McSame Voted With George Bush 100% In 2008

Progressive Media USA:

CQ’s Presidential Support studies try to determine how often a legislator votes in line with the President’s position:

CQ tries to determine what the president personally, as distinct from other administration officials, does and does not want in the way of legislative action. This is done by analyzing his messages to Congress, news conference remarks and other public statements and documents.

So, these studies only track votes when the President has an explicit, stated opinion on a bill.

According to CQ, Senator John McCain has voted with President Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007: Read on...

And yet there are still those in the media that call McSame a Maverick. That horse was put out to pasture long ago. Oh, and since we know how much the aging Senator loves him some lobbyists, send him a tasty treat he's sure to love -- send him a Lobby-Pop!

Yet he is trying to distance himself from Bush now! ROFL
They will do anything and say anything

MsJoanne's picture

Dollars for doughnuts (the sprinkled variety, I believe it was) that the media, who is in love with their McRib, will never change the Maverick course.

Not gonna happen. Talk about quid pro quo...he talks they stenograph away. He gives them free food and access and they joyfully say how awesome McCain is.

I know food prices are spiraling out of control, but it's still amazing to me what some BBQ will buy you these days.

morning @ 3, my friend, you beat me to it ! That photo is positively spooky. Creepy, even.

Seems like he'd accidentally vote against the moron once.

This voting record with the transforming face from Bush to McCain has got to be a campaign commercial.

burnt's picture

now thats not fair, they disagree on a lot of issues as well.

its just - McCain skipped out on the vote those days so his disagreements wouldn't officially be on the record.

;)

Ha Ha! All those Clinton backers who say they would rather vote for McCain over Obama will get what they deserve when he starts picking out Supreme Court justices! Roe v. Wade thing of the past; self incrimination gone with the wind; cruel and unusual punishment as long as Roberts et.al. doesn't think so anything goes; and as for the war your grand kids will have something to keep themselves busy!

facts have a liberal bias

theWalrus's picture

That photo has to be one of the great photos of all time. We have to continue to tie Bush & McCain. For example:

"Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence.

Among the most explosive revelations in the 341-page book, titled “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception” (Public Affairs, $27.95):

• McClellan charges that Bush relied on “propaganda” to sell the war.

• He says the White House press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to the war.

• He admits that some of his own assertions from the briefing room podium turned out to be “badly misguided.”

• The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them — and McClellan was continuing to defend them despite mounting evidence they had not given him all the facts."

A first third term of Bush? I don't think so.

How would a "President McCain" treat members of Congress, US Attorneys and our Justice System?

Logan, are you implying a quid pro quo?

Maybe McCain just loves him some Bush - he does man kiss him alot.

This family has supported Hitler, dictators in S. America, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. It has robbed banks, fleeced taxpayers (a company that Bush's grandfather was involved with is now in Haliburton), killed hundreds of thousands (or more), driven millions from their homes, spied on citizens (and the UN), lied to the world, committed war crimes and torture, blackmailed politicians with dirt collected by Rice in the NSA, ruined the economy ... and more.

Isnt it obvious that this family is above a quid pro quo?

I have an idea, lets run Pelosi and Conyers out of government for even considering prosecutions of any Bush.

This should be e-mailed to every pundit and blogger covering the "Maverick" until someone starts talking about it in the MSM.

They'll pull themselves together. When the reality of voting for another puppet of the criminals that are, indeed, running this country like a corporation hits them in the face at the polls, they will vote for Obama. If not, then we never had them in the first place.

And consider that it is possible a lot of those supposed Clinton backers were anonymous voices on the radio and anonymous posters on blogs that could just as likely have been conniving, cowardly, conservative dinks doing their best to sow fear. I mean really, they can't win on the merits of any of their odious positions, so throwing dirt in our eyes is all they have left.

We don't have to worry about a few theoretical spoiled idiots who would cut of their noses to spite all of our faces. Instead we need to concern ourselves with how the repugs will do everything to spoil the vote this November.

Better idea - take their audience. Develop methods for 'bringing' the MSM's audience to sites online for information. Market news/information. If the MSM wont provide the info, we should do it. Its here, but it isnt marketed.

Keep the campaign simple. A 30 sec ad of that disturbing picture and fade in the word "McBush."
Use the music from the movie Halloween or the theme from Benny Hill. You can go either way with that.

Expect al-CIAda to miraculously release another Bin-Laden DVD...errr tape... just before election day. That'll scare the American public into voting McSame in 2008 while Obama will be portrayed as "soft on security".

Damn, couldn't we at least get a good-looking dictator? Next to the Chimp, Mussolini's a fucking Adonis!

Best get used to it, this is going to be your new glorious leader ........ the sooner they close the border to Canada to stop the rats leaving the ship the better, I'm only travelling though here, though there are more and more coming up and bringing the typical americon attitude with them.

Stay at home and sort your own shit out I say !! Less polluting the world with your presence !!

Like you Canadians do side-by-side with us in Afghanistan? Kindly remove your boys, too, the Afghans don't hate Canadians who blow them to hell and gone any less than Americans who do the same.

He is such a maverick! Wuddya want?

What a great simple advertisement. Absolutely inescapable. The fall can't get here any sooner. McStupid is 100% behind the worst President and one of the most despicable people in US history. Love it!

McSame and LIEberman 08. What a ticket! Look here--we are in bed with your enemies and with radical nutjobs that want to end the world! Vote for us! Can't wait.

mrjauk's picture

My friends, that's not such a high percentage. I know that my buddy Curt Schilling (who used to pitch for the Arizona Diamondbacks--before he went to that liberal hell hole Boston) used to give 200% effort in every game he pitched. So, given those parameters, I really only voted with Dear Leader 50% of the time.

Jerry @ 47, I'm glad to hear you are only travelling THROUGH here ... we'll be happy to see the back of you. Maybe you can learn how to spell and edit the crap that you write when you go globetrotting to the next unfortunate country that lets you enter its borders. Asshat.

Nice try moron, I'm not Canadian, though I would have no issue being one over a yank any day.

You're obviously a product of your shitty americon education system, as you can't even read "I'm only travelling though here".

Harper is a sell out and a disgrace, though the US dosen't have a leg to stand on and likely never will again, I just don't want that polluting and ignorant attitude leaking out of the US any more that can be helped.

Awsome. Those are some pretty staggering figures. How can he claim not to be Bush III? His voting record needs to be emphasized to the public. He's also on records opposing Webb's GI bill because it's just far too "generous" for all those soldiers sacrificing their lives.

Obama will lose the general election. You guys can kill McCain
but the hillbillies in this country will crawl out of the hills
vote for this man who will continue the Bush policies. We are
a nation who is in decline & it seems like that's what the majority
wants. Hillary could have won but she got killed by boneheads
who call themselves Democrats. You know who you really are.
I'm in my 70s. A disabled member of the stupid Korean conflict. I
have a pension, a nice home a few bucks in the bank so I will kick
back & watch people who post in blogs like C&L stab themselves
in November. Too bad but Mencken was right. Never bet on the
intelligence of the American electorate.

Even so, you think Canada is morally superior to us, when their boys are blowing people up just as much as ours are, and getting equal hatred.

Sorry, Canada's got blood-smeared shit on its hands, too.
