The statistic varies with the one doing the quoting, but it's never 100%. That means that, 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? http://www.factcheck.org/askfactchec...ccain_voted_wi... Steve Interesting link. According to that source, Obama voted with George Bush 40% of the time in 2007, when he bothered to vote. Even Harry Reid voted with Bush 39% of the time in 2007. So tell me, Harry - was that bad judgment, too? But I also see that Obama has pretty much voted 100% in line with the Democrats during his entire career, while McCain has often voted against Republicans during his career. I know which one sounds like the puppet to me. Things are getting clearer and clearer all the time. TJ- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The intolerant party kicks those out who dare vote their concience... It is not allowed by the dems, that is why we need a President who puts "Country first". That is not Osamabama Bin Tokin' he just doesn't have the guts to run the country.. |
