McCain's day gets even shittier. Senate rejects his "poison pill" amendment to START, 37-59.


BREAKING: McCain START amendment fails
By: CNN Wire Staff

(CNN) - Members of the U.S. Senate voted down an amendment Saturday that would have taken out language that recognizes a relationship between offensive and defensive weapons from the preamble of the new START treaty, the proposed nuclear arms treaty with Russia. The vote was 59-37 against the amendment, which was put forward by Arizona Sen. John McCain.

1. I can't wrap my head around the fact that more voted against his amendment than the bill itself.
Only to McCain----a fail on so many levels.

12. Yet he never seemed bitter about Sh*thead screwing him
in South Carolina the time before last. Glad, so glad he is not up in our White House now. With the uncontrollable idiot VEEP he chose.

"Look the 7 years in a hole I totally respect but unleashing Palin on this country, well, we are square now"

8. McCain should have retired instead of running for reelecrion. He is washed up
and has ruined his reputation.

14. And some falsely claim it makes no difference who wins elections
DADT would not have been repealed under a President McCain.
