Not true. Look at his voting record, he's in the 80's and has voted with Bush more than most Republican Senators. Granted, I think the campaign finance "reform" was a horrible idea and, at the time, I was seriously pissed over the gang of 14 stuff as I'd have liked to have seen a showdown and have the Republicans knock the Dems on their bellybutton over the filibuster. Problem is, Republicans are no longer in charge but we got some cherry judicial pics and the Republians are going to need the filibuster, especially if a Dem gets elected president. Also, and this is the most important part, allow a Dem into the White House and you can say goodbye to victory in Iraq and the WOT. I'd vote for McCain even if I disagreed with absolutely every other policy position of his just for the war.
