He’s the real McCain!
And no, that’s not meant as a compliment…….
McCain tried to keep his voting record on abortion in the shadows, since pro-choice is still the majority view in America, he knew it could very well cost him any hope of being elected, however, as we all know, in the political game, skeletons don’t often stay in the closet and McCain’s skeletons are getting dusted off and ready to be put on display to the world.
McCain tries to maintain a moderate conservative image for voters so the people think he is in their corner, but here’s the truth: McCain’s conservative image is nothing more than a mask.
He is anti-choice, not just slightly anti-choice, but extreme anti-choice, electing him would be like electing another Bush. McCain voted in support of Bush’s anti-choice bills, now many of you may know that, but there are also many who do not. What’s McCain’s excuse for not mentioning his pro-choice views to the world?
“My record is clear,” McCain said when asked by reporters earlier this year, “I am a pro-life conservative.”
So let me ask: How many common Americans, between work, taking care of bills, maintaining their home, helping their family and caring for their children (if they have any) really look up and read ALL of every politician’s voting record? Well McCain assumes we all have the extra time to do so, sorry to break it to him, but the common American doesn’t have their own secretary to do research for them the way McCain does!
So, since I had time while healing up from having my baby (I couldn’t really do much else other than look stuff up, since it hurt too much to stand) I decided to do a little research on McCain, not only for my own curiosity (because I was never planning to vote for him anyways, guy just gives me a bad feeling) but also to be able to share my findings with those of you who read my blog but don’t have the time (or patience) to sift through thousands of search engine results (and as I learn when I dug deeper into McCain’s voting records, my “gut feeling” about him was right on target!)

Oh, and by the way, he has also missed about 60% of votes…………Not a very constant candidate, is he? How can we trust a man who can’t even fulfill his duties in his current office with the future of America?

I must say this is a great article i enjoyed reading it keep the good work
I bet the reason he didn’t mention his voting record is because he knew it would hurt him. Thats why he hides behind people doing their own research. If he doesn’t clearly say what he is for some people will not ask and they will be misled. I don’t live in Amercia so I can’t vote but if I did I definitely wouldn’t vote for him.
