Now that I have your attention...
If Barack Obama wants to claim that
a McCain presidency is just another Bush term because McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, I imagine that McCain might be able to spout similar percentages about Obama.
After all, how often did Obama vote
with Bush? That's something I think the public might be interested to know.
According to Dick Morris on Fox News
tonight, he said that most of the votes taken on the floor are unanimous
because, and I am paraphrasing, "they are often voting on things they
are all in agreement about."
It would be interesting if
McCain would bring up this issue to put that whole "MORE OF THE
SAME--ANOTHER BUSH TERM" bumper sticker to rest.
Then McCain should go
one step further and "explain specifically" on which important issues of our
time that he (McCain) and Barack DIFFERED and the reasoning process that went into his decision.
The mere fact that McCain or Obama voted with President Bush a certain percentage of the time means nothing unless we also consider which issues caused them to part ways and vote differently.
