Re the record of McCain: As has become the standard in these elections, half truths and absolute falsehoods make the day. In each of the cases you have reported the surface information. Were there any riders on each of the bills which made them less than palatable to Sen McCain. This bit of information which may have led to his voting against the bill has not been divulged. Until there is such a thing as a line item veto and other means of discerning against what may be a favorable bill there will be votes against and should be vetoes. Tell the entire story. Of course, that isn't likely to happen since you are bias towards Obama. Incidently, Obama didn't pass any legislation. He may have sponsored a bill and/or voted for it but he didn't pass it. Seems Democrats pass a lot of bills by themselves. How quaint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677108722778516534.post-88830590695221924892008-09-10T11:40:00.000-06:002008-09-10T11:40:00.000-06:00joe i love to read your opinions. but it's easy fo...joe i love to read your opinions. but it's easy for obama to promise that he will do just about anything to be elected. but his record for doing anything is a lot short. mccain is not my favored choice either, but lord help us all if our next president is barack hussein obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677108722778516534.post-15284843386396488262008-09-09T17:49:00.000-06:002008-09-09T17:49:00.000-06:00FYI.

I just returned from a week in the West Virginia mountains; where as an aside, I just happened to go to, two (2) that's T W O,(2) flea-markets, made-up of mostly out-of-work veteran's from Viet Nam and one guy from the Second World War. Not one, I mean NOT even one, was suporting McCain for the presidency. They had reservations about Obama, but they ALL planned to vote, "straight Democrat," on Nov. 4. Now, this is the state that went overwhelmingly for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary and they love her dearly, but have also come to know that as veterans - McCain does NOT represent them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
