Less Jobs, More Wars
John McCain added another plank to his platform yesterday with his ducking of the vote on the economic stimulus package. Screw the vets
Voting “no” with Republican leaders would have offended millions of Social Security recipients and the disabled veterans not scheduled to receive rebates. Voting “yes,” on the other hand, risked alienating Bush, GOP leaders and conservatives already suspicious of McCain’s political leanings. McCain was speaking Thursday before a meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, a group that booed him last year in absentia. For McCain, not voting meant not going on the record either way. He has missed all eight Senate roll call votes this year.
