PS to any/all of Sunday's Stage 1 panel members who may read this: I'm the fellow, the one who identified himself as an army veteran from the 60s, the one who was sitting in the front row, the one who poetically concluded with "We're going to nail that crazy m**** f****r to the wall," and who received from those gathered a rather tumultuous applause.

The Voting Record:

_The Children's Defense Fund Action Council (a nonpartisan evaluator of congress), in 2007 gave McCain only a 10% rating, the very worst in the senate! Here's what he voted against:

_Increase funding for children with disabilities (S. Con. Res. 21)

_Protect children from unsafe medications (S. 1082)

_SCHIP Reauthorization (H.R. 976)

_College Cost Reduction and Access Act (H.R. 2669)

_SCHIP (H.R. 976 - motion to concur)

_DREAM Act (S. 2205)

_Funding child health and education (H.R. 3043)

_Improving Head Start programs (H.R. 1429)

An "Old Army Vet" and liberal, qua liberal, with a passion for open inquiry in a neverending quest for truth unpoisoned by religious superstitions. Per Voltaire: "He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity."
