He voted YES to a $122 billion war funding bill. 4/26/2007 - Vote 147: HR 1591
He voted YES to a $124.2 billion Iraq and Afghanistan war bill. Once elected to the Senate, Obama voted for a series of war funding measures. This last one is for fun to show that Obama really is a true patriot. He voted NO to the following bill:
6/27/2006 - Vote 189: S J RES 12
This vote would have given Senate approval to a proposed constitutional amendment that would give Congress the authority to ban ‘desecration of the American flag.’

I thought Sen. McCain was against torture. H.R. 2082 Senate vote #22 would bann torture…guess what Sen. McCain’s vote was NAY http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2008-22 Can someone now actually make an argument that Sen. McCain is against torture. Although, I feel many suspects have committed crimes against humanity, they have not been proven guilty by a court of law, furthermore, justice isn’t always right. Waterboarding is a cruel punishment in violation of the Bill of Rights.
I meant against* in the title.
