[quote]You asked for ONE example and this exercise has you answering your own question and then some! [/quote]And you still never gave an instance of him voting "present" in the US Senate. My point is, yes he's missed votes, just like every other senator. It doesn't make him unfit or irresponsible any more than it makes McCain unfit.
Ok Lula, so in the 109th congress Obama missed 11 votes, versus McCain missing 58. 51 Senators missed more votes than he did. In the 110th Congress, when they were both actively running for president. Obama missed 303 votes versus McCain missing 420. McCain missed more votes than Tim Johnson, who was in the hospital for 7 months. How exactly does any of this demonstrate that McCain is a better choice than Obama for president?
McCain is not like Bush merely by association. As you've heard from McCain's own lips, he's supported Bush over 90% of the time. His actions and deeds are what associates him with Bush. What actions or deeds of Obama's make him guilty of being like Ayers, Wright, Farakhan, or Rezco? Has Obama bombed the Capitol, etc?
[quote] Relatively???? He's had no executive experience whatsoever! And for the time he's been in the US Senate, he's voted present all too often showing he's unable or unwillingly to take a stand on matters put before him in the Senate.[/quote] Can you give me one example of Obama voting "present" since he's been in the US Senate?
I don't think anyone really has an issue with the fact that she "actually lives like us". What bothers people, myself included, is that she seems to be so over the top about making sure we know she's one of us. It just comes off an insincere to me.
[quote who="Zoologist03" reply="11" id="1897920"] your medic example: If you keep getting shot every weekend and have to go to the hospital, you might want to figure out why people keep shooting you instead of just having your wounds treated.

[quote]yes, but again, regardless what they say, they can't cover the fact that a "present" vote does not yield well for anyone. Especially a man, like Obama, who has been on the Senate for a very short amount of time. lets stop the BS and be honest here. A "present" vote is not a realistic vote. How would you feel if you life depended on the vote of a number of people and the some decide to vote "present"?[/quote] It sounds like you might be a bit confused
Who specifically, are "these people" who are comparing Obama to Jesus? The only people I have encountered who have brought up this Jesus/Obama issue are people like you, who say there are people comparing him to Jesus. Why are you criticizing people who are trying "so hard to convince people he really is the one"? Are you saying that he shouldnt campaign, have staffers, or volunteers? Should he and his supporters just take it on faith that people are g
[quote]That would depend. Are you one of those people who dials for American Idol over and over while crying about food and gas prices?[/quote] What exactly does someone voting on American Idol have to do with someone complaining about the price of fuel and food????

Where exactly did he say "all the troops have no equipment"? As far as his record on funding the troops, look it up. Stop waiting for someone else to do it for you.
[quote]Sorry, but I need real "proof", not an anonymous person telling a story to Obama and ABC "news". Nothing has confirmed Barack Hussein Obamas story.[/quote] Do you seriously doubt that there is an Army captain who would say this? Do you think that there aren't officers who have served there that have issues with the way things were/are done? It's really that hard for you to believe?

[quote]Has anyone seen the media call out Obama on this BS?[/quote] Actually, it appears that Obama's story is true. This guy actually talked to the Army captain that Obama was referring to and he confirmed that he did in fact tell Obama those things. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/02/from-the-fact-3.html
[quote]I heard the vote was 58-41 (I guess Johnson still is not voting).[/quote] No, it's actually McCain who didn't vote....again. I believe he's only actually voted on around 57% of the bills in the current session. As usual, he's afraid to have a record to actually be held accountable for.

Sure is quiet around here.
I didn't have to register. Irregardless of that, I have proved you wrong. They have testified before congress and have done many interviews and op-eds about the issue. All you have to do is do a search and you will find where several of the US Attorneys have been talking about the firings.
Why would you have to spend money or get spam in your email? I gave you a link to the editorial he wrote. He wrote the editorial in the LA Times. What does the fact that you consider them liberal leaning have to do with it? Why don't you just admit that you don't have a clue what you are talking about and that the entire premise of your post has been proven to be wrong?
Iglesias was not fired FOR investigating democrats. He was being pressured by republicans to finish his investigation and prosecute the democrat in question, even though the evidence didn't support prosecution. Why do you keep saying that they are not saying anything? Iglesias and others have been talking a lot. He even wrote an editorial in the LA Times. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-oe-iglesias23may23,1,6264228.story?coll=la-n
OK they did testify but they also stated that they were being warn off of investigations against the democrats. which is why bush fired them because they wouldn't back off that investigation. Where are you getting this information from? Who said they were fired for investigating democrats?
What are you talking about? Many of them have testified before congress about the firings. Six of them testified in one day back in March. WWW Link
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
no because first you refuse to accept the truth of things, then you call me a liar, it makes me think you have something to hide. As far as wild assertations there are 77 postingS about NAMBLA NANCY AND HER ATTENDANCE WITH HARRY HAY at a gay pride parade in San Fran Freako, but yet you refuse to accept any of this as truth, this makes me wonder why? I didn't refuse to accept anything. You said they marched together shoulder to shoulder. I asked if you
yup you just keep on believing that Davad, you just cannot admit even to yourself that one of your leaders supports NAMBLA. or could it be that maybe you support NAMBLA TOO? or are a member? Hmmmmm makes me wonder. What would make you think any of the above? Because I asked you to prove a wild assertion that you made?
