Dem Aide: McCain, Lieberman And Kyl To Skip Stimulus Vote

That Wanker Lieberman should have been tossed out on his ass immediately Obama was inaugurated President

The Senate is prepared for one of its most important votes in decades this weekend, whether to approve President Obama's economic stimulus package. Republicans are pushing back against Obama and Democrats are one vote short of the number needed to cut off debate and pass the stimulus.
Yet not all of the senators plan to show up. Three crucial lawmakers intend to be elsewhere.
John McCain, Jon Kyl and Joseph Lieberman are scheduled to travel to Munich, Germany for a conference on foreign affairs over the weekend. Democrats have so far been unable to persuade them to stay home for the vote, a senior Senate aide familiar with their travel plans said.
McCain, a Republican from Arizona, has said that he opposes the current stimulus bill. Kyl, also an Arizona Republican, is the Senate's minority whip in charge of corralling GOP votes and opposes the current bill. Lieberman campaigned on behalf of McCain during the presidential campaign and subsequently battled to remain a member of the Democratic caucus.
The two Republicans and one independent plan to attend the 45th Annual Munich Conference on Security Policy, the aide said. Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to attend the conference, as is General James Jones, National Security Adviser to President Obama.
