The wonderful thing about the technology, the internet and blogging in the 21st century is that there is a record of everything. These records were recently examined by two users at the DailyKos and they found some interesting information concerning Senator McCain and Senator Obama. The first user, stuhunter has compiled a detailed list of the inconsistencies of Senator McCain, here are some of them; please visit the link for the rest:
Signing of the GI Bill: Now enthusiastically for it… after it passed. Previously attacked the Webb Bill. Didn’t even bother to vote on it.
http://bravenewfilms.org/…Campaign reform: On political reform, McCain last January opposed a grassroots lobbying bill he once supported. In 2006, the “New York Sun” reported that his presidential ambitions led McCain to reverse his support of a campaign financial bill called McCain/Feingold.
http://www.nysun.com/…Alien Minors Act/Immigration: Last October he said he would vote against the development, relief and education for Alien Miners Act that he co-sponsored, and then said he would vote against an immigration bill that he introduced.

The next user Helenann has contributed her valuable time to exposing the lie that Senator Obama is all talk and no action by examining the legislative records of the 109th and 110th congress. Again, please do visit the link for the complete list and greater detail:
In a nut shell I found:
Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 570 bills in the 109th and 110th Congress.
Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 15 bills that have become LAW since he joined the Senate in 2005.
Senator Obama has also introduced amendments to 50 bills, of which 16 were adopted by the Senate.
His record is in fact quite impressive for a junior Senator from Illinois.
Lastly I am sure we remember this famous McCain deception that it was safe to walk around in Iraq:
