After Trying To Steal Credit For Webb’s GI Bill, McCain Skips The Vote And Instead Chows Down On Chili In Ohio

Earlier this month, House leaders struck a deal to push forward with Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) GI Bill, which expanded generous educational benefits for veterans. The House deal also included a provision allowing troops to transfer the benefits to family members.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was one of the most vocal opponents of Webb’s bill, claiming it was too generous and would lead to a drop in military retention. Yet when the House deal was announced, McCain tried to take credit for it:

With the addition of the transferability provisions sought by Senators Graham, Burr, myself and others to give service members the right to transfer earned G.I. Bill benefits to spouses and children, we will have achieved in offering vastly improved educational benefit.

As if trying to steal credit for Webb’s GI Bill wasn’t bad enough, McCain yesterday skipped the Senate vote on the legislation, which passed 92-6. The only other senator not present for the vote was Ted Kennedy (D-MA), who is battling a brain tumor.

What was McCain doing instead yesterday? In addition to holding a town hall meeting at Xavier University in Cincinnati, he also took some time to chow down at Skyline Chili:

McCain has not voted in the Senate since April 8 and has missed 367 votes (61.4 percent) during the current Congress.

Update Steve Benen asks, "What does McCain mean by ‘we’?"

    And when the news media get finished with this story, McCain will have been the original sponsor – and his opposition to it, and failure to vote on it won’t even be mentioned. (Webb won’t be mentioned at all, in connection with it.) Just like when he was opposing the anti-torture bill, and encouraging Bush to veto it – but tv news said he sponsored and voted FOR it. News people project onto McCain what they WANT him to be, and ignore what he is – Bush’s clone.

    Grampy McSame says – My friends back in the day we didn’t need education for our guys, no sir, not at all, why we would gather our best sticks and rocks and make our own stone tablets to learn from, why a close friend of mine invented fire, now a days we all know how to make fire, and that’s how we make chili, yummy chili, I like lots of beans in my chili, and they didn’t have beans in that GI Bill, so I didn’t vote for it, no sir, I went somewhere where they had beans, and I love my beans, so I voted on a bowl of chili, that’s what I did, not those loafer Iraq GI’s, they are soft and lazy freeloaders, and who needs all those limbs anyway…uh, oh… I think I sat in a bowl of chili…I hope.

    You really are making so much more sense today grampy.


  16. RUCerious says:

    Don’t expect McIIIrd to show up in the Senate until late November. The job of running for president takes a full five days a week, weekends off. You’d think with polls showing him losing by double digits in key Mid-Northern states that he’d at least start working weekends, like millions of Americans have to do to make ends meet.
    Not that he’s an elitist or anything.


  17. paleolib says:

    I still think the country is better off with McNutzi not voting — especially since his long absence give Obama a good comback when McNutzi tries to use his “vast time in the senate” as an advantage. Would prefer that he find another city to haunt tho’


  18. RUCerious says:

    Oh, yeah, and McIIIrd supports the troops, as long as that support involves stealing credit for something he had no hand in crafting, and failing to show up to vote for it.


  19. lokidog says:

    I see Obama made a special trip to give it a vote

    Proving how easy it is to show your support for those serving and just how much the lying piece of sh*t McCain doesn’t and is nothing but all talk and no action.


  20. misshusseinmolly says:

    To be perfectly fair, this measure didn’t really need McCain’s vote to pass or fail. When one is busy running for president, I can excuse missing votes except when the vote is going to be close and one vote would really make a difference.

    That said, however — McCain’s behavior still disturbs me. He first co-sponsored the Webb bill, then became non-committal when asked about his support. Then after an unusually long time of not commenting, he came out against it because he claimed it would lead to our troops leaving the military in droves. Then he tried to claim credit for it. And then didn’t bother to show his support by voting for it, even though his opponent (also running for president) managed to carve some time out of his schedule for it.

    This is more than just missing a vote. This is attempting to pander to so many different people while at the same time refusing to get nailed down. McCain has moved from flip-flopping to playing dodge ball.

    I commend the one’s who opposed it as it would have been very politically easy to vote for it. I think McCain had a great reason to not vote In favor of it . I see Obama made a special trip to give it a vote. Very Surprising because Obama as been absent from voting all the way back until June 4th.

    I guess he found all these bill’s not that important to show up and vote Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to Consider H.R. 6049; Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008, Bond Amdt. No. 4986 As Modified; To clarify that GSEs have no responsibility for funding housing entities under the Affordable Housing program.

    Typical empty suite politician!!

    Wow. And I thought rogerse was stupid.

    Yeah, it tends to be “politically easy” to vote in favor of bills that have wide public support and that address problems with the way BushCo has treated the military.

    And yes, it does take political courage to vote against the bills.

    But you say “I think McCain had a great reason to not vote In favor of it .”

    Yet McCain DIDN’T vote against it. He just didn’t vote ON it.

    And if he had such a great reason to vote against it, why is he trying to take credit for the bill’s passage?

    Sheesh. Can we get any smarter trolls, please?


  22. sectionop92 says:

    S_Mart

    Yeah, McCain is finding lots of “good” reasons for not showing up to vote. He’s stuffing “Benjamin’s” in his trousers like he’s on a game show and put in a tornado machine with the money flying about, knowing he can keep what he still has on him after 30 seconds.


  23. belac says:

    Empty Suite? Has Obama not spent enough time in the Marriot for you?

    ________________________________________________

    I suspect that the reason McCain can’t tie his own chili bib is the same reason why he can’t comb his own hair. Vietnam POW injuries have left him unable to raise his arms above his head.

    Let’s not hit below the belt here.

    On the other hand, what was the bib for? He’s not even wearing it in the second picture — the one showing him actually eating the chili. I suspect it was for some photo-op — Cincinnati’s Skyline Chili is supposed to be a noteworthy place.


  42. sectionop92 says:

    belac

    McCain is hoping no one (speaking about the general public) will notice he wasn’t in the Senate at those times. Sort of a reverse “Where’s Waldo”.


  43. pete says:

    It’s not gonna work here rog. Give it up.

    McPander Bear went so far as to offer competing legislation rather than letting his idiotic base think he supported a “Democrat’s bill”. Regardless of the merit or necessity of that bill. It just might be the stupidest thing that ANY candidate has done in this campaign and I certainly hope our fine young people in uniform learn the truth about how he tried to sell them out for a few radical votes. His conduct regarding this bill is beneath contempt.

    Kerry asks for transfer to riverboats, most dangerous duty in the navy, risks his life to save a crewmember under fire and testifies before hostile Congress about Vietnam = cheap showmanship and lies…

    Huh? You are criticizing Obama for his voting record when he has voted more often and more recently than McCain? This makes no sense even by troll standards.

    So sad to see a troll derail like this. Take some time out, have an iced tea, gather your thoughts together, and start over.


  59. The Shadow says:

    I’m a veteran so that gives me a pass on what I’m about to say about John McCain. He made disloyal statements to the enemy during his captivity and the other prisoners didn’t. I can’t say that I wouldn’t have done the same thing, but he media doesn’t want you to know that he confessed to bombing women, children, and civilian targets. Of course that wasn’t true, but if Obama had done it, the Republicans would be attacking him as a COWARD. Don’t believe it? Look at what they did to John Kerry. He was as much of a hero or more so than McCain, but they made him out to be a coward. The truth of the matter was that George Bush is a coward who avoided war in Viet Nam.

    So my point is, John McCain signed a forced confession while other prisorners who were tortured didn’t. As a matter of fact Admiral John Stockdale, who recently died, as was one of the first pilots shot down during the war survived for 8 years in a POW camp. He was tortured, and beaten daily, yet he refused to confess to anything. He was Ross Perot’s running mate if you don’t recall who he was. He was also John McCain’s commanding officer in the POW camp. If fact some of the other POW recented what McCain did, but said that they understood.

    Even John McCain has said he was ashamed at having signed a false confession because the other prisoners didn’t and they looked down on him for doing so. So is John McCain a hero? Yes he is, but if the stories where reversed, would the be allowing his party to attack Obama for signed a false confession? I believe he would because he stood listen when his party falsely and shamlessly attack his good friend Sen. John Kerry as a coward. How could a man of honor stand silent when he knows the so called “swift boat vets” were lying through their teeth. John McCain and John Kerry had been really really close friend before the 2004 elections. The silence from John McCain who knew better, speakes volumes about his character. He put party first and his honor is permanently destroyed as far as I’m concerned.

    I’d never ever vote for him because he has NO HONOR.

    BTW. The cocoa genome project, while it’s being coordinated by the government, has many partners including other governments and corporations including IBM. The reason is to study diseases and other issues with the world cocoa crop. Cocoa, in all it’s uses, is a huge international industry and the whole thing depends on a heavily domesticated and vulnerable plant. They are hoping to avoid a disaster like those which have hit so many crops, from potatoes to grapes, in the past. Spending 10 million up front, to save billions in the future, just makes good sense. It appears that some government employees, seeing the immenent departure of the Incompetent in Chief, are starting to do their jobs again.

    Breaking news from the British Journal of Nutsology.
    It is now a proven scientific fact that being republican is proof positive of insanity says Dr Elmwood Futherthom.
    All republicans should be treated, and some can recover.
    However die hard bush supporters are beyond help and should be quarantined as soon as possible for the greater good of humanity; these people have lost all signs of being human and have become a danger to themselves and others. If republicans are spotted in your area they should be pointed out to local mental health professionals. The sooner the better. That is all.

    Posting a picture of someone tying a bib on McCain is pretty low TP, considering he can’t raise his arms because the torture he endured as a POW.
