McCain - I want EVERYONE to know this

[jillan]

He didn't vote today - In fact, he hasn't voted on anything for the last month.
Maybe longer. I live in Arizona and every Sunday in the paper there is a section on how our elected representatives voted. And for McCain - It's always DID NOT VOTE!

Let everyone know. McCain doesn't give a crap about the soldiers, the environment, spending... or anything else the Senate voted on over the last month!

1. Votes on the main Veterans Issues has been NO or Not There

2. McCain't lost all credibility a while ago...

His abysmal record on veterans support is legendary. He says he would return to the Baghdad market without any flak jacket or protection...and I would suggest he do just that.

3. What do you think is the major reason for this?

Is it because he is too busy campaigning, or he doesn't have the courage to go on record with a vote one way or the other? Maybe you have some insight on this as a resident of his state.

4. I don't know!!!

A little of both???

It has to be one or the other because it is certainetly not his health. He has no problem making it to campaign stops

John McCain.

6. Remember back when Kerry was running for the presidency.

Remember every time he missed a vote the MSM picked it up. Remember they had an article where they wanted his pay docked for not showing up to vote or debate in the senate. WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE BY THE MSM NOW?????

8. The corporate media ain't about being fair nor consistent......

Their outrage is always, always selective!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

18. and it's a ridiculous criticism for Kerry or McCain

Sorry but if your vote really will make a difference you'll be there, and your party leaders make sure you're there. This is unfair smearing of the candidates.
Edwards and Kerry both missed a lot of votes but THEY DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

10. McCain hasn't voted since January. That's the last I remember...

I have a question for John McCain. Does he believe that he would have made it out alive (as a POW) with someone like B*sh in charge?

Nevermind. I think WE ALL know the answer to that question.

11. Folks in AZ should "fire" him for poor performance. Recommended

[Cameron27]

12. He doesn't care about anything but himself.

He's nothing but a pandering opportunist, who'll say anything to get elected.

[jillan]

13. Going back since mid March

He voted 33 times out of a possible 68 votes.

Less than 1/2.

Time for a ltte!

14. Thanks for the info. What is incredible is that of all the GOPers

in the 2008 race (mainstream ones anyway), McCain is the least bad. Pathetic, isn't it? That's how bad the Republican party is. Guiliani and Romney trying to outdo each other on who would torture more. Ye Gods.

Um, McCain has no excuse not to vote. No excuse at all. It's still very early in the '08 race.

15. k/r

[TankLV]

16. McCaine - AWOL - just like his brain after he was a POW...

The dude isn't fit to be dogcatcher, let alone senator...

He is a seriously mixed up mental case - and everyone is afraid to say so...

[IronLionZion]

17. NO MORE LEGISLATORS!!!

That's why we need to run a governor or general or former VP! Let's nitpick their votes and bash them for not doing their jobs but still taking your and my tax dollars.

Bash him to death with this. McCain is likely to be their nominee (GOP primaries are always just for show, the candidate is always picked for them) so let's take him down hard.

[UnyieldingHierophant]

19. Then I'm not going to vote for him!
