So, how do our two candidates fare, side-by-side, in their voting records?

John McCain Barack Obama
110th Congress 88.3% of 231 96.0% of 348
109th Congress 79.4% of 587 94.8% of 634
108th Congress 84.5% of 587 (Who?)
107th Congress 76.2% of 600 (Where?)
106th Congress 83.1% of 474 (Huh?)
105th Congress 83.6% of 592 (Yeah, right!)
104th Congress 86.5% of 839 (check UCC)
103rd Congress 85.3% of 689 (eating a waffle?)
102nd Congress 86.6% of 539 (registered Chicago voters.Wow.)

From the Washington Post Congressional tally.

What am I missing here? I don’t understand comments 2, 4 or 5.

If you are going to complain about partisan bias, note that Obama’s two-year voting record is within 4% of perfectly Leftist. McCain has co-sponsored SEVERAL bi-partisan bills, and HIS voting record has not exceeded 90% of the party-line for more than a decade.

Sorry about the spacing on the stats, they didn’t transfer correctly.
Look carefully, McCain’s are to the left, Obama’s are on the right side. Or go to the source, and see them there.

George Carlin used to tell an old joke, “And now a partial score from the West Coast: Stanford - 29.” That’s makes as much sense as the pile of numbers in comments # 2, 5, and 7. “88.3% of 231 96% of 348″? What are your categories nitwit? That would be like saying, “John McCain’s rating is 37% and Obama’s is 45%.” And any rational person would say “Of what?”

Here SNuss, decifer this: 16, 3.14, 186,000, 5, 6.2, and 9**2.

16- yrs. of pretty bad Presidents
3.14- apple pie
186,000 Biden hair plugs
5- Palin kids
6.2- yrs. left in Iraq
9**2- 3 or reasons to elect Pat Paulson

If I understand SNuss\’ numbers correctly, what he is trying to tell us is that 83.5% of the time, John McCain faithfully voted the party line in 5138 votes. Is that correct? And that only 16.4% of the time did he actually vote his conscience. While that may not make McCain a total party suck-up, it doesn\’t show him as much of a rebel either. So much for the \"Original Maverick\". Thanks, SNuss. Better luck next time.

Since B.H.O. votes party-line 95-97% of the time, bi-partisanship isn\’t too high on HIS list of attributes. McCain has a FAR better track record of TRUE bi-partisanship than any of the Liberal Left could hope to claim.
