McCain’s damage comes less from his voting record than from his willingness to accept the liberal side in public debate.
McCain’s lifetime ACU based on 32 years in office is 82.13 percent. Looking back over the past decade, the numbers vary widely, and spiked during his 2010 primary challenge.
2006 65 percent
2007 80 percent
2008 63 percent
2009 96 percent
2010 100 Percent (as he faced primary challenger J.D. Hayworth)
2011 80 percent
2012 92 percent
2013 52 percent
2014 91 percent
Republicans in his own state officially censured him in 2014, the year he claims a lofty conservative rating. Since the censure reports have surfaced that McCain and his allies have launched a political cleansing of their Arizona leadership, ousting one conservative Republican after another. Politico reported that after the censure, McCain’s team sought to, “unseat conservative activists who hold obscure, but influential, local party offices.”
Still, he isn’t a flaming liberal in his votes. He’s also no friend to conservatives. I want him gone, but he isn’t Jimmy Carter...
Again, the claim was no one has done more damage than McCain to the U.S. In the last 40 years and that’s just a garbage claim. It’s political hyperbole and nonsense. I don’t agree with McCain on many things and if you want to attack him politically that’s fine but the claim you someone cannot think of someone who has done more damage to the U.S. Than him can only be made by someone who is completely ignorant or just a complete fool.
In terms of people who have done more damage to the U.S. In the past 3-4 decades McCain doesn’t even make the list let alone be the top man on it. The allegation is preposterous and nothing more than hyperbole and that sort of crap needs to stay at DU not on FR
