John McCain Has Problem When It Comes To Bills Concerning Iraq

  Just for the record, here are the votes that Mr. Warmonger McCain has missed just since the new Congress has been in.

(1) The anti-surge resolution that failed on a slim 48-50 vote on March 15? McCain missed it — even as he publicly argued that we should trust in the judgment of President Bush and Gen. David Petraeus.

(2) McCain also missed the vote on the succeeding resolution that renounced the cutting off of funds.

(3) McCain did show up to vote for the Cochran Amendment on March 27, which would have stricken timetable language from the Iraq supplemental. But then after the Cochran Amendment failed, and after McCain voted No on initial passage of the Senate version, he later missed the vote on the final passage of the conference report on April 26.

(4) Just this morning, McCain missed the Senate vote on the Feingold Amendment, which would have provided for the the redeployment of troops form Iraq.  

  It would seem as if Mr. McCain is to busy going around the country stating his reasons for staying in Iraq than he is to vote for those reason's which he so vehemently believes in.
