't voted on any of the ACU rated votes since then. None.

I'm tired of talking to you, you are a silly person impervious to facts. The old bromide about leading a horse to water comes to mind. I even posted a link for you.

Have a good evening, I am out of here.

Some "conservative principles" you all must have!"

You're going to discover this for yourself soon...that much is for certain.

The 40% of the time he refused to stand with us, he stood against us. That is the reasoning of he day, right? That’s why I consider a “no vote” the same as a “wrong vote.”

Your post makes no sense. The ACU has noted offered any ratings for 2008.

[Norman Bates]

I can’t explain your link. But I am telling you I saw the article right here on FR a few months ago. I have a memory for numbers. 2007 - 80%. I remember that.

Maybe they haven’t updated the link - I don’t know. It’s no reason to get touchy with me. I haven’t done anything wrong.

[Norman Bates]

Are you calling me a liar?

[Cyber Liberty]

I stand corrected. He hasn’t voted since he announced for President. It’s been a painfully long time I’ve been watching.

[hiredhand]

BUG-SPIT! *pit-ooie*!

I'm done with the GOP rolling over like dogs and pissing themselves every time the left shrieks about global warming, the war in Iraq, confirmation of conservative Justices, and a host of other very important "things". I have NO CONFIDENCE in them or their boy, John McCain, and I'm not alone or unique in this.

[Norman Bates]

You didn’t answer anything I brought up.

[calcowgirl]

I could have had a 4.0 GPA if I could have chosen the classes I wanted to count or the tests I wanted to take.

If McCain had voted for all those bills, consistent with his stated positions, he would have had a hard time breaking 50%. Hence... best not to show up given that it would have tainted his “conservative credentials” even more than they already are.

[rabscuttle385]

Are you calling me a liar?

No, unless you are one :P

Is there anything you feel the need to confess?

It's my understanding that these are ACU statistics. Statistics, like financial statements, can be manipulated. Always read the footnotes (or examine the data and methodologies used to generate the statistics).

[FreeReign]

The 40% of the time he refused to stand with us, he stood against us. That is the reasoning of he day, right? That’s why I consider a “no vote” the same as a “wrong vote.”

That's the same logic as saying somebody who sits out an election is just as wrong as somebody who votes for Obama....which of course isn't correct.

They are half wrong...and McCain was half wrong everytime he missed a vote.

[Cyber Liberty]

Are you calling me a liar?

Sorry, but I saw your gem as I was logging off for the night, and I couldn't resist: Is that invitation just for rabscuttle385, or can anybody join in?

[Norman Bates]

So you think the difference between the winning policy in Iraq and opposing the winning policy in Iraq is bugspit?

I have no confidence in you as a voter.
