“I haven’t had a chance to talk about it at all, have not had the opportunity to, even,” McCain said. “We’ve just been too busy, focused on other stuff. I don’t know if I’m doing that. We’ve got a couple of meetings scheduled.”
Whichever way McCain may have voted, it would have been a difficult choice given his status as the Republican presidential front-runner.
Senate Democrats cleverly bundled the rebates for seniors and veterans, key voting blocs, with expanded unemployment benefits and home heating subsidies for the jobless and poor.

any doubt as to how he would have voted?
should we get into a P%$%**$ing contest about how many votes each of the senators running for president have missed? Has Hillary had perfect attendance in the Senate for the past year? Her spokepeople are going to brag that she was there to vote today but McCain missed it, and thus she is ready to lead from Day One because of that?

Can you say VeeP Grahamnesty, children? I knew you could. ;-)
Piss away.
I can't see that he has much of a choice but to try and quack like a conservative from now to November. That is, if he actually wants to be president. I'm not sure how many people will buy it. But that being said, I figure he would've stuck with the party on this one.

If moderates on both sides of the aisle think they are our best hope, then they should have started their own damn party, it's not like they don't have the money and connections here and abroad, instead of dragging all of us thru the unfolding debacle that lies ahead.
Bite your tongue! As if McCain wouldn't be bad enough without his little lapdog, too!
Just another reason I won’t vote for this “fugazzi”.
Shaking my head yet again...

Ronald Reagan said in 1975 that, “A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.”
is that man sleeping or dead?
Did Hillary and Obama miss it too?
No, he’s praying for a different GOP nominee.
Looks like Obama made it,, not Hillary..
“For McCain, not voting meant not going on the record either way. He has missed all eight Senate roll call votes this year.”
I get the Congressional votes delivered to my e-mail box (via MEGA VOTE @ capitoladvantage.com).
I hardly EVER see McCain casting a vote. For the longest time, all I’ve ever seen by his name is “not voting.”
Not voting, not voting, not voting, not voting, not voting....over and over and and over and OVER again.
It's pretty obvious the guys standing up are trying to figure out the best way to wake up the guy asleep in his chair.
Guy next to JM: "John, I really think you need to add some new ideas into your campaign"
Lieberman to self:"I wouldn't mind a good nap right now"
Guy in black: "How 'bout I just shake his chair"
