Who is the partisan?

The Barack Hussein Obama campaign has gone above and beyond in recent days in their desperate attempt to portray Sen. John McCain as being nothing more than the rank and file Republican that would only tow the party line. Of course in doing this they have made their "messiah" out to be the non-partisan answer to our country's "ills" as they would define them. It would be interesting to note this article from The Washington Times:
"Whether looking at bills they have led on or bills they have signed onto, Mr. McCain has reached across the aisle far more frequently and with more members than Mr. Obama since the latter came to the Senate in 2005."

Now, i will give Obama a break here...in his short time in the US Senate, he has spent the vast majority of it either running for President or simply not voting, so it really is hard to really see where he stands on issues of bi-partisanship. But then again, that screams out that this guy has no business trying to get into the Oval Office if he takes no responsibility in his current job.

Regardless though, in the last 3 years a look at the voting record would show that Sen. John McCain has been a lot more likely to "reach across the aisle" with Democrats making up 55% of his political partnerships over the last Congresses and the Junior Senator from Illinois having Republican co-sponsorship on only 13% of his bills presented for a vote. Of course those Obama bipartisan bills, according to this article, deal with vital public policy matters like issuing a stamp in honor of Rosa Parks. I guess that is the "Change we can believe in" is actually extra change for a stamp.

The Washington Times breaks it down further by adding, "...Since 2005, Mr. McCain has led as chief sponsor of 82 bills, on which he had 120 Democratic co-sponsors out of 220 total, for an average of 55 percent. He worked with Democrats on 50 of his bills, and of those, 37 times Democrats outnumber Republicans as co-sponsors." The guy wasn't called a "Maverick" for nothing; and has even been accused of walking across the aisle more often than simply reaching across it. Now we are seeing why.

Then there is B. Hussein Obama. The Washington Times reports that he, "...sponsored 120 bills, of which Republicans co-sponsored just 26, and on only five bills did Republicans outnumber Democrats. Mr. Obama gained 522 total Democratic co-sponsors but only 75 Republicans, for an average of 13 percent of his co-sponsors."

This is supposed to be the answer to the divisiveness in our nation's political arena...moving way to the left? That may be right for San Francisco, but it is not right for America.
