Obama has introduced and supported several measures that improve the life and safety of active duty deployed troops and veterans. McCain's poor voting record on military related and veteran related issues is in contrast to his reputation. Veterans organizations who rate the voting records give Obama a better grade than…

My original reply was to a comment, made by RomeoRamenII, about Obama's performance as a Senator.

You want to appoint a temp. while they campaign or fire and replace them completely when they accept a candidacy?

Earlier in this thread the suggestion was made that Obama has been derelict in his duties as a Senator. I pointed out that this claim can apply to both Presidential candidates and provided voting statistics to substantiate my rebuttal. You noted that Biden's performance was even worse by citing the…

Biden did not beat them all during the current, 110th, Congress. McCain currenly leads for votes missed since January 2007 at 64.1%

Biden did the dopey dance and still voted more often than McCain. Biden also squeezed in some speeches. On 22 Sept. he addressed the National Guard and made…

Both have missed a lot of votes but McCain (412 votes missed (64.1%), 231 votes cast) has missed more votes than Obama. (295 votes missed (45.9%), 348 votes cast) http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/vote-missers/

The previous voting record is even more in favor of Obama (11 votes missed (1.7%), 634 votes cast). McCain Votes:…

In case you return to this topic, and since the video is kinda long, here is an excerpt from the transcipt of Joe Biden's address to the National Guard on Sept. 22, 2008, relevant to the comments I made above.

2008 G.I. Bill for example. Yes from Obama. No vote from McCain.

The record I found shows that it isn't merely appearance. Biden mentions these.

Disabled American Veterans: McCain 20%, Obama 80% voting record.

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America: McCain a D, Obama a B pus rating.

I just watched a YouTube clip of Joe Biden addressing the National Guard. It was good to see Joe Biden challenge the perception that John McCain is the candidate who supports the troops the most. Biden compared McCain's voting record with that of Obama. It appears that several veterans' organizations…

To continue along the line of your human body analogy, can you explain what the treatment is for hypothermia or hyperthermia? Does the body self regulate or is hospitalization required when its core temperature reaches or exceeds certain threshold temperatures?
