McCain Missed Iran Vote He Attacked Obama For Skipping

It turns out that John McCain made an off-the-mark error when he launched at Barack Obama this week over Iran's missile tests.

In a statement criticizing Obama's positions on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the organization claiming credit for the missile launches, McCain wrote, "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."

The problem with the critique? McCain also missed that vote on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment on September 26, 2007. Records show that Obama was in New Hampshire and McCain was in New York instead of being in the Senate chamber for the vote in question.

Dementia - can't remember his previous voting record - and does not remember not voting since March... sorry case for a candidate

What a fraud. It makes me sick to see another picture of McQuisling petending to be patriotic.
The man's entire career is devoted to selling out and destroying America
and its once proud middle class majority.

POSE IN FRONT OF A MEXICAN FLAG FROM NOW ON
MCTURNCOAT!

He says he was in New York at the time watching the Pittsburgh Steelers play the New York Yankees ( or was it the Islanders?)

What kind of freakin salute is that??? None that I've ever seen in the military. That looks more like a british salute.

Looks a little more... ahem... German... maybe he can goosestep as well -

He has no idea what is going on looking to his aides for every answer.

Here is a little lesson if you plan on attacking someone for missing a vote look back to one of your campaign staffers and make sure you were there that day.

Cindy, if you love your husband, get him to a specialist who will give him a brain scan and MRI It is very important to know how much of his brain has turned to mush.

We cannot afford another president who is (through no fault of his own) mentally deficient.

I guarantee if it were Obama, it would be on all the major networks--I didn't hear about this until I read it here. Teflon John continues...

It's gotten to the point that whenever McCain's lips are moving he is telling a LIE.

Obama (and/or his surrogates) must start to address each and every LIE McCain tells, IMMEDIATELY after he tells the LIE of the day.

McCain tries to make us believe that he has a bad memory each and every time he is put on the carpet for a voteing record which contradicts his stump speeches, but wants us to believe that he has a perfect memory with all things Obama.

He has a selective memory when anyting negative is about him, but with Obama he just opens his mouth and LIE.

Obama needs to realize that there comes a time that he has to cast aside his NICENESS and go after McCain with all he has (or have a team of surrogates to take on the role)........... But either way McCain can no longer get away with his nastiness.

All of the McCain's inner UGLY has come to the fore, and it's high time that his smug, elitist grin is wiped off his face once and for all.

We could put a Gorilla in a suit and he would make a better candidate for the presidency than this Nutcase.

Kerry, 2004: "I was for it before I was against it."

McCain, 2008: "I remembered it before I forgot it....Or is that, I forgot it before I remembered it? I forget."

[2liveNdie]

This guy is a PUPPET!!!

Can't think, speak, or vote for himself!!!

The video in which he was asked about health care coverage for viagra for men.....

Him squirming in his seat afraid to say what he would fear could be used as sound bite!

All because no one briefed him on the issue!!!

He is a complete joke and the Rupubs should be embarrassed to have him be their nominee!!!

[wilburr0g]
