McCain and Afghanistan

[thegooch]

ABC News reports that McCain has attended zero of his Senate committee's six hearings on Afghanistan in the last two years:

[Hearsay]

McCAin doesn't attend ridiculous committee hearings. He actually has been to Afghanistan.

 

Obama? The last time I checked . . .

[thegooch]

Last time I checked, my tax dollars go to pay him so he is at those silly meetings.

 

I have a real problem all around with the congressional attendance record...on both sides of the aisle.

What makes a hearing on Afghanistan "ridiculous"?

John McCain has missed 387 votes (62.6%) during the current Congress. See a list of his missed votes since 1991 or see a full list of vote missers.

 

Barack Obama has missed 270 votes (43.7%) during the current Congress. See a list of his missed votes since 1991 or see a full list of vote missers.

 

 

Senate votes missed in the 110th Congress

1, John McCain 62.6%

2. Tim Johnson 50.3%

3. Barack Obama 43.7%

4. Hillary Clinton 32.7%

 

What doesn't make sense about McCain's missed votes is he had the party presidential nomination long before Obama did.

He was napping through some of them.

Taxpayers are also footing the bill for these guys campaigning:

Boy, voting for McCain is going to be a thorn in my side.

Like my grandfather used to say, choosing between McCain and Obama "is like choosing between diptheria and typhoid."

I posted all of this a couple of weeks ago, but no one wanted to take a look or talk about it. Before I saw the numbers, I expected Obama and Clinton to be ahead of McCain, with somewhat of a good reason, due to the primaries. However, McCain has misses a significant number of votes more then Obama. I can't quite figure out why.

If missed work 62%, 50% and 43% at your job, would you even have a job?

 

 

NO!

 

If your going to run for president, give up your seat, so someone can actually fill it and do the job right.

Our choices this year are so bad it's scary....

So, I take it you'll be voting for neither candidate?
