John McCain: Absent WithOut Leave

Senator John McCain is a busy man.

After all, he’s running a presidential campaign, so it’s understandable that he’s not really focused on doing his job as Arizona’s United States Senator, right? It’s understandable that he’s missed 399 votes during the current Congress, a number which accounts for over missing 63% of the votes cast in the current Congress. Now missing over 63% of the votes in the current Congress is bad, but at least Sen. McCain isn’t being a hypocrite about it, right?

Now I’ve said this time and time again during this campaign, but it almost seems to me as if Sen. McCain doesn’t seem to realize – or care – that in the digital age he can’t run from his record. Time and time again Sen. McCain has proven himself to be a flip-flopper of the highest order, and he’s also proven he’s not above engaging in a little hypocrisy, as evidenced by his call for Congress to “get to work” in the video. After all, who’s he to tell any of his colleagues to “get to work,” considering his own record of not getting to work in the United States Senate?

If Democrats in Arizona were smart, they’d hit him time and time again for being an absentee Senator, and they’d point out that Arizona deserves better than a Senator who will abandon his responsibilities as a United States Senator just to further his own political and personal ambitions.

  1. I don’t think he’s got dementia; I just think he’s hoping if he ignores his past comments long enough, they’ll just go away.
