Records show McCain more bipartisan [oh my]
The Washington Times ^ | 2008-09-15 | Stephen Dinan

Sen. John McCain's record of working with Democrats easily outstrips Sen. Barack Obama's efforts with Republicans, according to an analysis by The Washington Times of their legislative records.

Whether looking at bills they have led on or bills they have signed onto, Mr. McCain has reached across the aisle far more frequently and with more members than Mr. Obama since the latter came to the Senate in 2005.

No worries...RINO Juan will reach across the aisle again (and again, and again, and again) after he gets elected.

It would be an interesting task to find out how many times Obama voted with Nancy Pelosi.

I know which scenario I prefer.

Conservatives will hate it, but it may be the decider for many voters in the middle. For those who wish for an all-or-nothing conservative in the White House, get ready for an Obama presidency.

You know it's really bad (for conservatives) when he says bipartisan, comprehensive, and reform in the same speech.

You’d better hope ‘Juan’ McCain gets elected instead of that monster, Obama:

The thing, however, is: to most independent and moderate voters this a plus.

Take back congress for the GOP and Juan won’t be able to sign any bills that we don’t like because they will never reach his desk.

Why?

Both will give us amnesty. Both are in favor of increased Government regulation of business and individuals, and both have endorsed taxpayer-funded bailouts of private corporations. Neither one has done anything to restrain the Government's drunken spending; and McCain has reached across the aisle to work for Democrats (not just with them). And both trumpet carbon cap-and-trade (hell, in his online adverts, McCain even has the audacity to refer to his "solution" to supposedly man-made "climate change" as an issue of "national security.")

So please, if you want to defend McCain, don't do so by appealing to my implied fear of Obama. It doesn't work any more.

The presidential election was lost by conservatives quite a while ago. The hope is that perhaps we can take back one house of Congress, and in doing so, regain a chance at standing firm in the face of Big Government's expansion over the next four years.

That may be the only way conservatives will win in November.

“Records show McCain more bipartisan...”

Darn, and I’d already steeled myself to VOTE for the man...

I personally hope for neither but one of the two LIBERALS will get elected. If you think McLame is any better you are sadly mistaken.
