Project Vote Smart - Senator John S. McCain III - Interest Group Ratings
It looks like he had one reasonably good year for the vets, 2003.

You like his flip flop on tax policy?
That he now supports the Bush tax cuts that he opposed in 2001 and 2003 describing them as "fiscally irresponsible" because they were so heavily tilted towards the top wage earners
