- transcendsmas, on 09/27/2008, -6/+168Are we finally vetting McCain now? All the focus on Sarah Palin was a masterful way of taking the heat off himself! Well, the honeymoon is over!!!! It's on now McCain!
- tcbishop12, on 09/27/2008, -6/+120For John, it's always been do as I say, don't do as I do. Because John McCain -- unlike the mythical Good Joe American he hopes to bamboozle with his lying, vicious anti-Obama ads -- is an elitist/opportunist who abandoned a sick wife, carried on with an attractive blond beer heiress and married her, survived corruption charges as one of the Keating Five, and became a proxy billionaire through that romantic transaction which has helped to finance his political ambitions. To suggest that Obama, a brilliant man from a modest background, one who made his own luck and life through his intelligence,strength of character, and commitment to serving others, lacks judgment and leadership -- is far less than an insult to Obama as it is an embarrassment to intemperate, grumpy, hateful, impulsive, pandering, hypocritical me-first and mostly absent (and absent minded) old and faltering, John McCain.
- vampyroteuthis, on 09/27/2008, -7/+106not surprising in the least....
- inactive, on 09/27/2008, -6/+95Mccain continues to go on the offensive in regards to topics he is weak in. It's a classic Rove tactic.
Another prime example of this was when he tried to tie the Obama camp to Fanny / Freddie. Mccain didn't think anyone would bother looking at his own people, and the fact that his campaign manager was a lobbyist for them. - psy333che, on 09/27/2008, -4/+69FYI..
It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama's one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee's six hearings on Afghanistan over the last two years.
Meanwhile, Obama attended the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Afghanistan in March 2007, although he used the opportunity to ask Gen. James L. Jones, then the commander of NATO, about Pakistan.
A review of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings as listed on the committee Web site for the past two years reveals that McCain's committee has held six hearings that included the word "Afghanistan" in the title or Central Command -- which overseas U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
McCain missed them all.
He missed the hearings with Adm. William Fallon, then the CentCom commander, with authority over Afghanistan, on March 4, 2008, and May 3, 2007.
There was also hearing on June 7, 2007, on the nomination of Gen. Douglas Lute to be the White House war czar with oversight over Afghanistan.
Gen. Jones testified before the Armed Services Committee on Sept. 6, 2007, but that hearing was on Iraq and while McCain showed up late for his opening statement, he was there.
But he missed the hearing on Afghanistan strategy Feb. 14 with representatives from the State Department and Marine Lt. Gen. John Sattler.
He also missed the hearing April, 10, 2008 on the war in Iraq and the "situation in Afghanistan" where Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Michael Mullen both testified.
McCain also missed the Feb. 6, 2008 hearing where the committee considered the fiscal year request for authorizations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jones also came before the Senate Armed Services Committee that week. But McCain was a no-show.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/he ... - VCubed, on 09/27/2008, -10/+69McCain is a coward. He will not face Obama. He turned his back to Obama in the debates, rude and dismissive as hell, where he'll be heading soon. Even with his billionaire army of lobbyists and oil buddies behind him, McCain cannot face Obama. If he's so scared of a skinny black guy from Chicago, why would he dare face the now-majority-Dem Senate? Or face his Repub Senators who won't even be seen with him? Does anyone in Arizona seriously believe he thinks he's their public "servant"?
- inactive, on 09/27/2008, -7/+62McCain? Ferris McCain? Has anyone seen McCain?
- JazLive, on 09/28/2008, -2/+52The only worst attendance close to McCain's 68% missed votes; is a Senator who was out several months recovering from a brain hemorrhage ~ his was only 47.7% missed votes.
http://www.mccainfactcheck.com/facts/11/343893.sht ... - redcolumbine, on 09/27/2008, -4/+45His injuries from when he was a POW prevent him from showing up.
- inactive, on 09/27/2008, -5/+41But McCain has a really cool bracelet he likes to wear.
- paintgrl, on 09/27/2008, -6/+41McCain is a joke. The MSM calls him Teflon John. I wonder why they don't go after him? Could it be because the media is not as liberal as the Republicans like to say so frequently. Can you imagine the field day they have with Obama if this was his record?
- Gemfinder, on 09/28/2008, -1/+34All last night at the debate, McCain kept saying "My record speaks for itself...look at my record...look at my record..."
I have no idea why Barack didn't take him up on it and mention this point of fact. - ThsGuyRightHere, on 09/28/2008, -3/+35America needed him eight years ago, but instead he voted to deregulate wall street and go to war with Iraq. Now we really don't have much use for him, thanks.
- Arishia, on 09/27/2008, -6/+35Out to pasture with him.
- SifuMoKung, on 09/28/2008, -0/+26Attendance is a good indicator, because when I vote for a representative to get paid to voice my will in Congress, he'd better have his ass in Washington, voting.
The "alleged crisis" isn't going to get fixed by an ***** that sits though the meeting and hardly says two words. America doesn't need his phoney ass stirring up the GOP in the house to stall the deal and hurt the nation more.
You don't like Obama, fine . Don't defend McCain. He's a *****-bag, and he insulted our collective intelligence when he chose Palin. If you really think that guy gives a ***** about you, you're dumber than the Governor of Alaska. - inactive, on 09/28/2008, -2/+24McAbsent/Bailin '08!
- Butter66, on 09/28/2008, -0/+21"alleged" financial crisis...really?
Today on fox news they decided to get a democrat to talk about McCain going to Washington to deal with the crisis, and he was like, things were going alright then mccain came down here and started acting like he was president and just got in the way. After that they cut him off with "breaking news". It was pretty funny - inactive, on 09/27/2008, -10/+30Countdown to some dumbass Repuke ***** jumping on here with a post about voting "present".
5...4...3...2...1 - thenekkidtruth, on 09/28/2008, -1/+20There was a Senator in the 19th century who missed a lot of votes when he was put into a coma by a bear. But even he cast more votes in that session than John McCain, who hasn't voted since 09 April.
And the Senate's response to John McCain's mad dash back to Washington to save the Universe? He's not on the Budget Committee, he's not on the Finance Committee, he's not on the Joint Economic Committee, he's not on the Oversight Committee (thank god!) - so Harry Reid thanked him for his kind offer to save the day, then indicated his services in the crisis HE HELPED TO CREATE will NOT BE NEEDED.
Are the people of Arizona less than pleased that they sent John McCain together with his six-figure salary to represent them, only to find out he couldn't care less? Yep. This much - in mid-August, polled Arizonans said they preferred Barack Obama for president. In JOHN McCAIN'S OWN HOME STATE.
And he might lose it yet. - buryhillary, on 09/28/2008, -3/+22doncha know. Mavericks do not have to obey rules. And besides that he is a veteran fighter pilot and a former P.O.W.
Good information, thank you. - threat42, on 09/28/2008, -1/+17Your comment could be its very own Digg article, all on its own. And I, good sir, would digg that ***** up.
- Dndlion, on 09/28/2008, -3/+18What a maverick.
- beeblebrox, on 09/28/2008, -1/+14"1) Attendance isn't really an indicator for how good a job he's done in the Senate."
Really? Because that's not what Republican douche nozzles were saying 4 years ago when they were going after Kerry for missing so many votes. - inactive, on 09/28/2008, -3/+14McCain fired back: “F*ck you!” he screamed, “I know more about this than anyone else in the room!”
Why don't I ever see senetors doing ***** like this on C-Span?! - locojones, on 09/28/2008, -1/+12It may be true that Barack is the third worst in terms of voting record, but that doesn't change the fact that McCain is the number one worst.
- sajorojas, on 09/28/2008, -0/+11You mean from when he kept crashing his planes?
- inactive, on 09/28/2008, -0/+10Bush has taking more days off than any president, I guess he was hanging w/ his buddy McCain.
- Stormwern, on 09/28/2008, -1/+11The author has screwed up the math, it's actually even lower.
231/643=35.9%, not 45.9
Obama's by comparison is 54.5%, and he's been running for president half his time in the senate. - Reynardine, on 09/28/2008, -1/+11"But look back to the 109th Congress, when no one could claim that their visits to Capitol Hill were limited by a national campaign. Barack Obama missed just 11 votes out of 645 for the two-year period. That’s a 98.3% record, putting him among the most frequent Senators in attendance. "
Nice work, Pinocchio. - portnoy, on 09/28/2008, -1/+10O, his attendance record in Washington is pretty much the same as his attendance record in high school, military school, flight school etc? Why am I not surprised? His next goal is to play hooky from the White House. Maybe his goal all along was to win the slacker trifecta.
- damark, on 09/28/2008, -3/+12do you really expect eyesonobama.com to be objective
- heystoopid, on 09/28/2008, -1/+10Didn't read the article did you and went cherry picking instead .
Sad , care to try again ? - JPHR, on 09/28/2008, -0/+8At least he did not invoice for working at home like governor Palin for some 300 days over a year and a half.
- cmootoo, on 09/28/2008, -0/+8"I bet you absolutely love Obama and all his "present" votes then."
Still stuck on the 'Present' votes? That was back in the Illinois Senate and counts for only a fraction of his voting record. He actually voted yay or nay over 4000 times while in the state legislature. - XenoSNK, on 09/28/2008, -1/+9Let's think about this guys.
We all know McCain doesn't make that many good decisions. Perhaps it's better he's not there to actually do anything about them?
It could be like a new slogan. "McCain 08 - we won't be there to ***** you over." - Scr4tchFury, on 09/28/2008, -4/+12Warning: Readers will report the content in this article as possibly inaccurate
This is a political promise you can believe in. - jmpeagle, on 09/28/2008, -3/+10it's because he's a maverick.
- SSPink, on 09/28/2008, -0/+6Cheating on your wife is not a "dating choice"
- RSMiller, on 09/28/2008, -1/+7POW POW TERROR TERROR CHAIR POW
- depro9, on 09/28/2008, -1/+6The man is a dinosaur im surprised he has the energy to do anything.
- FiestyPumpkin, on 09/28/2008, -1/+6Yep, couldn't even look at him when they shook hands.
- Ne007, on 09/28/2008, -0/+5I'm sick of the NeoCons calling Obama ANYONE'S messiah....that is a blasphemous statement that only NeoCons use....you will never hear a Obama supporter calling him their "messiah".
But then again NeoCons are cheating, lying, money grubbing whores who only pretend to be Christian to get the vote and contributions. - weeFred, on 09/28/2008, -1/+6http://www.mccainfactcheck.com/facts/11/343893.sht ...
That do? - arcangelgabriel, on 09/28/2008, -0/+4Küssen Sie bitte meine ass.
- ozel01, on 09/28/2008, -0/+4How about Mr Obama's mischaracterization of Dr Kissinger's comments on negotiation with Iran and other rogue nations?
Here's the quote:
Kissinger: "Well, I am in favor of negotiating with Iran. And one utility of negotiation is to put before Iran our vision of a Middle East, of a stable Middle East, and our notion on nuclear proliferation at a high enough level so that they have to study it. And, therefore, I actually have preferred doing it at the secretary of state level so that we -- we know we're dealing with authentic..."
Sesno: "Put at a very high level right out of the box?"
Kissinger: "Initially, yes. And I always believed that the best way to begin a negotiation is to tell the other side exactly what you have in mind and what you are -- what the outcome is that you're trying to achieve so that they have something that they can react to. Now, the permanent members of the Security Council, plus Japan and Germany, have all said nuclear weapons in Iran are unacceptable. They've never explained what they mean by this. So if we go into a negotiation, we ought to have a clear understanding of what is it we're trying to prevent. What is it going to do if we can't achieve what we're talking about? But I do not believe that we can make conditions for the opening of negotiations. We ought, however, to be very clear about the content of negotiations and work it out with other countries and with our own government."
Kissinger did not say presidential level, he said to the secretary of state level. - repruhsent, on 09/28/2008, -0/+4I don't think anyone ever claimed Obama was perfect. He doesn't have to be. I can't speak for other Diggers, but to get my vote, he only has to be better than John McCain - which he most certainly is.
- hinchb, on 09/28/2008, -0/+4Because people always ***** all over obama's voting record when McSame's is actually the worst in the senate.
- FiestyPumpkin, on 09/28/2008, -2/+6Doesn't change the fact that McCain is the WORST!
- alistiar, on 09/28/2008, -0/+4Where can we get sources for this information? Especially about the "*****" and "***** you" quotes.
- rdoger6424, on 09/28/2008, -2/+6And I heard you slept with your dad. Rumors are rumors.
