"Through last week, McCain had missed a nice, round 60.0 percent of Senate votes so far in the 110th Congress. After Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), who was absent for several months following a brain hemorrhage, comes Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who lay well behind McCain with 41.8 percent of votes missed."

- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -11/+30Wow, you are working OVERTIME to prove you are an irrelevant douche nozzle piss ant!

- BrownMoses, on 05/28/2008, -10/+24I actually find it amazing that McCain seems to have embraced Bush rather then attempted to distance himself from an extremely unpopular leader. The McCain Campaign attacks on Obama have easily been deflected and turned around by an Obama campaign hardened by six months of exactly the same stuff from Hillary so I expected them to try a different course of action. The McCain Campaign might as well buy some of Hillary's old attack ads because they certaintly aren't coming up with anything new, and I hear Hillary could do with the money.

- SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -21/+33Why am I not the least bit surprised. They were also seen hugging on TV too. McCain is Bush incarnate.
"McCain has already been elected. I wonder how many people understand the profound significance of the recent subpoena of Karl Rove by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Let me lay it out for you. If what Karl Rove did to the election rolls is not corrected, John McCain has already been elected president." http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/327.html

The world is going to hell in a handbasket if people blindly follow Bush. Even more so if McInsane gets appointed- err.. "elected" by Diebold.. rather..He and other world dictators are drunk on power and with dangerous ambitions to take away our rights. They're planning it strategically and chipping away at them. If we do nothing, they win. He is the terrorist who "hates our freedoms."
Here is the solution: don't hire inbred blue blood elites any more, and we will get REAL change. No more Royal blood, no more elites. No more dual citizenship Zionist traitors. If you want the job done right - do it yourself. We the People are the Supreme Power of this Republic. If we have one of The People in office, instead of someone from the same family (Dick/Bush, Kerry, Obama, Billary, Vlad the Impaler, The Windsor Royal Family, etc., etc.) the job WILL be done in accordance with the Supreme Law of the Land - The Constitution of the United States of America. - Temo1, on 05/28/2008, -4/+16Ok, how about some other statistics, since we're so keen on them now? These are the stats for the 110th Congress, as recorded by the Washington Post:
Voting WITH Party on Key Issues (as in, not procedural votes):
McCain: 88.3%
Obama: 96.7%
Clinton: 97.2%
So um.. who is more centrist? - h4mx0r, on 05/28/2008, -2/+14Actually, it's
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. - Zarokima, on 05/28/2008, -0/+11Since when was there a Muslim in the race?
- pintomp3, on 05/28/2008, -0/+11why'd you leave out #1?
#1 Missed Votes 60% Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)
* Votes: 346 votes missed (60.0%), 231 votes cast - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -15/+26We don't blame you. We just don't give a *****, as always whenever some paulitie feels he has to inject this little tidbit of irrelevant information into the conversation
- SpartanErik, on 05/28/2008, -11/+22Just so the Digg-berals don't start jumping on the bandwagon, I suggest everyone read the first comment on the whole news story:
"I am an Obama supporter who strongly disagrees with McCain on most issues, but this is just a stupid, misleading statistic, and let me tell you why. As you acknowledge, McCain was almost never there for votes in 2008 since he’s been busy on the campaign trail. And even though he only voted a few times, he did split with his party a number of times (See http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/member ... ) This is the kind of statistic that is used to ignore details and give an overall impression that may or may not be honest." - Kareem7 - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -4/+15thanks for the confirmation, Dstat...
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -7/+17Yes, it's all part of the global-jew-incorporated conspiracy to silence paul. You are some kind of genius...
- jstohler, on 05/28/2008, -8/+18McCain: Nuthugging the Pres since 2000
- arcticblue, on 05/28/2008, -0/+10What? Peace?
- GhostyBoy, on 05/28/2008, -0/+10OMFG I didn't realize that was Obama's middle name until you capitalized it! Now I realize that he must be a dangerous dictator!
OMFG dude did you notice how close his first name is to OSAMA?!?
This. changes. EVERYTHING. - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -5/+15BREAKING NEWS! MCCAIN VOTED WITH BUSH 100% FROM MAR 1ST TO MAR 2ND, 2008 HE'S PRACTICALLY A CLONE!
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -14/+23Wow, a Huff Post story on the front page. That's rare.
Buried. - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -2/+11Remember "Operation Chaos"?
I'm not suggesting this explains *all* hillary supporters who would vote for McCain, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if some of the "dems" that were exit polled who l claimed that they would vote for McCain over Obama were always planning to support McCain anyways... - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -5/+14Was it 4:20 when you posted that?
- pintomp3, on 05/28/2008, -2/+10and he voted with bush 98% of the time in 2007. quite the maverick, he is.
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -4/+12Sorry HC, I actually like onetimer he's far easier to tolerate than you idiotic, self-righteous, brain-dead, Paulspammers.
- GhostyBoy, on 05/28/2008, -0/+7Do you even realize what you just said?
You implied that it is bad to be both muslim AND racist.
Sometimes I think people like you just drool on the keyboard until something resembling a comment comes out. - JK1150, on 05/28/2008, -12/+18it's the huffington post linking to an article on progressivemediausa.org
good sources guys, looks like fox news is still beating digg reporting fair news when you compare it to this. - trendygamer, on 05/28/2008, -0/+6Man, I didn't know someone was keeping track of all those votes President Bush made in the Senate....
- bjornski, on 05/28/2008, -2/+8No, it's not rigged.
In the time it took you up vote him up, 6 other people decided to vote him a dumbass.
There's no conspiracy behind it. - trenchcoat, on 05/28/2008, -1/+7That kind of logic has no place here at Digg.
- homah, on 05/28/2008, -0/+5And that's why third parties will never have a chance. If people voted their conscience, the LP might get 7-10% in this election, gain some momentum and become a legitimate option in 2012 and beyond. Too bad people are shortsighted and can only see a couple months in front of their faces.
- xtinamo, on 05/28/2008, -1/+6Let's not drag football into this...what did it ever do to you?
- macslut, on 05/28/2008, -5/+10How many times did Obama vote against Bush in 2008? On how many of those issues would *you* have voted with Bush. For ***** sake, let's get beyond "we all hate Bush" and actually judge the candidates on their own merits, what they stand for, and the real issues.
- bjornski, on 05/28/2008, -2/+7Taxpayer funded stadiums.
I don't give a rats ass about sports, but when the taxpayer has to start building the arenas to pay these overpaid grown children playing catch with a ball, it's gone too far.
Make the team owners and team pay for it if it's such a good business. - Mothrog, on 05/28/2008, -3/+8Isn't it time you got to goose stepping practice? I don't know which is worse: Ron Paul or the tin foil hat retards that support him.
- MaTT2011, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4Dude, you FAIL.
Please leave the internet and only return when you have retrieved a brain of some kind. A small mammal's brain would be a huge step up from what you currently have. - Sogui, on 05/28/2008, -3/+7You know it's funny whenever I read stories like this, they keep the facts as far away from the readers as possible. I had to click through 2 websites just to get the facts about the survey, and even then key data like "How many times has Bush given explicit preference for the outcome of a bill this year?" So far only 2 times come to mind, the president only really give his opinion on a bill when it's either a really big item or he's promising to veto something.
But why offer us real facts and numbers when you can just yell out 100 PERCENT BUSH and score Huffington Post another front page story. - strifeprime, on 05/28/2008, -3/+7Yes, all three candidates are worthless. Barack speaks so eloquently that he has somehow duped people into thinking he stands for change. It's brilliant really. It's the same method George W. Bush used before his election. Tell them what they want to hear then when you are in office you can do whatever the ***** you want.
- homah, on 05/28/2008, -2/+6You should have said nascar instead of football.
- GhostyBoy, on 05/28/2008, -1/+5Yes. Really.
Evolution, by it's very definition is the process that has granted humans the intellectual capabilities that we have.
The bible has convinced a massive number of people to believe in zombies and talking snakes. - SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -0/+4Wow, namecalling "***** moron" while hiding behind a computer over the Inner-net. You sound really "intelligent"! Let me guess: you're so smart you let the controlled media & corporate talking pundits decide your candidate for you?
- pintomp3, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4he didn't vote for it. he sponsored it.
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-h1094/show
he also defended the governments right to tell you what you can or cannot do in the bedroom:
"Consider the Lawrence case decided by the Supreme Court in June. The Court determined that Texas had no right to establish its own standards for private sexual conduct, because gay sodomy is somehow protected under the 14th amendment “right to privacy.” Ridiculous as sodomy laws may be, there clearly is no right to privacy nor sodomy found anywhere in the Constitution. There are, however, states’ rights – rights plainly affirmed in the Ninth and Tenth amendments. Under those amendments, the State of Texas has the right to decide for itself how to regulate social matters like sex, using its own local standards."

so much for "dr. freedom" - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -5/+9Didn't Ron Paul vote on some kind of federal anti-abortion bill? Isn't that against his "philosophy"?
That and he submitted that bill that would define life at conception and give the same rights we have to zygotes.
A little to right-wing-christian for me.
So while I am sure he intends well, thanks, but no thanks. - trenchcoat, on 05/28/2008, -2/+5I thought liberals were supposed to be tolerant of all ideas.
- SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3in·car·nate:
To personify. personified or typified, as a quality or idea. To put into or represent in a concrete form.
To be the embodiment or type of.
To realize in action or fact; actualize: a candidate that incarnates a current presidents ideals.
HTH, - xbxbxb, on 05/28/2008, -4/+7And how many times did Obama actually vote on an issue other than just "present"?
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -4/+7"NWO big government party"?
Sometimes the conspiritard stereotypes write themselves... - mal1964, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3So can skip your job duties 41.8% percent of the time over a year and a half, Because you are interviewing for new job? Would your boss let you do that?
- mal1964, on 05/28/2008, -3/+6#3 Missed Votes 41.8% Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)
* Votes: 241 votes missed (41.8%), 336 votes cast
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/se ... - Exbzurq, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3"but the idea is to vote for someone who might actually win."
I never understood this logic. What do you gain by voting for the person who wins instead of the person you want? -
