<blockquote>
<p>Two weeks ago John McCain was the only Senator to duck a crucial vote on the future of clean energy in America &#8212; dooming to failure the measure that would have helped make renewable energy more affordable and accessible. Now it turns out this missed vote is part of a pattern.</p>
<p>Last week, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the <a href="http://capwiz.com/lcv_stage/dbq/vote_info/?sort=Last&#038;command=results&#038;last=mccain">2007 National Environmental Scorecard giving Senator McCain a score of ZERO</a>. According to the scorecard, McCain was the only member of Congress to skip all 15 crucial environmental votes scored by LCV.</p>
<p>McCain&#8217;s LCV score exposes the real record behind the rhetoric &#8212; a lifetime LCV score of 24, a history of siding with the polluters and special interests, and a consistent pattern of ducking important environmental votes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Despite giving the enviroment some <a href="http://johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/65bd0fbe-737b-4851-a7e7-d9a37cb278db.htm">lip service</a>, McCain&#8217;s voting record speaks much louder. Vote <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/">Obama</a> (or <a href="http://hillaryclinton.com/?splash=1 ">Hillary Clinton</a>, if she should win the nomination) in 2008.</p>
