McCain is still looking for blacks in South Philly. He wants to apologize for not voting for the 1990 Civil Rights Act and voting against a Holiday for Dr. King. If McCain had it his way all the immigrants would be sent home and blacks would be doing their jobs. Look for Obama to move out of the Country as he wasn’t raised that way in Hawaii. He was told about the hardships of Black Americans from Slavery to the passing of the Civil Rights Bill by his Minister. His Father isn’t an American he’s an African from Africa. His Mother didn’t deal with the problems of other races in the USA.
Now maybe McCain could give him a history lesson on America from 1937 to 1973 as Obama came back to the US when he was 12 years old.

RRRW – that is a very handy list. A lot to print for reference. Readers may want to copy and save it to their hard drive.

McCain has a worse record than a guy who had a near-fatal brain hemorrhage! That’s a campaign note for the Dems!

Let’s see… First, Grampa McSame apologized to minorities in Memphis for not voting for MLK hoilday. Then, he went to sniff out for votes from black voters in south Philly. Now, he disses the vote for pay discrimination. Heckava job, John.

Actually, Sparks, I think it’s a matter of glass houses. The Dems can’t ding him for not showing up for votes, because they’ve both done it, repeatedly.

If he doesn’t fulfill his responsibilites and obligations as a Sentor why would anyone expect him to fulfill the obligations and reponsibilites of a President. The Democratic
candidates should make a BIG issue of this. Oh wait…they can’t…press won’t cover it..

Wow! McCain’s a regular Dan Quayle who set a record during his “freshman” year! Looks like McBush will be the next AWOL.

So are we thinking he’ll use brain damage as an excuse for all of his crazy flip-flopping? Poor Grampy McCain.

Are we sure he doesn’t have some sort of brain injury as well?

If he voted he’d vote against it that’s why he’s not voting. He doesn’t want that vote following him on the campaign trail.

Ooooh, he was just having a senior moment. Better stop giving the senile old coot a hard time, or you’ll piss him off.

Or whatever. :o/ Pass the coffee!

I bet he’d schlep his wrinkly old a$$ to D.C. if there were impending votes on capital gains or estate taxes. Or any other tax cuts.

He treats pay discrimination for women the same as the GI Bill completely insignificant. That is how much we mean to John McCain. All in a days work for a Republican.

When somebody is running for president, I can understand why their attention to their day job can fall by the wayside.

When that someone is a Senator, I don’t expect them to be present for every single vote (resolutions to honor fishermen or bills expected to pass easily can be skipped), but I DO expect them to show up and vote one way or the other on any bill of substance where the vote is expected to be even sort of close.

This bill is an important one, and is necessary to right an absurd wrong. All three major candidates for president are Senators. The two who are in the deepest competition can manage to break away from the race to vote. Why can’t McCain, who’s basically coasting until he gets an opponent?

Unless this bill is expected to pass 98-2 or something, McCain really needs to get his butt up to Capitol Hill and support this.

As far as I’m concerned, skipping this vote means he’s FOR this – he just doesn’t want to have to explain why he voted for it.

Or against it, for that matter, the limpdick.

McSame could careless about equal pay or equal healthcare, he got his, you can just go “F” yourself as far as he is concerned.

It helps that he doesn’t give a damn about equal pay, or womens’ rights in general. When the vote’s important to HIM, he shows up.

McCain will skip the vote. McCain has missed more Senate votes than any other presidential candidate.

This includes Senator Tim Johnson who was on his sickbed for, what, 8 months?

McCain’s voting record is disgraceful. I also think it is an indication of his stamina. He’s too old to be getting on a plane to fly back to Washington to make an important vote.
