Either way, life time or not....pretty sorry record!
Aminus....read the bold script. I never gave a time line in my post!
My point is that the people he works for didn't hire him to be a butterfly and flit in and out. Would you want an employee of yours only showing up on days he got paid instead of every day whether you needed him that day or not????
If my employee had 20 years of exemplary attendance. And he took off on a day that he knew there would be absolutely no work to be done, I would not mind.
They know a head of time what they will be voting on and pretty well who is going to vote on it. So if he misses voting on some stupid non binding legislation that the Dem's are offering, I would not mind at all that he missed it. Plus on some bills he knew they would be passed, the President would Veto and then he would vote to keep the Veto from being over turned.
I am sure he is keeping up with the important stuff and missing the non binders. That one article you listed even said he canceled a trip to come back and vote on an important bill.
Unless we say that congressmen, Governors or any politician currently holding office can not run for President, we will have to accept that time will be taken away from their current job when doing so.
And you will see Hillary and Obama missing votes before the election in 2008. I bet Hilary's %'s catch McCain by Dec 2008.
I believe McCain had a 29% last time he ran for office and Kerry 72% I am sure McCain's percentages will be more like 29% or so once the Dem's quit all this non binding bills.
But the bottom line is he has had an Exemplary voting record for 20 years and you are dogging him for a 2-3 month span. Typical Liberal ploy, you should go to work in the Media :wink:
