Presidential Candidate John McCain Does Not Support Abortion
"I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned," the Arizona senator told about 800 people in South Carolina, one of the early voting states.

As big an issue as abortion is, the President has almost no influence over it other than Supreme Court appointees.
|
I'm sure that comment will win him some points with the voters though.
|
The race for President is a contest to see who can pander to the greatest number of stupid people.

I get irritated listening to the promises and politics. Think of me what you will, but I don't vote, especially for the president. If I cared who was president, I probably would, but politics just isn't my thing.
Maybe if I had the time to actually research the issues myself, I'd care more about what the candidates have to say about them. I dunno. But anywho, I don't vote. There are exceptions though. For example, if Congress offered a public ballot to decide when THEY get a raise, I'd certainly vote then. ;) |

They do. No Congressional pay raises go into effect until after the next election. They almost never vote to raise their salaries, though. When was the last time they did? |

No, they haven't. They get the same 2.5% annual cost of living adjustment that all Federal employees get. Actually, they get a little less than most because they aren't entitled to regional increases, as well. CPI inflation was 3.4% last year so they actually lost money.
The last time they voted themselves a raise was 1989. |
They need to work a full week

Congressmen work much more than 40 hours a week.

Maybe I missed something here

Joepole maybe right. They probably spend 39 hours a week trying to keep their job and enjoying a multitude of perks, and 1 hour a week trying to actually work. Did Pelosi ever get her private nonstop flight home with friends included.

Your right on this Joe
