I do live in Arizona an McCain has driven me crazy for years, but his conservative rating is 80%. (not less than %50 as you suggest). The Senate looks to be evenly balanced after Nov. Anyone who concedes a seat to a Dem. who will be 0% conservative and is certain to vote the Dem party line is loony.

There will be some votes upcoming that literally determine the future of this country as we've known it and loved it. I hope McCain won't continue to associate himself with Obie's failed policies, since the landscape has changed since '08-'09. I admit, McCain unleashed, facing no re-election is scary but we're watching him closely. This is damn serious and I'm not putting my vote in the hands of a democrat, whom I consider lower than pond scum. Real POS.

Any rating scheme which posits conservatism in an author of McCain/Feingold, and the Amnesty bills, and the bailouts is outright communist.

Take your Orwellian doublespeak to DU where it is appreciated.

“I do live in Arizona an McCain has driven me crazy for years, but his conservative rating is 80%”

True. But JD’s rating is 98%! As for the 80%, he only has that because he votes with the Republicans on issues that DON’T MATTER. On all important issues, he votes with the Left. He has ZERO credibility. Zero.
