90% vs 96% | 5:49 a.m. Sept. 6, 2008
I keep people saying over and over agains that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. I also see that Obama voted with his party 96% of the time. Last I checked Bush doesn't write legislation he just signs or vetoes them. So it sounds to me that Bush is trying to be more like McCain. On Obama, if you can't form your own opinion on a vote and just follow the lead of other party is pretty pathetic. Followers always make poor leaders.

McCain has went on his own plenty of times, crossed the aisle and even upset his own party leaders. Obama follows along, crosses the aisle if it doesn't tick off Reid or Pelosi and is scared of putting his career at risk. It is pretty easy to tell which one puts country first and which one puts party first. Which one is a true leader and which one is a follower.
