The Bush-McCain Challenge
See how you do:
Truly the McSame
If you think eight years of George W. Bush have been bad, but want to believe that the next Republican nominee might be better, think again. In 2008, John McSame has voted with George W. Bush 100% of the time in the U.S. Senate, including his decision to not even show up to vote against expanded educational benefits for veterans.
That’s right, the worst President in the history of our nation has a loyal understudy.

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.

About
This is a site designed specifically for reporting on and analyzing the record and positions of Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for the presidency. It is not intended to be a “hit” job, but we offer no apologies for the fact that we vehemently disagree with the overwhelming majority of Mr. McCain’s positions. Further, we believe that McCain is someone that has sold out his principles for political convenience, has questionable ethics, and therefore cannot be trusted to hold the highest office in this land.
