Obama rejected...Democrat says he voted for McCain Scotty Starnes | October 25, 2010 at 12:39 PM | Tags: Barack Obama, Gene Taylor, John McCain, Mississippi, Nancy Pelosi, Obama, Obamacare, President Obama | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-3dT

Can you smell the desperation in the air. Democrats can't run away fast enough from Obama and his failed policies. We have seen the stories of Democrats fronting fake Tea Party candidates to steal votes away from Republicans. We have seen some Democrats who conveniently leave out that they are Democrats in their own campaign ads. Now we have Democrats claiming they voted for McCain over Obama.

The Hill reports:

Conservative Democratic Rep. Gene Taylor (Miss.) said over the weekend that voted against his own party when he went to the ballot box to vote for president in 2008.

Taylor told the Sun Herald of South Mississippi that he chose Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president over then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)

Reporter Maria Recio told The Hill that when Taylor was asked if he voted for the Democratic nominee in 2008, he said, "I did not vote for Obama. I voted for Sen. McCain. Better the devil you know."

Like other conservative Democrats, the 11-term congressman has spoken out against party leaders such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) during his reelection campaign and has argued the leadership has been too liberal. 

The congressman's comments illustrate the extent to which he and other conservative and Blue Dog Democrats have gone to show they are independent of their party's leaders. 

But remember, the liberal media wants you to believe its the Republican party who is having a civil war within its party.
