McCain blows off ANOTHER vote on Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, a staunch supporter of sending more troops to Iraq, will skip a Senate vote on the war Saturday to campaign in Iowa . . .

McCain already missed the first vote on the small matter of the Senate trying to debate the Iraq war back on February 5, 2007.

2. This guy is unhinged. Does he think he can run away and hide now?

3. John McCain chooses politics over the troops.
Way to stand by the troops John McCain. You'd rather be kissing babies in Iowa than discussing how to get our soldiers out of this quagmire.

Nice work.

4. Chicken
He does not have to go on record for or against. Then when the popular stance rules he can switch over.

5. exactly, nothing on the record. Anytime in the future that he accuses anybody
of "Playing politics" with the war or the troops this should be brought up.

7. He has no core values - he just pursues the office of the presidency.
