I don't think so. Some positions aren't captured by such stats. E.g., I don't believe there's been any vote on amnesty in this Congress.

Why must you ALWAYS find some other group's study to base an opinion upon? Do you not think that voters in AZ can see how he votes and what he says and decide for themselves?

I would hazard to guess that the average voter, uninformed as they seem, is both unaware of, and cares little, for some group's rating of McCain.

Are you serious? Why are you asking why I prefer objective and comprehensive analysis to people's gut feelings? That question answers itself. As for your opinion of what voters in AZ think about how he votes, I imagine extraordinarily few of those individuals voting to censure McCain actually had a comprehensive view of his voting record.

What would be truly scary would be if you were right and they were accurately assessing his voting record. That would mean that someone who has been extraordinarily conservative during his senatorial career by any objective measure I am aware of is no longer sufficiently conservative.

This would mean the radicalization is even worse than I thought, which is scary. Fucking crazies, indeed.

We live in a world filled with conservative brains that have no idea of their demented condition, but tell them about it and watch them howl. A few even imagine that a harmless nobody like me is the one who is crazy. Poor poor demented fruit cake ninnies. We need to find drugs that anesthetize the amygdala coupled with antidepressants to help them recover from the shock of shame as the insanity wanes.

McCain supports amnesty and, if as alleged, has supported Obamacare I see nothing odd here. He is on the wrong side of AZ voters, particularly Repub voters.

So yeah, he should be denounced.

Nor do I see where the Repub party has moved on these two issues. It's held that position on amnesty a long time and has never supported Obamacare.

Given the advantage an incumbent has I'm not at all sure it's a bad thing to see one go down when they support policies their constituents don't.

Looks like McCain has been in Washington DC too long.

This position of yours might indicate the Tea Party Members of Congress represent the will of their Voters.... and that implies that the majority of Voters in those districts are freaking barking mad!

I'd rather have a McCain than a Bachmann or worse... An educated Congressperson who looks at the night sky and opines the light from Andromeda left there 15 or 20 minutes ago.

You're not crazy, you have a infinite loop defect in your brain that causes you to repeat the same thing over and over. Sad thing is what you repeat is not truthful and when anyone calls you on it you become the poor, poor victim as seen in your post.

So saying you would be outraged is attacking you? Or that I implied you were a fan of Ronald Reagan? Is that the attack?

Your problem is that instead of responding as a sane human being would you go off on some rage fest. Constantly telling people to "STFU" is not the sign of a well adjusted personality instead it indicates you have some anger management issues that you really need to address.

It wasn't necessary to bring my name into the thread. I am not a fan of Reagan.

I don't have anger problems. When certain posters decide to follow me around the forums I will insult them and tell them to screw off. This isn't me being angry it's dealing with you the only way possible. I will not ignore them and I will respond.

It was 100% needed to bring you up, you are the model character 'American conservative', who just so happens to post from Canada all of your worthless insults and ideas.
You're just so unhappy and upset that you have to live with all of the commies in Canukistan and soak up all of the services their socialist government provides you.
Why don't you come back to the states and go be bootstrappy in the middle of nowhere North Dakota, preferably someplace without internet access.

The first step to dealing with your problem is admitting you have one. You would probably have more success if you engaged in a mature manner but all to frequently you start off with name calling and telling people to STFU. People are responding to you in a way that reflects how you treat them.

At the same time can't point to anything insulting except your name being mentioned, you really need to lighten up.

The defects you see in my posts are projections of your own defects. You repeat this claim over and over and when anybody points that our you play the victim. You have been magnetized by moonbeams and have fallen into a toroid. Now you need to awake. I will help you.

He was traumatized as a child by being told he's an idiot and has been playing one ever since in the demented hope that he can be one and yet deny it successfully. He needs to be put down for being a fool because he needs to deny how he really feels. Don't hate him for it. That's what he feels he needs to feel. But what he really needs is to feel what he felt when he was turned into an idiot by believing the lies he was told that he is one. He is like a drowning man who can sink and rise and sink and rise and relive his death vicariously forever. He never knew compassion and he skips right over it.

Your little psychobabble game doesn't/won't work on me. Your compulsive obsession with trying to pass off untruths as the truth is a defect that's yours and yours alone. Hopefully one day you will either return to the care of your doctor or seek out a new one to help you.

Nothing works on a brain defect. That's what the science demonstrates. You only become more convinced of your truthiness the more evidence is mounted to disprove it. That is why it is a brain defect. It blinds you to reality.

Please provide the studies that back up your claim or admit you are incapable of telling the truth.
