McCain's Voting Record.
I was posting my thoughts on Strawpoll08.com recently, and mention that pretty much every GOP candidate would be the same as Bush, citing McCain as an example. Another person said McCain was "the most liberal Republican in the Senate" and that "the only Republican who votes with the Democrats more is Chuck Hagel."

This person obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, but I don't think he'll change his mind unless I can prove to him that McCain has a very conservative voting record (I heard somewhere that he was the 3rd most conservative senator).

So long story short, I'm hoping for a site that will show which senators vote with the GOP the most, dems the most, etc. Anyone know anything good?

2. McCain is loathsome and unstable. There isn't a Republican in
the political arena (currently) who is suitable to be President.
Period.

3. I feel the same way, but when I say something like
"I will support the Democratic Nominee in 2008, all the Republican contenders suck" people think I just love all dems and hate all pukes. I don't love all our contenders, but the republicans just flat out suck and I don't want any of them to ever be president.
