What's troubling to me is seeing some of the really vulgar and disgusting commentary coming from so-called Conservatives, who should know better. Admittedly, there were times when McCain made political decisions and said things that were angering. When a historical figure's life ends, we can assess his character only in an analysis of his total life. One thing we keep hearing is that McCain was really a Liberal. So we did some research of Senator McCain's lifetime ratings among various Left-Wing interest groups. Here are the results:
Planned Parenthood: 9%
NARAL: 6%
Food Policy Action: 0%
Animal Welfare Institute: 0%
Defenders of Wildlife: 8%
Common Cause: 0%
League of Women Voters: 17%
NAACP: 17%
ACLU: 11%
NEA: 0%
American Federation of Teachers: 0%
Progressive Punch: 13%
CAIR: 75%
Brady Campaign: 14%
SEIU: 8%
AFL-CIO: 16%
American Federation of Gov't. Employees: 0%
Americans for Democratic Action: 5%
Human Rights Campaign (Homo Lobby): 0%
Overall, McCain's positions seem to indicate a Moderate-Conservative stance. Certainly not a 'Liberal' or 'as bad as Obama', by any means. How did he score with Conservatives?
National Right to Life Committee: 100%
National Federation of Independent Businesses: 100%
US Chamber of Commerce: 82%
Americans for Prosperity: 89%
Campaign for Working Families: 100%
NRA: 64%
Sportsmen's and Animal Owners' Voting Alliance: 100%
American Conservative Union: 82%
Citizens Against Government Waste: 94%
FRC Action: 82%
From a Conservative standpoint, that's a fairly respectable showing. But one would never know that from reading the Corporate Media or Alt-RINO sites.
