Let me give you an example of how your point of view is being promoted by the media through very unfair coverage.

The mass media (liberal) have made a big deal over Governo Palin's husband having a DWI 22 years ago at the age of 22.

By Ombama's own account when he was 22 he was using Cocaine. Yet the media gives him a pass on that but tries to use Governor Palin's husbands DWI to smear her.
My point was that a vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.

Who would you vote for Nero or Caligula?

The 18-year-old father-, husband- and celebrity-to-be left Alaska this morning to join the Palin family at the convention, according to his mother. Gov. Palin's speech is scheduled for Wednesday night.

The young parents-to-be haven't faced any pressure to wed, says the boy's mother, Sherry Johnston, reporting that the two teens planned to marry before it was known she was pregnant.

McCain is NOT a Bush type.

Renda's right. He only voted with Bush 90% of the time in the Senate, so he's technically 10% different.

Sorry Renda. You left me a softball and I couldn't resist taking a swing

Talk about a softball...Bush never voted in the Senate.

Anything that Bush either vetoed or signed into law was agreed to by the majority of both the House and the Senate sooooo I bet we could find a number of liberal Senators who agreed with Bush a lot too.

Baron, according to Congressional Quarterly, on the issues that the President took a position on in 2007, John McCain was their most reliable vote at 95% of the time. Barak Obama voted with the White House 40% of the time.

It's fine to believe that John McCain was right and thus, that George W. Bush is right but the two can't be seperated.

I don't doubt that. The first point was just being funny because a President doesn't vote, but you knew that.

The second point is that for McCain to "vote with" the President you first have to have a bill that the majority of the House and the Senate agree to. So those numbers aren’t that impressive. Obama "voting with" Bush 40% of the time and being from the opposite party says something about those numbers. Remember Obama was very fond of SKIPPING votes something John Edwards went after Obama on.

That's a very valid point in discussing those numbers. I don't have a subscription so I don't have all the numbers in front of me.

Not when you factor in McCain's apparent fondness of skipping votes.
