Senator John McCain Has Been Diagnosed with Brain Cancer

[Max E.]

Thats a hard one to measure Tony, McCain and Graham have been selling conservatives up river for years, both of them were sanctimonious ass holes who just seem to like getting their face on T.V.

Both of them still think the war in Iraq was a good idea, and that we should even get involved in more wars, when most conservatives learned from the disasters of Bush. You look at those guys and probably the only person who got it more wrong than them was Bill Kristol. That guy has been literally wrong on everything, but somehow hes seen as a prominent conservative commentator.

If you want to see what kind of Pariahs McCain and Graham were to conservatives there is a very simple metric in my mind.

Simply compare the number of times CNN put McCain and Graham on as opposed to any other conservative over the years, guarantee those guys have anyone else beat by atleast 20-1.

You certainly know a lot about politics

McCain Voting With Democrats More Than GOP?

• By Lori Robertson
• Posted on March 8, 2008

FULL QUESTION

Is it true that even though John McCain calls himself a Republican, he has sided more with the Dems than with the Repubs? Are all his bills passed written with Dems?

A: Not true at all. He voted in support of President Bush 95 percent of the time last year, for example.


FULL ANSWER

McCain is often remembered for his votes against President Bush’s tax cuts and his sponsorship with Democrat Ted Kennedy of the 2005 failed immigration bill. But let’s look at the bigger picture. The publication Congressional Quarterly analyzes party unity votes each year to determine how often U.S. senators and representatives voted with a majority of their party and how often they opposed their party. In 2007, CQ found that McCain voted with his party 90 percent of the time. Also, McCain voted in support of President Bush’s position on legislation 95 percent of the time, the top presidential-support score in the Senate. (It should be noted, however, that McCain participated in only 48 percent of what CQ called party unity votes and only 39 percent of votes on which the president took a position, since the senator had been out on the campaign trail much of last year.)

In 2006, McCain’s party unity score was 76 percent (and he was present for 94 percent of such votes). That year, McCain’s fairly low score ranked him sixth on the list of Senate Republicans who most opposed their party. In 2005, his party unity score was higher – 84 percent – though he was ninth on the list of those who voted in opposition of the party.

It’s a matter of opinion whether such ratings show that he’s not that conservative or that he merely goes his own way more than others who follow the party. The scores do show that he has backed his party the vast majority of the time. Other groups also have found McCain to be firmly in the Republican camp. The American Conservative Union has been rating members of Congress on just how conservative they are since 1971. It gives McCain an 82.3 rating, on a scale of 0 to 100, for the life of his congressional career. That measure, too, is based on an analysis of votes on certain issues. And GovTrack.us, a site that tracks legislation, labels McCain a "rank-and-file Republican" based on a statistical analysis of the bills he sponsored in relation to bills sponsored by his colleagues in the 109th and 110th Congress (that’s 2005 through 2008).

In the Senate, Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) voted against the rest of the Democrats more than 25 percent of the time. But Susan Collins (R-Maine) was even more of a maverick, at nearly 27 percent. (The original maverick, John McCain, is only at 8 percent so far this Congress. His protege, Lindsey O. Graham, cracked the top 10 for Republicans.)

I have ceased watching total lying shows like this. --In addition, he's not funny. It just seems so since they have the audience laughing and and pump up the volume.

Don't let your partisanship cloud your judgment on talent. No one buys it.

Jon Oliver is heavily anti Trump, but thats low hanging fruit for every comedian right now, if joking about Trump makes you far left then every single comedian including right wing ones are now far left.

I try to seperate the insufferable left wing jerk offs like Chelsea Handler, who are trying to be funny from people like Jon Oliver who are legitimately funny.

I dont know how many more ways i could explain how i feel on that but we might just have to agree to disagree.

This was golden....

The place where that analogy breaks down is that Ted Kennedy was a hardcore, party line, democrat. McCain was tough on defense, he was pretty much a democrat on everything else. I don't know that McCain's vote on healthcare is a forgone conclusion.

I called it. This McCain is soft on Obamacare.

People in Arizona are apparently extremely gullible and can be fooled at least every six years.
