Graham criticizes Obama for missing too many Senate votes.

Graham criticizes Obama for missing too many Senate votes.
Today on ABC This Week, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for being absent for so many Senate roll call votes, saying that “Sen. Obama’s been gone more than he’s been here.” Watch it:
Of course, Graham failed to mention that his candidate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) remains the most absent member of the Senate, beating even Obama. McCain has missed 63.8 percent of the votes in the 110th Congress; Obama has missed 45.5 percent. Some of the crucial votes that McCain has missed have been on energy and the GI Bill, which Obama has been present for.

But McCain was a POW!
August 31st, 2008 at 3:52 pmHow does this guy retain office?
He is a complete idiot, willing to say anything regardless of how ridiculous he appears.
A serious betrayal of confidence of American (S.C.) voters!
August 31st, 2008 at 3:55 pmDid the reporter even bother to correct Graham about the record?
McCain is the most absent Senator, since one senator who had brain surgury and another one with a brain tumor have showed to vote more than McCain, does Graham really want to go there?
And he’s not all there, even if he is there.
August 31st, 2008 at 3:56 pmSarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]
August 31st, 2008 at 3:57 pmTo fight back Obama just needs to repeat these words from John McCain’s book in regards to making “fast, instinctive and sometimes risky decisions”:
Is that the kind of philosophy we want leading our country?
August 31st, 2008 at 4:03 pmThese frauds will resort to every type of lie in their desperation.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:03 pmWayne,
EXACTLY!
The MSM is complicit when they set up Q&A’s without doing their research FIRST on what the REAL answers are so that they are armed WITH the truth so when Pukes like Sissy Graham spew their lies they can be B!tch slapped into yesterday.
These Corporate surrogates invite these legislators and Senators on for a soap box appearance. These talking deadhead corporate surrogates get paid to NOT be investigative. They get paid to appear to care, but that buck stops there.
Stalin couldn’t have a more fiercely Loyal bunch of Propagandists working for him.

August 31st, 2008 at 4:06 pmIs Graham retarded ?
Has he been tested ?
Even disregarding McDepends’ bigger absentee record , his record regarding so-called issues that he “cares about” , is even worse.
Hey Lindsey
How about your buddy’s blatant cowardice in not even bothering to show up to vote on Jim Webb’s GI Bill ?

That has been known for months in Alaska.
No one in the MSM is going to question the official story, you can be sure. The episode fits into the category of things that get swept under the rug in polite society (that is not to mean that the USA is a polite society, but that is the reason that MSM editors have killed the speculation).
This isn’t like lying a country into a war.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:08 pm.
Sissy Graham on Pailn:
Raw - Raw - Shis-com-bah!!!
.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:10 pmGraham is employing the Republican Party’s tactic of not letting facts get in the way of a good talking point.
Show me an honest Republican, and I’ll show you a person very unhappy to be a Republican today.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:14 pmWell we are certainly not polite when it comes to Limbaugh, Hannity, and Oh Really talking about many things…not to mention: Obama and ________you fill in the blank.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:14 pmAnd, of course, the person interviewing him didn’t call him on his BS. I am so sick and tired of these talking heads covering for McBush.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:14 pmIn order to be a Bush/McCain “Republican”, you have to be willing to suspend your belief in reason, intelligence, honesty and morality. You have to be self-deluding, willfully ignorant, dishonest and hypocritical. Anyone who believes that John McCain believes Sarah Polin is the most qualified Republican to be the President of the United States in the the event he dies or becomes incapacitated, needs to recognize that what John McCain is trying to sell Americans is that Joe Lieberaman, Tom Ridge, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul and Lindsey Graham and every Republican Senator and Representative in Congress are ALL LESS QUALIFIED to be President than Sarah Polin is. To believe that, you have to be irrational, stupid, gullible and or a liar!
August 31st, 2008 at 4:19 pmThis seems like a silly thing for a presidential candidate in the Senate to talk about.
McCain, Obama, Hillary - all are on here and for good reason. They’ve spent a significant portion of their term running their campaigns. It’s to be expected.
Smart money says all candidates should STFU about this… it’s just what happens when a Senator or Representative runs.

It is even sillier for McCain and his sockpuppets to harp on this, because he was the most absent senator even before the elections started 18 mo ago.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:27 pm.
Absent is as absent minded does… Eh Sissy Grahm?

August 31st, 2008 at 4:30 pmdfletcher Says:
You are right in concept, but the real story here is the hypocrisy and outright misconstruing of the facts by Linseed that is important. Unless the Repugs are sure that they won’t be called on their bullshit, they will keep repeating their crapola and many of the 23%ers will continue to believe them.
Why didn’t someone remind Ms. Graham that McDepends has the worst attendance record in the Senate over the past 2 years, even on HIS OWN BILLS! Even Hillary and Obama showed up for most of the important ones.

WTF are you talking about. This is not about being polite, this is about LYING!
August 31st, 2008 at 4:33 pmWayne: it’s dangerous territory.
If you look at the overall records, McCain’s entire senate run vs. Obama’s, what you see is that Obama comes out on top of those numbers. Of course, the reason for that is he’s spent a higher percent of his time in senate *also* running for POTUS, whereas McCain has been in the Senate forever and only a small percent of his time spent campaigning for prez. The numbers will confuse people who don’t care to look deeper.
This feels like a very weak attack point, we have much better ammo.
Hurricane Gustav is a nice thing to be talking about right now ;-)
August 31st, 2008 at 4:34 pmGraham should go back in his closet.

Yea, about how the Repugs and BushCo don’t care about poor people and we will not hear how NcDepends and Dubya were eating cake when Katrina hit 3 years ago!
I bet Johnny Boy forgets to remind everyone about that.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:39 pmI almost feel sorry for the Reps. One would think that, eventually, they will realize that McSpin comes up lacking in any comparison to Sen. Obama.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:41 pmI know their tactic is to throw crap against the wall and expect some of it to stick, but doesn’t he know that if you throw it straight up in the air it comes back down?
Best for him to just go stay in the men’s room and wait for Larry Craig.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:44 pmSpeaks volumes about Graham’s “scum factor,” doesn’t it?
August 31st, 2008 at 4:47 pmGraham is is number 15 out of 100 for votes missed. Not a very good record to be calling names.
August 31st, 2008 at 4:48 pmGraham is an arrogant hick for a senator.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:05 pmYea, about how the Repugs and BushCo don’t care about poor people and we will not hear how NcDepends and Dubya were eating cake when Katrina hit 3 years ago!
My understanding is that they never actually ate that cake. No one did. After the photo was taken, the cake sat on a table and then was thrown away, uneaten. Which is actually worse, in a way. Kind of defeats the whole point of having the president fly in (at great taxpayer expense) to say “Happy Birthday.”

August 31st, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Well, McCain has spent more time in prison than Obama, so he wins in that category.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:07 pmThey will continue to lie and mislead as long as there are no adverse consequences. They’ve been doing it for all these years and it got them this far. You think in desparation they’ll suddenly start being truthful? I’ve thought they got more blatant after they realized impeachment was really never going to happen after ‘06. Just like this and the repeating of falsehoods, when they aren’t immediately called on it, that is what the ignorant audience takes away from the scene.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:09 pmIt’s official, McGrampa will give his acceptance speech from the storm area. Once again reich-wingers prove they are scumbags and will politicize even a tragedy. Losers.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:12 pmI agree, Bob. Once they knew impeachment wasn’t going to happen (to anyone), they got worse about their lying. Of course, they had to keep lying at that point, or they would have provided the Democrats with the evidence they needed to impeach them. (Again, any of them.)
August 31st, 2008 at 5:13 pm‘Desperation’ manifests itself in many funny ways…
August 31st, 2008 at 5:15 pmLindsey looked so pretty today.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:27 pmLindsey Graham, the biggest closet case in South Carolina, neglects to mention that McCain hasn’t been present in the Senate since April 8th. He has missed OVER 100 votes since that time. In no way has Obama come anywhere near that total. Also, Obama was there for many of the crucial votes this summer, such as improving veterans care and the extremely important Medicare vote. McCain has missed every single one of them.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:32 pmActually, Wayne and Bob, one could argue that the Bush administration was inevitable once Ford pardoned Nixon. Once the precedent was established, that a criminal President was immune from prosecution, we have seen a continued degradation of the standards expected of elected officials. And it’s not likely to change until we do prosecute criminal investigations of he highest officials.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:33 pmOops! “the highest officials”.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:34 pmpete Says:

I agree. Nothing would send a stronger message that in this country no one is above the law, than to have a president hauled off to jail for committing crimes, such as the ones committed by this president.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:41 pmIs this guy still in the closet?
August 31st, 2008 at 5:41 pmMcCain orders convention curtailed for Gustav
I was wondering how they were going to explain why no one shows up for their funeral….I mean convention.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:43 pmMaybe nobody misses McCain as he brings nothing to the discussion, whereas Obama would probably add something thoughtful and intelligent. Lindsey is just a GOP whiner.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:46 pmAt this stage, I think an actual verdict is unlikely. But, I would settle for the first “baby-step” of actually compelling the suspects to honor subpoenas. Nothing can happen until that first step and, until it’s taken, those who would abuse their power will just get more brazen.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:50 pmTo paraphrase the immortal words of Sherrif Bart…
They Desperate! THEY DESPERATE!~!
August 31st, 2008 at 5:50 pm“Can’t you see this is the last act of a desperate man?”
“We don’t care if it’s the first act of ‘Henry V’. We’re leaving.”
(Great movie, RUC.)
August 31st, 2008 at 5:53 pmI’m gonna’ start criticizing Graham for missing too many male hormones ……….
August 31st, 2008 at 5:54 pmGood point, pete. ‘All these years’ could be 40 or 20 or 8. Hmm, seems to be a pattern here. I wonder if there is any connection other than the same people with the same ideas.
It is interesting how the scandals all revolve around National Security and the consequence of letting Nixon off equates to ever-increasing the level of harm to the country. We went from selling a few arms to a war based on false information.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:55 pmI love this…
He cited Palin’s stint as governor of a “state that produces 20 percent of America’s energy” as well as her previous membership in the PTA and her time spent on the city council and in the mayor’s office in Wasilla,a town of fewer than 7,000 people outside Anchorage.
So being a member of the PTA is enough to be a vice President…Ok.
August 31st, 2008 at 5:56 pmI’m surprised no one tests Graham’s backbone for elasticity. Whenever I hear someone say he takes a hard stand on something, I swear 48 hours later his back is at least 120 degrees to the position of Bush or Cheney’s posterior.
August 31st, 2008 at 6:13 pmSeems sexist to me. I’ve been asking repubs whether they think she would have been nominated if she were a man with the exact same qualifications and of course they all must say no…..ergo, she was only nominated because she is a woman.
Women should be upset no matter which party they are in. This is insulting, but the gop has gotten past caring about such things, obviously.

August 31st, 2008 at 6:23 pmI think the only hope of breaking the pattern lies in prosecution because they’ve proven to permeate well enough to emerge after Democracy outs them through the true ‘Moral Majority’. I think that is why this administration was used so intricately to install party loyalists.
There will always be these half-truths in campaigning, but if we aren’t calling them for those petty things, they will keep deceiving us.

August 31st, 2008 at 6:30 pmYou know, if I missed as many days as McCain I would have been fired. Then again Arizona is pretty fed up with McCain.
I bet that McCain, if elected, beats the Bush vacation record by 30+ days.
August 31st, 2008 at 6:37 pmAny guesses as to which cabinet position this Graham Cracker is sucking up for? Secretary of Fashion? Ministry of Truth?
August 31st, 2008 at 6:39 pmFrom Juan Cole’s informed comment site:
‘ Forty Senators and 100 members of Congress visited New Orleans before he [McCain] did; he finally got there in March 2006. He voted against establishing a Congressional commission to examine the Federal, State, and local responses to Katrina in med-September 2005. He repeated that vote in 2006. He voted against allowing up to 52 weeks of unemployment benefits to people affected by the hurricane, and in 2006 voted against appropriating $109 billion in supplemental emergency funding, including $28 billion for hurricane relief.’

Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]
Very interesting story. If true, it should be known to the voters because it represents Palin’s willingness to lie to serve her own ambition. The Bridge to Nowhere that she actually supported, but claims now that she didn’t is one thing. But to claim you had a child, when you didn’t, and it is actually your daughter’s really would take the cake. Especially considering Palin’s anti-birth control stance and her right-wing Christian stance. No woman in her right mind would ignore her water breaking, especially a month earlier than a due date, to deliver a speech, then take an 8 hour flight back to Alaska, and then by-pass medical care in a facility that can handle high-risk births to supposedly deliver in a small hospital close to the town where she was mayor.
August 31st, 2008 at 6:52 pmYea but he’ll show that he can get electricity to give his acceptance speech when potentially thousands could be without. He’ll look like a salesman calling during a funeral. Couldn’t resist making a specticle? Now the rebuplicans have to pray for disaster again. You’re gonna get voice mail if you keep calling on Him like that.

Especially not a mother who had already had four children. I know many people who have had more than two children and the fact is that each succeeding delivery is quicker than the last. I have a friend who was having her third child and almost had the baby in a cab, less than an hour after labor started. Plus, the baby was supposedly 1 month early. Did she really care so little about the safety of her child that she was willing to risk flying 8 hours and then driving 45 minutes just so she could have the baby in Alaska in a hospital near the town she ruled for 4 years?
The whole thing stinks to high heaven. I really don’t care if her daughter had an out-of-wedlock child. I do care that Sarah Palin lied about being the mother and manipulated the system to try to cover it up.
I wonder if a doctor falsifying a birth certificate can get into trouble. Someone needs to look into that and then confront Palin’s physician. Or, Palin’s physician should be drummed out of the profession for supposedly giving permission to an 8 month pregnant woman, who already had 4 children, whose water had broken to fly 8 hours to get home for the birth. She should be prosecuted for malpractive.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:07 pmThat’s a weird story about the child. Her behavior seems unhealthy for the timing of flying and such. I thought late-term were not allowed to fly at all. Not even going into it not being her child, it seems irratic or fanatic.
This Palin (Poolin, no Poulin, Putin) seems like a real character. Who? What sort of new reality-variety show is this?
‘Electing and Living with the Psycho VP’
August 31st, 2008 at 7:17 pmMcCain has missed lot more votes than Obama, despite clinching the nomination in February while Obamas been busy campaigning the entire year, first fighting the Clinton juggernaut into June and from then on McCain and the right wing smear machine
This year McCain has missed 80% of the votes, Obama 57%.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:36 pmThere is no good reason why Graham continues to be a toady - he must be being blackmailed.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:51 pmAny respect he may have had as a former JAG officer has dissipated in the smoke that he blows out his behind.
galmud, and the topper is that McIIIrd hasn’t even been campaigning on weekends. He’s just lucking fazy.

August 31st, 2008 at 7:54 pmYou don’t really think George S challenged him do you?
McCain, the one who has not voted since April.
It was funny to watch the repugs make the selection of Palin a wise and good move.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:54 pmTPM is reporting that the local papers were NEVER called to provide any background information on Palin.
Perhaps the McIIIrd staffers thought ‘vetting’ meant seeing if Palin owned a Cor-vette.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:56 pmBob Says:

Apparently, Alaska Airlines is one of those that let the passengers decide if they should fly or not. If she flew on that airline, she would not have had to produce permission slips from her doctor.
Can anyone find documentation that she flew out of Dallas on Alaska Airlines? Because if she didn’t, it’s potentially another hole in her story.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:59 pmHere’s something to chew on.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:59 pmAt RealClearPolitics, they have a market.
Up till Palin’s nomination, Obama was running around 58 - 59 very steadily.
Since the nomination, he’s been over 60 steadily, today at 61% to 39.4%…
What do the bookies know?
Shouldn’t Lindsey be busy tapping his little loafers in the airport mensroom?
It’s gonna get REALLY busy by tomorrow……. oh wait…… their fabulous prom, “A night in guantanomo” was cancelled due to weather.
Who is going to take care of all those poor, crystal meth, man whores now?
August 31st, 2008 at 8:21 pmMaybe Palin’s flying commercial because that’s what she said she would do. She sold the governors jet to fight government waste. Check it out:

August 31st, 2008 at 9:10 pmObama never challenged his party to do whats right?
Lindsey, your a very shrill hack.
Maybe Obama’s party din’t need challenging because it was correct on the issue?
So there……………..
My word against yours.
August 31st, 2008 at 9:31 pmSo, Palin, the governor, fakes her pregnancy, gets whatever medical people that she needs (doctors, nurses, hospital and medical staff) to go along with a coverup that they successfully pull off. Oh, and she gets whoever she interacts with in government to buy it. While the real mother, Palin’s 16 year old daughter, successfully manages her own coverup and coincidentally has a down syndrome baby, that are much more prevalent in mothers of Palin’s age.
All this to deny an issue (her daughter’s pregnancy) that could easily been turned into a sympathetic ‘choose life’ argument, by someone crafty enough to pulloff the switch-a-roo that progressives are suggesting.
The more time you focus on the personal attacks, the less time to address the substanitive issues.

I do care that they seem to NEED to hide the fact that the daughter had an out-of-wedlock child. This speaks directly to the hypocrisy of the Religious Right. What, do they think they are hiding it from God? Because surely they believe that He knows ALL. F(ck them. They want to show to everyone that they are Christian and they have to hide it. Oh, there are probably many, many cases such as this and there are many, many people, and I mean fellow Christians, that know she is lying.
How can you trust these kind of people with the health of your nation? How? In God we Trust?!? B freaking S.
P.S.
backup says: nothing new or of any importance. backup offers nothing to the conversation. backup is trying to find anything to make Palin appear to be telling the truth. Or rather, backup is convinced Palin is telling the truth by the power of group religious indoctrination. She MUST be telling the truth. She NEVER was for the Bridge to Nowhere. backup will find lots of quotes and opinions that support this delusion. Even in the face of transcribed proof of her complicity in lying about her involvement in being For the Bridge before she was Against it.
People like backup are NEEDED by the people with money and power to help propagate and instill this delusion. Religion is the glue that sticks people like backup to the lies told by these cretins of society.

August 31st, 2008 at 9:47 pmIf John and Lindsey ever stepped out on a dance floor together, they’d give Fred & Ginger a run for their money. Then again, I doubt Fred & Ginger waltzed together through political mine fields of their own doing…but I digress!
August 31st, 2008 at 10:26 pmand does anyone in the MSM point this out?
Thought so….why do I get the feeling that this country is really starting to suck, big time.
August 31st, 2008 at 11:00 pmAh backup. We’ve been through his before. Ms. Palin is not qualified to be VP. In a more perfect world she would be disqualified from public service. Every bit I learn about her makes her sound more like Michele “Psycho Shelly” Bachmann. Personally I don’t want anyone who says the phrase “Biblical inerrency”, unless it’s followed by a raspberry or a hearty laugh, within 1,000 miles of the halls of power.

Hell, I’m conservative on an issue or two.
McSame lies because of dementia. Graham lies because it is a way of life for closeted men. He lies about everything all day long.

You might want to check out Sen Lindsey Graham’s voting record.
Lindsey has been in a Bob Hope movie “Road to the bridge to nowhere”. Everywhere McCain is seen lindsey is in the shots and reminding Johnny of his mistakes. At least the ones Lindsey himself are aware of.
Think Lindsey’s voting record is 50%, 70% ? Better?
