That's probably because McCain has voted more than 40 times in the Senate. ;) However, I was about to come on and admit I was wrong when I said Obamba voted against the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act Of 2005. I was misled by something I read, or I misread it. At any rate. I was wrong. Worse, I was adamantly wrong.

I have searched this whole god damned congressional record. and so far the only "housing bail out" vote lists I could find both McCain and Obama did not vote...which i have no idea how that works out... http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r110:3:./temp/~r1108uE8E4::[^] The congressional record is a pain to search and sort through :(( as far as regulatory things in 2005 :( no idea

The Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act Of 2005 proposed by Hegel and cosponsored by McCain, Sunnunu, and Dole was tabled in Committee by a coalition of Dems and Reps. When the Dems took over in 2006 all bills referred to the committee were killed as a standard housekeeping measure. Blaming Obama for this 'vote," is the kind of B.S. that whether it comes from one side or the other, makes me angry. (and pissed at myself for believing it.) It is true that McCain warned about Fannie and Freddie: "I join as a consponsor of the Federal Housing Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole." It is false that Obama should be blamed for opposing it.

well the problem i see is the problem i am having now...there is no definitive, here it is, yes they voted, no they did not vote. i just want 1 place, 1 congressional record with an easy to sort through list of votes. i just want to see those yeas or nays next to the piece of legislation without sifting through a bunch of rhetoric called "remarks" in the conressional record. those remarks are general very partisan and not very useful to a young naive voter like me. bah! it is a really big pile of a website.

Well, as happened in this case, a lot of the real work is handled in committee -- often by voice vote or show of hands. So the record will say, "The motion was carried." And since a committee can take one bill and amend by substitution - i.e. create a totally different bill and then refer that one to the floor, the truth is only going to be known by a few wonks and even they will know only about the bills they are interested in.

Wow, his entire political career on one page. There's a campaign ad for ya...
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Obama was free to vote in favor of it, knowing full well that his democrat compatriots would kill it. Did he take any active role in sponsering it or supporting it?

It died in committee. Obama is not a member of that committee and had no role in supporting or opposing it.
