Well, perhaps, we can replace him the next time around… I think that the next time he is up for re-election is 2010. If he isn’t that interested in being Arizona’s senator anymore, maybe Janet Napolitano will be ready to run against him then. That way, he can be a 2 time loser at the end of his political career.

“3 Liberals”?

None of them are liberal.

60 – Excuse me, but *3* liberals…?

If you’re including McClone in that count, you’ve either got to be a true fascist or a complete retard.

You pick.

Add to the havoc the probable demise by natural death in mid term of a such an old character.

McStain will be a worse president than Bush. Hard to believe, but true. He is extraordinarily lazy, and beholden to lobbyists of all stripes. he has no idea of foreign policy, and will gladly hand the reigns over to the PNAC monsters, as Bush did. No democrat alive could wreak the havoc McCain is sure to.

I see McCampaign is following suit with the Clinton/Obama camp.

McCain is just prepping himself for delivering on his campaign promise of a third Bush term.

After all, he’d have to vacation for at least 57% of those four years too, wouldn’t he? Isn’t that the type of “leadership” precedent that Chimpy has established?

So you’re telling me that the good Senator actively campaigned for a job, accepted the job, got sworn into the job, and is getting paid for the job. The job of Senator is a cornerstone (in a 3-part system) of our democratic process.

But he isn’t doing the job and doesn’t see the job as important.

1) Of course, Shrub has taken how many days of vacation- doesn’t sound like Prez is all that important either. And from his record in the Senate, looks like McCain is working to beat Shrub’s vacation record.

2) With the large powergrab of the executive branch moving congress into a far less powerful position, perhaps Senator isn’t that important to a repub ? Anyone can be a yes man.

If they donâ€™t, or if any candidate uses the campaign as an excuse to avoid taking a position on a critical issue when the other candidates come through, this WILL matter.
Comment by missmolly

It also matters, missmolly, that he has missed 57% of the votes since January, 2007. That is a horrible record. As a matter of fact, it is the worst record in the entire Senate. His is even worse than Tim Johnson’s and he was out because he almost died.

I hope that the Democrats make this a real issue in the campaign. If he has missed that many days in the Senate, one would expect he will be a president like Bush who has been on vacation for more than a year out of his 7 years in office.

How many of you would still have a job if you missed 57% of your working days?

Realistically, this is very common. I know its fun to bash McCain.

Comment by ForTruth â€” March 6, 2008 @ 11:21 am

True and he has certainly done a lot worse. McCain is not so much lazy as he is misguided.

They are paid to represent their constituents with their votes. Its a shame the process of running for president consumes so much of their time. There should be a way of voting by proxy, or remote voting.

I agree. I also think that they need to go back to Washington to vote on the bills that truly matter. Many bills are not close and are not of great significance. But bills like budgeting money for the Iraq occupation or bills that take away our rights, those definitely need to be voted on.

I find it interesting that the McCain representative admitted that McBush won’t vote on certain things because they are “politically sensitive” which means those votes would show him to be the panderer that he truly is.

Hey, I’d be happy if all the Republicans quit showing up for work and voting.

Works for me.

Seems to me that if one is currently holding public office, one should not be able to campaign for another office. Running for office is a very time consuming activity.
Don’t you think that the candidates would be able to perform more efficiently on the campaign trail if they didn’t have to worry about votes and stuff – and vice-versa?
