<p>Yes, both of them have missed votes. Both of them have missed meetings on Afghanistan (more so for John McCain). But you use a double standard in pardoning McCain’s flaws in his voting (or lack thereof) while you try and twist Obama’s state senatorial votes (which have been proven by organizations like FactCheck.org to have been more than just cop-out votes) to suit your pre-determined view that McCain is better. </p>
<p>And if McCain was so against the bill in the first place, why did he try and falsely take credit for it after it passed? Because he needs to kow-tow the Bush Republican line whilst appealing to veterans (a group he has ignored in the past, made evident by his “D” rating by veterans organizations and the greater funding Obama receives from service men and women).</p>

<p>A glaring example of flawed McCainian logic.</p>
<p>1) McCain was a soldier. Therefore, he is good with war.</p>
<p>2) McCain is old. Therefore, he is wise.</p>
<p>3) McCain is a veteran. There he is good with veteran issues and is popular with soldiers in Iraq.</p>
<p>4) McCain was a POW. Therefore, he has a license to lie, cheat on his wife, make embarrassing statements without repercussion, etc.</p>
