Following up on what I said in my previous post, something else has come to mind. John McCain is seeing a lot of Republicans in Congress treat him like Bush. That is to say they don’t want to be seen with him. Add to that the fact McCain always talks about not being voted “miss […]
The bailout bill that passed the Senate last night included a bunch of pork and earmarks in it. McCain has said repeatedly that he would veto any such bill. So if he were President now, would the bailout receive the stroke of his veto pen?
Isn’t it ironic that the Senator who has missed the most votes in the Senate is the one wanting everyone to drop everything to go back and vote? He couldn’t even be bothered to go and vote for the veterans this year, but now he is interested in his job as a Senator? And some […]
Harry hits it out of the park on this one: I understand that the candidates are putting together a joint statement at Senator Obama’s suggestion. But it would not be helpful at this time to have them come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about […]
Just now breaking – John McCain is “suspending his campaign” and wants the debate postponed due to the economic crisis. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. McCain says he wants both campaigns suspended until this “crisis is resolved”. Of course we don’t know when that will be. Could this be a […]
McClatchy goes there: John McCain made a quick stop at the Capitol one day last spring to sit in on Senate negotiations on the big immigration bill, and John Cornyn was not pleased. Cornyn, a mild-mannered Texas Republican, saw a loophole in the bill that he thought would allow felons to pursue a path to […]
Here’s John McCain yesterday saying that “in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations”. Interesting comment. I thought we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in the 21st century. I guess it could be another senior moment. Speaking of senior moments, here’s a pop quiz. Who is President of the United States? Apparently McCain thinks he […]
TPM gives us this interesting news: Now this is just sad. Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican who has long led the conservative forces of his state, has been denied his customary position as a voting delegate to the Republican National Convention — and it’s being done by an even more conservative bunch. The Iowa […]
Bush’s veto of the Medicare bill early has been overridden by Congress. Here are the numbers: House: 383-41 Senate:70-26 Not sure if McCain showed up for the vote, but I highly doubt it.
Well when you are trying to save your career then that’s the case. Oregon Senator Gordon Smith is trying to align himself with Obama in his latest ad: To be fair, Smith has been an outspoken critic of Iraq, but the Obama campaign isn’t buying into this attempt of Smith’s to save his butt: Barack […]
