@cicerone imposter,
continued from above:

Quote:
Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipped the Senate’s vote on the economic stimulus package, which fell just one vote short of the 60 needed to end debate.

On the stump, McCain has repeatedly claimed that passing a package was a priority for him. Yet his missed vote yesterday was not an accident due to a late flight or scheduling conflict. It was deliberate. Some evidence:

1. He was already thinking about skipping the vote yesterday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, hours before the vote, he hinted to reporters that he might not return to the Senate that evening. “I haven’t had a chance to talk about it at all, have not had the opportunity to, even,” McCain said. “We’ve just been too busy, focused on other stuff. I don’t know if I’m doing that.”

2. His plane landed in DC with plenty of time to make the vote. McCain’s plane landed at Dulles Airport at 5:00 p.m., “leaving plenty of time to make the 5:45 p.m. make or break procedural vote.”

3. The other senators on his plane returned for the vote. ThinkProgress has confirmed with Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-CT) office that both he and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) were on the same plane with McCain. Yet both Lieberman and Graham returned to the Senate in time to cast votes. (Lieberman voted for the stimulus, Graham voted against.)

McCain’s move was certainly not a profile in courage. His spokeswoman said that the senator would have voted against the package anyway. By missing the vote, however, he didn’t have to go on record denying benefits to 20 million seniors and 250,000 disabled vets " both key blocs of support for his campaign.

As ABC’s Jake Tapper notes, “In fact, in the 110th Congress, out of 450 votes, McCain missed 56.7% of them. The only one who missed more was a senator who had a brain hemmorhage.”

@mysteryman,
I see you are still a proud literalist. OK, McCain is only 90% responsible for Bush's failed policies.

@Advocate,
Actually, he isnt responsible for any of them.
Bush is, since they were his policies.
And lets not forget that some prominent dems also supported some of those failed policies.

Am I a literalist?
I dont know.
But I do believe that words mean things, so if you write something then you should either frame your words more carefully or make sure of what you are writing.

l. If Tapper wrote that, he is not a good speller. There is only one m in hemorrhage and there are two r's. I think the brain dead CI wrote it.


2. Is Tapper referring to Ted Kennedy? He missed a great many votes especially when he was hung over.

No, he's not a good speller, if he wrote it, but I am sure that he did not write it. The brain dead CI wrote it, as I pointed out in my post.

Care to document the distortions? Or can you? Or is it merely your perception, teeny? Just a challenge for you to see what in the world you may think is a distortion?

@okie,
One of the first clues about ignorance, it seems to me, Okie,is the inability to buttress your remarks with at least an attempt at proof through evidence or documentation. If that ignorance is noted, a response like yours is perfect.

Obama has a great deal of experience:

l. He has gone through the experience of having his drunken father from Kenya( who was a Muslim)desert his mother and family when he was young.

That was Some experience.

2. He has gone through the experience of having his mother remarry a Muslim from Indonesia.

3, He has gone through the experience of attending a Moslem School in Indonesia for at least one year.

4. He has had experience with cocaine and other drugs( he admitted it in his autobiography.

5. He has had the experience of having some fine mentors--The most prominent of which was a person who had been a card carrying Communist.

6. He has had the experience of going to an obscure college on the West Coast --Occidental( from which no one can obtain a clear story of his success( or failure) there

7. He has had the experience of going to Columbia after Occidental. IT IS TO BE CLEARLY NOTED THAT HIS GRADES AT COLUMBIA WERE NOT, I REPEAT, WERE NOT, HIGH ENOUGH TO GIVE HIM AN ENTRY INTO HARVARD LAW SCHOOL EVEN IF HE SCORED A PERFECT SCORE ON HIS LSAT.( He is, of course, a beneficiary of Affirmative Action--his vaunted promise about 'transparency" does not hold in this regard.

8. He worked for a time in a large Chicago Law Firm. He has had experience in a large law firm but he either thought he was set for higher things or he did not feel he would be able to meet the rigorous demands of a top law firm.

9. He had the experience of being trained for his job by acolytes of Saul Alinsky-the famous Socialist.

10. He had the experience of working in the Ghetto( I am sure that he has a great deal of empathy for the "brothers and sisters" in the Ghetto but I do not think he ever worked with any other ethnic group.

11. He had the experience of being appointed to several Boards by the esteemed former "Weatherman" bomber, William Ayres.

12. He had the experience, while on that Board, of voting to give thousands of dollars to GUESS WHO? ACORN!!!

13. He had the experience of wheeling and dealing his way through the Primary for Senator while his "brothers" in the Legislature saw to it that he had no real opposition.

14. He had the experience of doing almost nothing--introduced no major bills--when he was in the Senate.

15. He had the experience of being identified as the MOST LIBERAL Senator in the Senate.

16. He had the experience of running for President while calling for all out voting help from ACORN.

17. He had the experience of winning the Presidency despite the fact that the majority of white voters did not vote for him.

18. And, now, he has the experience of being president where he has put into motion initiatives which will ruin the country--massive deficits--irrational plans to Socialize Medical care-a very very expensive proposition which will cost Billions---unwise attempts to cut the so-called global warming even though China and India will not cooperate and the US will lose millions of jobs if Obama's plans were enacted--and, last but not least, free( meaning taxpayer subsidized) education for all --even minorities, many of whom cannot read or write when they leave high school.

SO, I AM SORRY, OKIE, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. OBAMA HAS PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE --THE WRONG KIND!

*****************************************

A wonderful thing--Peace. May I suggest that you communicate with the President of the United States and ask him why he is keeping thousands of Soldiers in Iraq and sending more to Afghanistan. He may have told a TINY LITTLE FIB when he was campaigning for office about his desire to bring all of our troops home forthwith.

God knows the pain that women have to endure just to give birth.

Interesting! What does your husband think about that?

Advocate, you must be pretty lonely these days. You hate conservatives, but your own friends and fellow political allies are stabbing you in the back, throwing Israel overboard, etc. I think you need to do alot of soul searching to try to find some answers to the mess you are in.

Your list is pretty good. I noticed the above one, and have you heard some of the things Wright is quoted lately. He is on the Jew thing again, accusing the Jews of not letting Obama speak out. Another quote I noticed a while back, he said something to Obama about not letting the presidency change his true convictions, which seems to pretty clearly indicate Obama probably agrees with Wright about hating Jews, capitalism, rich white people, and all the rest of his hate mongering, black liberation theology, marxism, etc., but Obama cannot say so right now. He has to be president, but Wright hopes that doing that will not change his true convictions, probably much like Wright's convictions, otherwise why would Wright hope he wouldn't change them?

Oh for a little honesty out of Obama, wouldn't that be nice, and all of this could have been cleared up before the election, but now we have to live with this fraud.

How ironic Possum, after your failed attempt at the debate you wanted to have with me. You didn't provide any evidence. You only provided speculation and pretended that if the speculation wasn't rebutted then it must be true.

Maybe you should learn something Possum before you accuse others of ignorance.

@genoves,
I prefer the word "idiot" when it comes to describing you Possum.

As to your use of the word "niggardly", perhaps you should learn how to use it correctly. While I realize you are attempting to pretend you aren't using it in a racist fashion, your failure to use it correctly shows you don't have a clue what it really means and therefore are using it as a slur.

It's "denigrate", Possum. Making it into 2 words is nothing but an idiotic attempt on your part to make it seem racist while leaving yourself an out to claim you didn't mean to do that. If you had only used it that way once, I might allow you to claim you had mistyped it but when you use it more than once you lose the ability to claim you didn't realize it.

So Possum, when are you going to stop being so idiotic and ignorant? Repeating the same unsubstantiated crap when you attack others for not providing support only shows you for what you are.

Thats waaaay over the top, and totally uncalled for.
Just because you dont like him or agree with him (and neither do I), doesnt mean that someone somewhere loves him.

For you to make the comment you made is beneath you, and IMHO you should apologize.
