LeesburgSkinFan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/mccain-s-shift-makes-him-senate-s-most-conservative-20110224 "The politician who once best exemplified the idea of a "maverick" independent has shifted so far to the right that he is now tied for the title of the Senate's most conservative member, according to National Journal's 2010 vote ratings. According to a comprehensive examination of 96 Senate votes taken in 2010, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., along with seven of his colleagues, voted most often on the conservative side. His 89.7 composite conservative score ties him with stalwarts like Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and gives him a more conservative score than Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala."

Tulane Skins Fan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It's a sad day for conservatism You are confusing old John McCain with the new "Old John McCain." The guy has not voted against right wing, not just conservative, policies in like 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Wait. You mean there was a vote in 2010 where the GOP didn't vote unanimously? Actually that's a pretty good point. I'd like to see the scores for all the senators. The National Journal article only lists the scores of the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
