More No' Bama Votes

Just so that you know, between 07/31/08 and 10/01/08 out of the 20 votes he could have cast, he voted four times or 25%. As a mater of fact, there were so many "not voting" during 2007 and 2008, I got tired of counting. Hmm, wonder were he was? Oh, I remember he was running for office. On our tax dollars!! Yes I know all politicians do it. But how many times did you hear about Mc Cain flying back to vote? Alot. After that speech yesterday I posted a blog but ran out of time so I just left it there. I could not sleep very well last night so I did some research. Here are some more interesting votes. All of this info comes from the Washington Post. He said yesterday that one of his main priorities was to take care of Soldiers and Veterans by increasing pay, insuring we have proper equipment and facilities, and benefits. Read below and then you decide. Sad thing is I know alot of Soldiers that voted FOR this guy.

12/21/05 Vote 364: On the Cloture Motion: Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 2863; Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006

5/4/06 Vote 111: H R 4939: Thune Amdt. No. 3704; To provide, with an offset, $20,000,000 for the Department of Veterans Affairs for Medical Facilities.

6/15/06 Vote 172: S 2766: Santorum Amdt. No. 4234; To authorize, with an offset, assistance for prodemocracy programs and activities inside and outside Iran, to make clear that the United States supports the ability of the people of Iran to exercise self-determination over their form of government, and to make enhancements to the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act of 1996.

All of the above listed he voted no on. Notice dates 3/01/05 and 4/13/05 these would increased life insurance and credit protection for Soldiers dieing so he could sit back here safe and sound (and oh yea, run to be are Commander in Chief). 4/13/05 he would not vote to reduce funding to Gitmo, but now he wants to close it. It took him 2 weeks to say anything strong about Iran killing hundreds of protesters. Look at the 6/15/06 vote, people I'm telling you again, I do not believe he believes in the Constitution of the United States of my beloved America. He wants a socialist world government. I think someone should tell him it only works on Star Trek. There everyone goes to work, lives for free on a ship, and when they get hungry all they have to do is push a button.

These are just some, there are more. If you would like to take a look at his entire US Senate record here is the site:

Now for all the Soldiers out there that voted for him, did you really do yourself a favor? And for all the civilians that so call "Support our Troops" and voted for him, I call BULLSHIT!!!!
