Senator McCain comes across, in my opinion, as even more of a whiner
than usual. He should be concentrating on explaining how he'll get our
country into better shape. Instead, he pathetically tries to convince
us that Senator Obama is in some way like Paris Hilton and Britney
Spears. Either that or he's pandering to the younger voters by
showing these two women he thinks they admire.
When Senator Obama was out of the country, Senator McCain tried his
best to put the media spotlight back on himself by "leaking" he'd be
picking his running mate that week. That was almost as sad as
watching him laugh at his own jokes.

He is a pathetic old fool that cannot stand not being the center of
attention (and this I was told by a doctor that knows him personally).

I don't know what's wrong with the people running his campaign! This kind
of thing is just a waste of money, IMO. The only people who are going to be
taken with it are people who were planning on voting for him anyway, and I'm
sure some of them will think it's pointless, too.
I've seen this headline in several places over the last couple of days, and
it's left me wondering what the man can be thinking (or is he?):

One swallow does not a summer make.
The doctor you mentioned knows him and doesn't like him, there are thousands
of people who know him and do like him. I'm not sure I've ever known of any
political candidate who doesn't want to be the center of attention. I've
never called any of the a pathetic old fool though.

<< That was almost as sad as watching him laugh at his own jokes. >>
I agree Judity, but what is even sadder and frightening is that anyone
would vote for him. I understand he has the worst congressional voting
record of any senator from Arizona. More absences than than voting. How
could anyone expect him to run the whole country if as a senator his
record is of being "absent" or just plain not voting on issues. If he
was present in congress to vote I might disagree with his vote but he
would have my respect for at least showing up and taking care of the
business for which he was elected and is being paid to do. If I was his
boss I would fire him. The best I can to is not vote for him either for
president or for another term as senator from Arizona.

((I don't think Obama's record is exactly stellar either. )
Isn't that a quite a commentary on what we're being offered as our
next President? Once again, we get the chance to vote for the less
offensive of two politicians. Now, I guess, it's up to what people
will be chosen as their running mates.
I'm hoping the Democrats chose Senator Biden from Delaware. Do any of
you remember him from the Anita Hill - Clarence Thomas debate?

Yes, I'm not particularly thrilled with McCain as my party's choice. My
only hope is that his V.P. will be a wise choice. Be that as it may, I
would vote for nearly any Republican over nearly any Democrat because
the beliefs of both parties are so far apart and, IMO, the general
Democrat philosophies are just plain wrong - mostly because of their
idea that people who actually earn their money should subsidize those
who won't. Notice I said won't, not can't.

I felt the same way in the 1976 elections. Jimmy Carter versus Gerald
Ford. |

Good site. I noted that the figures presented initially are only for
the current Congress. I also noted, on a quick glance, that Senator
McCain's missed votes are mostly for issues that his party passed or
both parties agreed upon. Several that were passed by majority Democrat
were simply motions to end debate on a bill. The same applies to
Obama's record. If you look at the details of each one, neither missed
votes that weren't going pass or fail by their party based on their
individual presence. Also, the details of each bill are not given so,
although a bill may appear to be good in general, perhaps too much pork,
or too many strings, were attached. I also noted that McCain's record
goes back to 2001. Obama's record goes back to April of 2005. McCain
has been in public service since 1982, and he missed significantly fewer
votes from 2001 to 2007, anywhere from 5 to 26.
