What is Biden's voting record compared to Bush's?

Question

Biden and Obama have said that bush and mccain agree (vote) 90%. Whats the percentage between biden and mccain?

Answer 1

He is one big liberal

Answer 2

Okay, so what all these responses tell me so far is that the Obama/Biden ticket's claim that "McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time" is nothing but c**p.  While I don't know the number (yet, I'm still researching it), my guess is that the McCain/Palin ticket could make the claim "Joe Biden voted with Bush 87% of the time" (or whatever the number is).  We DO know however that McCain has gone against the President and his own party MANY times in the past.  The McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, and McCain/Lieberman bills are all examples of McCain's departure from the Republican hierarchy.  In fact, it was because he broke with Republicans on so many issues that he was a highly esteemed Senator with the mainstream liberal media and the Democratic Party and reviled by conservative talk radio.  It wasn't until he became the Republican nominee for President that the mainstream media and the Democrats turned on him (and Republicans started to embrace him).  

The bottom line is that this is Politics 101 and the spin machines are working full bore to make sure their candidate gets elected.  It's only going to get uglier between now and November 4th...

Answer 3

There is no comparison since George Bush has not voting record as he cannot vote on any legislation.  The percentage for Biden "agreeing with George Bush" is almost exactly the same as McCain's since the 90% figure comes from silly stuff the congress enacts such as passing resolutions honoring some no body from no where for doing nothing in particular.

Answer 4

Democrats and Republicans have agreed on 48% of all legislation

So out of the balance of the 52% McCain has actually disagreed with bush 24% of the time

Answer 5

I don't know the exact figure, but Biden and McCain are very far apart politically and the voting records show that clearly.
