McCain skipped that vote altogether,and it was on a weekday.
Then again, his last vote was sometime in April.. My friends, that's a lot of pork that he didn't vote against.

You mean it wasn't the McCain/Webb bill? Next thing you know McCain will take credit for the 15 freed hostages in Colombia since he's down there doing whatever. Comment From: ragman  (Report this comment as a violation)

You notice that too Karie? They were both against the Bill and now they are all patting each other on the back. Comment From: Karie2  (Report this comment as a violation)

So now Bush and McCain are pretending to support the troops after opposing the bill? Shame on them. Comment From: Mike  (Report this comment as a violation)

I see George W. Bush is using the same old talking points in reference to the hard months coming up in Afghanistan, "It’s because we are taking the fight to the enemy."…No, it's because we squandered our resources in Iraq, now we don't have the troops necessary to sustain the rise of the Taliban.

The president really made me angry the other day, when he took credit for G.I. bill he and John McCain opposed, because it would supposedly hinder recruitment. The credit belongs to Jim Webb (the author) 55 cosponsors in the Senate and the 300 who voted for it in the house.
