1. Yes. The one time she voted to support Bush's Iraq invasion was one too many votes n/t

5. if staying home is what you like

Hey, McCain skips even more votes, ever consider him?

4. No. My problem is her IWR vote, her K/L vote and her disturbing
vote against restricting the use of cluster bombs.

7. She has a paper trail.
And he doesn't.

Some folks think no trail means no problems. They like a "blank slate" to write their fantasies on.

17. Utterly ridiculous and completely spurious. He has a paper
trail going back 11 years. And since hilly is toast, it's irrelevant what she has or doesn't have. She's not going to be running for anything in November.

8. Yes of course. I always look at the total number of votes.
And the candidate that has voted the least number of times is my top choice. I realize that this is a pretty obscure way to chose a candidate, but it is simple, very simple, so I like it. It is much easier than, for example, looking at what the candidates voted for or against.

22. LOL
Yea I say counting the votes must be much easier. I would say that it is easier than reading the intelligence report before voting for a war. I wonder who pulled that one off?

10. The number doesn't matter, it's what you vote on and what your vote is. nt

13. By the way, why hasn't she been back to Washington to push
the gas tax holiday if it's so important? That's what sold the people in Kentucky and West Virginia. I feel for the people because their jobs are gone and they're really struggling and now Hillary has promised them something she can't deliver in order to win an election.

14. Quality not quantity
People don't choose presidents based on who voted the most in the Senate.

20. that's correct
but the fact remains that the difference between his missed votes and hers is by far the greatest difference in their voting records. It dwarfs the number of times they voted differently.
