As if you needed more, here are my picks to date. If you click on the name of this blog, it'll take you to Bill Press' website where you can see even more.
1. He voted against raising the minimum wage 19 times.
2. He voted against veterans benefits and the GI Bill.
3. He was part of the Keating Five (dirty dealing with Charles Keating)
4. What "maverick" votes with George Bush ~90% of the time?
5. He's in favor of off-shore drilling (after being opposed to it).
6. He graduated 894 out of 899 from the Naval Academy. During his military flying career, he lost five Navy aircraft. He doesn't support POW rights. That makes him a natural for Commander in Chief?
7. He agrees with Bush's illegal wiretapping.
8. He doesn't know anything about the economy & we're a nation of whiners. Remember, you're not rich unless you make over $5 million.
9. He's in the pocket of big oil, taking over $2 million in campaign contributions. He also has a pro-big oil running mate whose husband works for BP.
10. He wants to continue the war in Iraq for 100 years. Oh, and let's bomb, bomb, bomb Iran while we're at it.
