I wanted to write up a full introduction to this article similar to what I did with the Obama counterpart. John McCain, however, has not captured America’s attention (or at least the American media’s attention) nearly as much as Barack Obama has. So, I really can’t say a whole lot about him. His voting record is very much on par with what I was expecting though… he’s a moderate-leaning republican and tends to vote that way.

According to his voting record, John McCain:

• Supports: Pro-Life
• Supports: Affirmative Action
• Supports: Homosexual Partnerships
• Supports: Prayer in Public School
• Strongly Supports: Death Penalty
• Strongly Supports: Three Strikes Laws
• Strongly Supports: Absolute Gun Ownership
• Opposes: Federal Health Care Funding
• Strongly Supports: Privatizing Social Security
• Supports: Alternative Energy
• Strongly Supports: Anti-Drug Legislation
• Strongly Supports: Allowing Church Provided Welfare
• Opposes: Progressive Taxes
• Supports: Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants
• Strongly Supports: Free Trade
• Strongly Supports: Campaign Funding Limits
• Strongly Supports: The Patriot Act
• Strongly Opposes: Withdrawal from Iraq

The above information is taken from: www.OnTheIssues.org. I’ve attempted to phrase this article in the most non-biased manner possible.

Note: Barack Obama has voted “no opinion” on two issues, which I have left off of both voting records.
