Actions don't support McCain

The new 2007 congressional voting record was released on May 1 and it details the voting record of every U.S. senator and representative on key issues affecting current and future retirees. The voting record examines 10 key Senate and 10 key House votes in 2007, showing the roll calls on blocking Social Security privatization, lowering Medicare costs, expanding access to affordable health care, stopping oil price gouging and protecting voting rights.

In the Senate, 52 members received passing grades (60 percent or higher), with 31 achieving perfect scores of 100 percent. Forty-seven received failing grades (below 60 percent), with 27 receiving scores of zero. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama each scored 100 percent, while Sen. John McCain scored a zero on the 10 votes evaluated by the Alliance for Retired Americans in 2007.

Obviously, John McCain looks like us, but surely does not represent us. His mouth may say one thing, but his actions surely speak the truth!
