Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

McCain was a co-sponser. I don't see a problem.

Being just a co-sponsor doesn't pass a bill in the senate fyi.

I'm sure he would have voted if he needed to.

How about the amendments to the bill? Was this just such an amendment?

The point is, he should not slam Obama for missing a vote he also missed. Do you get it now?

Quote from the OP's link

,
Quote:
“This is the same organization that I voted to condemn as a terrorist organization when an amendment was on the floor of the United States Senate. Senator Obama refused to vote.”
Hmm, it seems McCain seems to have problems remembering things correctly!

No, there is a difference. A subtle difference, which obviously you don't get.

Co-Sponsor - A member or members that add his or her name formally in support of another members bill. In the House a member can become a co-sponsor of a bill at any point up to the time the last authorized committee considers it. In the Senate a member can become a co-sponsor of a bill anytime before the vote takes place on the bill. However, a co-sponsor is not required and therefore, not every bill has a co-sponsor or co-sponsors.

At least we know where he stands in writing on this bill.

McCain also missed the vote on the GI Bill. I thought he cared about veterans? At least that's what he keeps telling us.

They are certainly a dangerous bunch (w/ Photoshop). We need to stop these Electronic Jihadists immediately, says McCain's yellow toothed grin.
