However, He did vote for Bush's TORTURE legislation used to extract false confessions from people so they could use that false information to justify an invasion.

What a maverick!!!!

2. He sure didn't vote for Gore.
My guess: he abstained.

9. LOL - he wouldn't say that if Bush's approval rating was 70%.
And what does he gain by it? He's telling Republicans he's NOT a loyal Republican; didn't even support their nominee.

10. Yet in the Senate, he voted with Bush 95 percent of the time
According to Congressional Quarterly.

What a maverick, indeed! More like a rubberstamp for Dubya.

11. Exactly.
Yet, he's a "maverick" according to the corporate press.

It's like pulling up to a McDonald's drive-thru, ordering 6 Big Macs and claiming to have a healthy diet because you also ordered the Diet Coke.

13. He only campaigned for him for months, hugged him, kissed him, and promoted his programs.
But vote for him? Oh, hell no!
