So this thread is just a comparison of their attendance record and what bills they may have piggy backed off of? I thought this was going to be a real "tale of the tape" Presidential style..........dammit....no <yawn> emoticon.
LOL I think it's obvious.......what have they actually accomplished....did you have anything prudent to the conversation or are you just trolling with no real information.
Come on your guys are the best the other side has....you have to have something other than spins that have been provided......speak on the facts at hand the facts posted in the OP.....Opinions in situations like this just make you look clueless.....sort of like the previous thread with his adviser fumbling over himself to come up with his accomplishments.
McCain: finished at the bottom of his class at the Naval academy
Obama: Number 1 in his Harvard Law School class
I report, you decide...
Lies....more truth next time?
"Always on the edge of flunking out, McCain finished fifth from last in his class. Poindexter—the future national-security adviser—finished first. After graduation, McCain went out of his way to choose a naval career that was as different from his father's as imaginable. "Actually," he says, "I wanted to be a navy pilot, because I thought it was a pretty exciting life. I wasn't interested in being on a destroyer or a battleship or a submarine. I thought being a navy pilot would be a lot of fun. But that was the extent of my ambitions. It was not to reach higher rank or to advance up the ladder. I just thought it would be a great life, and it turned out indeed it was."
"
Since then his record is impeccable. Howd you do in school and did you become valedictorian and graduate top of your class.....if not why aren't you president?
Not comparing him to Albert Einstein but you do knw he dropped out of school intelligence comes in different forms...not just academics.
I dropped out of my school for personal reason and @ 16 tested to a grade level of sophomore in college.....does that mean I'm an idiot also ....of which I finished.

What other information is there about their voting attendance? You have the numbers posted Your thread died right there. The only thing left is for the Obamatrons and the Mccainiacs to start slinging the same crap they do in every other thread.
We can go back to the futile attempt to see what they've accomplished lately - Namely, What Bill have they submitted in the 110th CONGRESS, since this will give us a more honest view of what the Senators care about relative to current events. (The consensus is Senator McCain's low number of legislative Bills in the 110th CONGRESS is to be expected...Interesting)
If you wish to consider Senator McCain's record back to 1993, an objective appraisal should include Senator Obama's record at least that far back, while in public service as well.
What's it matter if only 2 passed.
Maybe JM doesn't come up with garbage he knows is only propaganda that would never be passed......beside what better way to hide that you have done think but to try and pass as many as possible....see the lottery....chances in crease with numbers of tries......it's still a gazillion to one you ever win.
What I see is two different senators who seem to do the very same thing. And that is miss work! I'm sure it is the norm for our illustrious senators who work a whopping 1 1/2 to 3 days a week to miss votes all the time. All this says to me, a hard working middle-class American, is that these pompous, pampered politicians can't even make it to work every day of an average 2 day work week.
This makes me even more aware of the impossibility that either of these men could truly represent me and all the rest of the average Americans. I have missed 3 days of work(5 to 6 day work weeks) in the last 6 years and I am a carpenter for G's sake. Your info. has simply made me even more upset with the current system we have in place for choosing our leadership. And if they aren't going to do any more work than they do, they need to be paid less. I already knew the salaries for senators were a bit heavy, but when you factor in all the down time these guys really have it made.
And for the OP, I think I am still kind of on your subject, though I haven't added any data so to speak. I just went a different direction with the comparison issue. Sorry if you feel I tried to hijack your thread. I just had something a little more personal to convey.
P.S. You have awoken in me a desire to research these voting records myself, not only our candidates but a general overall view of the whole deal. Just curious to see how all our other senators fare in the attendance and voting department. Especially Mrs. Dole and Mr. Burr!
