Obama's followers are fond of quoting a statistic that McCain has

given sufficient reason, McCain will go against his party leaders.
His running mate has also demonstrated a willingness to go against
the party.

That is a quality I look for in an office seeker. I don't want
someone whose strings are pulled by the party. I want someone who is
willing to do what he or she thinks is right, no matter which side
favors it. I want somebody with some *guts.*

All I've heard about Obama's voting record is that it's the most
liberal in the Senate. No specific statistics. Can anybody supply
statistics of occasions where Obama has voted against the party line?
Can he think for himself, or is he just a party puppet?

Uh...you seem to have missed the point. McCain is positioning himself
as an independent, a maverick. But he votes with the Bush Regime about
90% of the time. It's kind of difficult to position yourself as an
independent and a maverick when your positions are the same as a
president who has made as many major screw-ups as Bush, eh?


Idiot. Totally missed the OP's point.
