United States Congress – District 3

Nay

Senator Obama’s Voting Record for the 110th Congress: http://obama.senate.gov/votes/
Sorry MO…… This is Obama’s own site…..Don’t crucify me for it.
I do not like any of the candidates .
I am waiting for an alternative in this country. That dose not consist of PROFESSIONAL LIERS…..
Dear Dani….
I do understand how the riders on a bill work…… Strike what you don’t agree with, and approve remainder of the bill. But I guess with democratic Congress "we throw the baby with the bath water"

But…But…But…He wants CHANGE! Isn’t that enough?

He has one of the most liberal voting records in Congress….will he not rest until we are sucking on the government’s teet?

to answer your question…yes

Most often, the politician’s expressed goal to ’save’ the people is simply a thin disguise to ‘rule’ the people.

Think about it…if you’re dependent on the government for your life, what sort of freedom do you have to make your own choices and criticize the government?

He had the most liberal voting record in the Senate (even more liberal than Socialist senator Bernie Sanders)
Biden has the 3rd most liberal Senate record
And congress is headed by two far-leftists: Pelosi and Reid.
And now Obama wants to add Rahm Emanuel (another far-leftist) to his cabinet.

For the love of God people, wake the heck up.

I totaly agree. Obama and his people are too far-left. They will ruin our country. USA is for people who work hard for their living and should keep it. How is that so hard to ask.? Tell the 95 percent of the lazy ***** who don’t wanna work, and live off of well-fair to go to some other communists country. Obama is too socialist, and by 2012 the comservative party will have an uprise and will have a true conservative like Booby Jindal or Newt run. Obama wants to do all of this radical things, that will hurt the greatest country ever. And check the fact, salraries of 250000 and above pay over 90 percent of americas taxes. How could you tax them even more?

About half of those who were polled reported that they are concerned that Obama would change Bush’s policies too much, including 30 percent who are "very concerned."

Here is a comparison of Obama’s voting record with Senate Leader 9% Harry Reid in 110th Congress.

Total Votes: 635
Not Voting: 289
Yea: 214
Nay: 132
Total Votes: 346
With Reid 318
% with Reid 92%

Obama was "Not Voting" 55% of the time and when he voted it was with Reid 92% of the time. This means that not only does Obama not put his country first, but he doesn’t do his job. How can he refute the experience attacks when 55% of the time he didn’t vote? What kind of leadership qualities does that prove besides the fact that Obama is the status quo of a failed Congress?

Bush’s approval rating was as high as 90% in 2001 right after 9/11 and was steadily between 70% and 50% up until about 2006 when it dropped. Are people really too naive to see that the 110th Congress is failing us more than the President and both Obama and McCain are part of it? However, McCain voted with Bush who once had a decent approval rating but Obama voted with his left wing democrats in the Congress and look where we have arrived.

I’m a conservative and by no means am I saying I just love John McCain, but we can’t afford Barack Obama. He is actually more of the same, not the change he claims.

Windseeker, I don’t need a source because the research was done by myself – using Obama’s voting record, available for anyone and everyone. His voting record is out there for everyone to see and can be found in multiple places. You are correct, my mind is made up. You, obviously being somewhat liberal, totally dodged my question by analyzing the answers and questioning my facts but failed to answer the question. Typical liberal.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been waiting to hear something like this!
Who cares if this really isn’t a question?
You have accurate info, and I applaud you!
All of these "dumbacrats" can’t really see that us "retardicans" are trying to fix America, and save it from Liberalism! The liberals are happy as long as they have their sex, drugs, and rock and roll!
Obama doen’t care about our country, he just wants the presidential office because he wants power! Obama is just a step in teh wrong direction. A BAD change that we can believe in (if he gets elected!)!
Thanks Again!

We all know McCain voted with President Bush 90% of the time. It’s not a hidden fact. Why don’t you talk about how Obama voted present on 40% of the time?

McCain supports the average working family. We all know you Democrats in Congress like to add on top of bills a nice little pay raise for yourselves or some other benefit and McCain won’t pass that garbage. Then we he downs it you go on a rant about how he voted against tax cuts but you forget to mention the pay raise in the bill that was never mentioned. Can you explain this to me?
Middle School Students for Obama-
1. Good thing you can’t vote and you opinion means nothing
2. Prove I’m a liar.
Middle School Students for Obama- I said he was a terrorist/socialist. Do your homework.
Diva- I got the right Penn. team. Just beat the Giants this weekend for me alright? Thanks.
Oh, by the way, who gave the Steelers their only loss? Did it start with an E.. wait no.. it was a.. Can you help?
Middle School Students for Obama: I’m getting tired of typing your loss ass name. I meant that as a question. " I said Obama was a Terrorist/socialist?" I forgot the question mark. You, kid, are the liar for saying I keep saying the same things over and over. Obama isn’t a terrorist. He just is very close with them. See the difference? Ah who am I kidding, I’m trying to influence someone who’s opinion doesn’t matter.
Megsabel, we’re not in war for oil. Proof of the first drop of oil brought back? If we’re getting all this great Oil from this war, how come when I go to fill up my car I drop 3$ a gallon?
Middle School Students for Obama: I quoted this from you "you a liar like most mcCain souporters
and why do you say the same things over and over again to
hes a terrorist socailist un american"

dude, you’re preaching to the choir… and don’t bother arguing with a middle schooler who doesnt pay taxes and understand the real world. if they were smart they’d want to vote McCain.

3/2/2006 – Vote 29: H R 3199
He voted YES to a reauthorized, slightly modified version of the 2001 USA Patriot Act.

6/22/2006 – Vote 181: S 2766
This amendment to the annual defense appropriations bill would have set a firm deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. (He voted NO to this amendment, by the way.)

3/29/2007 – Vote 126: HR 1592
He voted YES to a $122 billion war funding bill.

4/26/2007 – Vote 147: HR 1591
He voted YES to a $124.2 billion Iraq and Afghanistan war bill.

Once elected to the Senate, Obama voted for a series of war funding measures.

This last one is for fun to show that Obama really is a true patriot. He voted NO to the following bill:
6/27/2006 – Vote 189: S J RES 12
This vote would have given Senate approval to a proposed constitutional amendment that would give Congress the authority to ban ‘desecration of the American flag.’
Alex:
What I am attempting to address here is simply that Obama is a hypocrite. His actions speak louder than his words against the Iraq War.

As Paul Harvey would say, "The Rest of the Story."

This is something the American New Media seem to have left out.

How do you attract 200,000 Germans to an American presidential candidate’s campaign

rally in Berlin?

A. With the charisma and reputation of the candidate?

B. With a compelling political message?

C. With lots of advance advertising?

D. With the top two rock bands in Germany giving a free concert with the American candidate coming out for a short speech between the bands?

"D" of course. What the American media following and fawning over Obama failed to mention about his Berlin speech was why the crowds were really there. 95% of them could care less about Obama or American politics. They came to see a free concert with the German equivalents of Willy Nelson and Madonna headlining. Obama was an unwelcome and boring interruption giving a political speech in a foreign language between the acts – which is why the crowd only gave lame applause a couple of times – after all, how many of them spoke English or cared less? Obama didn’t care about the crowd either. His speech was really for the American media and the crowd was a backdrop for the photo ops. And the American media bit on it hook line and sinker and just sorta, kinda forgot to mention the rock bands that really drew the crowds .

France saw the 200,000 Germans and surrendered again .

On another note. Someone did the math on Obama the Senator. He has only been a Senator for 18 months. But with all the recesses, four day weekends, campaigning and absences, Obama has only spent about 6 weeks of workdays on the Senate floor as one of the most junior Senators. Most of his votes, about 80% when he was not absent, have been "present" or "abstain". He also chairs a committee that has never met because the chairman has never called a meeting. As a trial lawyer he only tried 14 cases in court – and minor ones at that. As a "community organizer" his major cause was getting the asbestos out of a housing project. After 2 years of trying the asbestos was still there when he left and is still there even now that he is a Senator and presumably has some pull to get things done.

That’s it. His entire real world work resume. 6 weeks work in the Senate with nothing to show for it. Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials. And two years as a "community organizer" with nothing accomplished.

actually he has set the record in the senate for the most times
hitting the wrong button when he votes. they allow you to change your vote if this happens on your record but as far as for the vote on the current issue it stands. the guy is not smart enough to press the right button and you want to trust him being pres.? hope he does not press the big button by mistake and kill us all. also he is also one of the people in the senate that votes present all the time that means he abstains from voting yes or no on the issue. he is not the answer.
Sorry question says congress I meant senate my goof sorry!!!

I know. It’s hilarious.

McCain is FAR more bipartisan. Check their voting records!

You’re correct. Obama is very much to the left and McCain has reached across the isle far more during his career. In fact, I see McCain as in the middle on most issues (though he’s heading right pretty quick now)

I’m not saying Obama is a terrible choice but he could’ve backed up some of his catchy slogans about united Washington while in the Senate — and he really didn’t.

Why did the Kennedy administration have such a poor record of legislative accomplishments?

A.Members of the administration had no program for reform.

B.The threat of communism abroad forced the president to turn from domestic affairs and concentrate on foreign affairs.

c.The administration had received a weak electoral mandate and lacked the votes in Congress.

d. An economic recession required that the federal government reduce its expenditures, so the administration refrained from proposing new programs.

e.Kennedy was assassinated before he had a chance to propose any programs.

C. Powerful senators and representatives kept much of Kennedy’s proposals from even coming to a vote.
