Looks like John McCain is still that good ole' Maverick still. One thing I dont understand is how come (and maybe its just me) but I never heard of this vote happening. Is there a better way to see when these votes are coming up so I can know in advance??

The ole Maverick is at it again...

[stoked]

McCain has been the Democrat ace in the hole allll along.

what I dont get is that I never heard that they were even voting on it, why arent people announcing things like this so that people can get behind it.

Juan McCain only ran to make sure Obama won. Obama (his secret sponsor) knew that conservatives were not fool enough to elect McCain.

There is a procedural reason McCain votes no -- if he votes no, and the bill fails, he can call the bill back up for another vote. That's in the rules of the Senate. Remember Dole did this frequently for bills he knew could fail to intentionally bring it back for another vote.

McCain is forever Obama's puppet, as is everyone who played around with our Constitution and presidential eligibility. Ever since Resolution 511 was agreed to (read all the names that agreed to it) on April 30, 2008, we allowed this to be put before us all to read:

Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President

McCain knew this. He's a traitor, imo. And we're screwed because even communists were a former candidates as well as extremists.

and what makes you think that that is his reasoning??? was that his reasoning every other time he has taken that stance on this issue??

Times like this proves to me my 3rd party vote was the right vote last Fall.

What, do they just hope for a better outcome the second time around?

Times like this proves to me my 3rd party vote was the right vote last Fall.I'd like at least four parties, but that isn't going to start at the Presidential level where the stakes are higher and all it takes is one party to just...not split to stay in power.

Campaigning McCain as a maverick was hilarious.
