The Senate has been doing a lot of votes on amendments today

[MiniMe]

I'm not sure what they are voting on, haven't been able to listen that closely. But whenever a repuke puts up an amendment, they are adding John McSame as a co-sponsor. They are trying to make it look like he is coming up with all sorts of legislation, most of which I'm sure he has nothing to do with.

2. Well, everything the R's are proposing seem to be getting voted down

Maybe 1 passed.

7. Well that's good to know!

It seems like for too long everything has gone their way.

3. They're trying to pad McCain's resume even if he isn't in the chamber to cast votes.

Unethical.

[MiniMe]

4. My thoughts exactly

"Look at all this legislation that McCain put forward. And the evil Dems voted it down"

Nothing about it was crappy legislation.

5. Co-sponsoring legislation is merely signing your name onto it.

It's basically pre-emptively voting in favor of the bill. Very, very rarely, an original co-sponsor will have had some hand in drafting the bill, but typically, it's all the sponsor's work. Most Members of Congress co-sponsor hundreds of bills, while sponsoring only a few (committee chairs excepted).
