KEY ISSUES ABOUT McCain

Over the years, he has received more than anyone else in congress from the Health Industry. Furthermore, receives a huge amount from the Oil Industry because he changed his position about drilling off shore which would further endanger our coast lines when you consider the rapid increase in global warming and it's effect on hurricanes on the coastal areas. Furthermore, he has been very lax in dealing with Environmental issues, was declared the worst in Congress by the League of Conservation Voters in 2008 because he claimed to support the environment, but either voted against or missed all the votes, even missing a major piece of legislation when he was in town.
