Recently I have heard some people say that they would have voted for Hillary Clinton, but are now planning to vote for John McCain. Anyone even contemplating this should make sure to look past their perception of John McCain and inspect his voting record.
My firm believe is that actions speak louder than words and whatever McCain has been telling voters and the press, what should matter more in assessing his judgment and his basic philosophy is how he has actually voted. It turns out that McCain makes this harder than it need be, as his senate web site does not contain a link to his voting record (Senator Barack Obama’s site does right in the top level menu).
Here instead are two sites that do provide an easy-to-browse record of McCain’s votes
I find it difficult to believe that after reviewing this voting record anyone who would have voted for Hillary Clinton over John McCain would vote for John McCain over Barack Obama. But maybe I am being too rational about this.
