"Democrats made up 55 percent of his political partners over the last two Congresses, including on the tough issues of campaign finance and global warming.

 

"For Mr. Obama, Republicans were only 13 percent of his co-sponsors during his time in the Senate, and he had his biggest bipartisan successes on noncontroversial measures, such as issuing a postage stamp in honor of civil rights icon Rosa Parks."

"The Times study looked at the bills each man introduced as the chief sponsor, and at the bills sponsored by other senators that each man signed onto. The study excluded resolutions and amendments, focusing instead on measures that each man authored and put into the normal legislative process."

 

It looks to me that McCain deserves the mantle of "Bipartisan", and therefore, the agent of "Change", more than Obama.

Great post. :thumb:

I agree. This is why I've been a McCain supporter over the years and why Obama's "change" rings a bit hollow.

It's a little easier to work with the side that makes more sense.

That was the old McCain. He has since sold out to appease the far right. The old McCain called judgmental envangelicals "agents of intolerance." The new McCain seeks their endorsement and panders to them with irresponsible decisions such as naming Sarah Palin to the ticket. The old McCain vowed to run an honorable, clean campaign focused on the issues that are important to the American people. The new McCain runs outrageous attack ads with fundamentally dishonest premises about important things like lipstick. This at a time when the banking system is imploding. Even Karl Rove thinks McCain has gone too far.

 

The old McCain described the Bush White House by saying that "everything is [expletive deleted] spin". The new McCain is just as partisan, combative, and dishonest as Bush.

Hey, I am just happy to see the word "new" in front of McCain, didn't think it could happen

Also true and well said. It has caused me to temper my support of him this election.

No matter how you slice it, McCain has done it; Obama hasn't.

 

Obama talks the bipartisan talk, but

McCain walks the bipartisan walk.

Yes he can and has and will. He is for change for sure! ! !:thumb:

McCain also allowed the Republican National Convention to sanction several speeches that openly mocked Obama and were tinged with condescension. That was another way to appease the far right that enjoys doing that every chance it gets.

 

There certainly was no bipartisan spirit in Minneapolis that week.

Obama is nothing but a typical Chicago hack politician, certainly no change there.

What does that have to do with what you quoted? McCain has certainly been more bipartisan, which is an odd credential coming from the conservative bloc. That doesn't, however, mean he hasn't reneged on his commitment to run a decent campaign.

Didn't Obama do some reneging himself?

As opposed to that bipartisan love fest in Denver????
