Tonights Debate 7 Oct - Page 4

I don't know about "occasions where it wouldn't damage the administration," but his voting record has been touted repeatedly as agreeing with Bush anywhere from 90% to 95% of the time, and McCain hasn't attempted to dispute it.

Edit: Ah, here we go. FactCheck.org says it's true.

*nods* I just wondered, because McCain and Palin both repeatedly reminded us that he was 'a maverick' and 'not exactly popular' and that he was a strong rebel within the Republican party.

Rebel is a very loose term for anyone inside the conservative party.

Maverick? No, I fail to see any proof of such a claim. Unpopular? Yes. Underdog? No.

Back in 2001 or so he was doing a lot more voting against party lines. He has since sold his soul for this election... but looking at the polls, it doesn't seem to be helping him all that much.

I think he was pissed you weren't willing to sacrifice yourself in the culling.

On the other hand, I could be wrong.
