Sen. McCain isn’t liberal. According to www.vote-smart.org, these are some of his latest interest group ratings: National Tax Limitations Committee, 100%; U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 100%; Citizens Against Government Waste, 100%; John Birch Society, 90%; Christian Coalition, 80%; ACLU, 17%; Americans for Democratic Action, 5%; and AFL-CIO, 0%. In 2008, I didn’t vote for him, because he’s not as conservative as I am and because I knew that he couldn’t win my state, Illinois. However, he’s not liberal. He’s much more conservative than Kirk.
I shouldn't have lumped him in with the likes of Collins, Snowe and Kirk but he is not conservative.
