What what? Congressional votes Obama missed 40%, Hillary 30% McCain 58%. McCain missed more votes than Tim Johnson - the guy with the brain thingy who was out until he recovered.

...we could just get the rest of them to miss as many or more votes, we'll all be better off. McCain exhibits true leadership in this area and sets the example for othersto follow.

It's a start and it would be worth paying them double to vote 1/2 again as often.

Some people open the door and are glad for it because they know they're about to be given some stuff.

Others lock it and get out their weapons because they know their stuff is about to be taken.

Sorry I didn't understand, it wasn't exactly apparent what you were asking in that first post.

Yes it is ridiculous.

Have you seen the commercial where a bunch of fire fighters are running congress? THAT'S what we need.

Well: If you made it a requirement that in order to run for President you would have to quit the Senate, There wouldnt be many Senators in the race.

So: they just go ahead with their campaigns and some of them attempt to make the big votes others don't. Some of them use a vote to make points for their election. To be honest I doubt their presence is missed very much. In fact if we only had one Senator per state instead of two, we would save a bundle on wages ,retirements office costs, and perks, and the difference wouldnt be worth talking about.
