A bill goes before the senate this week that could possibly have a larger economic impact on our country than any bill that has gone before and the 3 contenders for the presidency aren't going to show up. How did we here?!

It would just be two votes for the bill and one against. With all three skipping it, it’s a one vote net gain for sanity.

"In a press conference Wednesday McCain defended his decision to skip the vote, and outlined his opposition to the bill."

That's something anyhow.

Can we get our people riled up like we did for illegal immigration. How convienent the candidates wont be voting, pausible deniablity when the public finally detrimines globull whoring is bs, one of them as president can say they didnt vote for it. In a way I want it to pass. It is riling us up enough that republicans picked their worse candidate, we might as well get more taxes and an economoic downturn. It could be the tipping point.

McCain is triangulating on global warming

He'll only support it if it includes nuclear power (which will never happen) so in the end he can say he supported climate change but nukes need to be part of the equation.

What is most sickening about this bill is that it is being co-sponsored by a “Republican”. Disgusting.

Too bad everyone doesn’t stay home. Our country would be better off.

I believe the Senate as well as the House have lost their minds. Nothing but corruption. I intend to vote every one of my incumbents out of office.
