OK, so we threw out McCain is principled.
(Which was the point of how this got started, but I digress).
We determined he'll say anything to get a vote, like all other pols.
So far so good.
Next myth to slay is that McCain is a moderate.
Here is a start:
American Conservative Union ratings
A sampling:
Santorum (wacko winger) 88
Lott (elder statesman winger) 93
Dole (as straight party line as they come) 89
Specter (moderate) 45
Chafee (Democrat in repub clothing) 37
Drum roll please......
John McCain - 83
Yup, he's more moderate than Santorum!
Continued reading will show that McCain is about as moderate as I am conservative.
Dont buy the hype.
