All over CNN today is Obama’s campaign saying that McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time.  What they leave out is from the same data Obama voted for bush 40% of the time.  On top of that he has voted for Democrat party vote 100% of the time, while McCain in the past had crossed party lines and has voted on Democrat party issues as well.  It seems that Obama is taking numbers that don’t mean anything since Republicans seem to vote on Republican policies while Democrats vote on Democrat Policies. If you look at who has crossed the party lines more then that is McCain.   What really gets me is that CNN, which I’ve always read, seems to be supporting Obama 100%; Even to the extreme of having an article about Obama’s view on McCain that sports a pro Obama Advertisement. The article in question is titled “McCain is just part of Washington crowd, Democrats say” and spots an advertisement from Obama’s supporters on the page. (The screenshot of the site is posted above.)  I haven’t seen one McCain advertisement over the entire site and to me this is a sure sign that the Obama campaign is buying its news material.

What is wrong with that?  Here I write things about what is Technically Foreign, those little things that don’t make sense for the majority but for a few it might be perfectly sane. What doesn’t make sense to me is why is the Obama campaign keep on repeating McCain’s voting record and not explaining how Obama is going to be able to do what he says while he voted 100% of the time with his Democrat party?  In all politics are messy and numbers and percents never add up.  Why can’t both sides drop the blaming game and explain to us why they will be the leader that we need during these hard times.
