Kevin, AS seems to be under the impression that McCain and Kerry are inhabiting the same political space. He is now calling Kerry a moderate and he seems to think that McCain is a liberal. McCain to the left of Kerry? I don't think so. Kerry is a liberal and McCain, while he has some views that differ from his party, is at his core a conservative. They may share similar views on some issues, such as veterans affairs, but their voting records on key issues diverge significantly. This is supported by a review of their voting records. The two most widely referenced ratings are done by the liberal Americans for Democratic Action and the apt-named American Conservative Union. According to the ADA and the ACU, McCain and Kerry have received the following ratings over the past four years: McCain ADA ratings 2002: 20% 2001: 40% 2000: 5% 1999: 5% Kerry ADA ratings 2002: 85% 2001: 95% 2000: 90% 1999: 95% McCain ACU ratings 2002: 78% 2001: 68% 2000: 81% 1999: 77% Kerry ACU ratings 2002: 20% 2001: 4% 2000: 12% 1999: 0% McCain has a lifetime rating of 84% from the ACU and Kerry has a 6% rating. Kennedy has a 3% lifetime rating. ADA website: adaction.org ACU website: acuratings.com
