Why are Kerry and Edwards always accused of missing so

[rainy]

many vote in the senate? Do they miss more than usual? What are their records compared to the rest?

1. Republicans lie...

and journalists don't do that research thing.

2. Kerry is running for President

Edwards for Vice President.


It's a tough thing to do from the Senate chamber.

3. Should the President that...

Has been on vacation for 42% of his presidency on vacation, a president that has never worked a weekend and a president that spent the entire month before the September 11 attack at the "western white house", really be criticizing someone else's attendance record.

4. Because they don't fight back on it

Listen, I am from Massachusetts, and am working at phone banks, visibilities, etc. to get them elected. I am a strong supporter/defender. But there are some things they don't do that drive me NUTS!!! This is one of them! Did Senator Edwards point out today just what his voting record is vs. Cheney's record presiding?

Has Senator Kerry really clarified his record on the IWR, during and after? Including the truth on the $87b?

No! My own sister is pretty non political...voting Kerry, yes, but non political, and she did NOT know the facts on the war authorization or the $87b. I'm sure she will not know until I tell her about Edward's voting record.

It is up to us to tell as many people as we can, but we can only do so muck with LTTE, talk show calls, etc. The candidates need to get the truth to the fore as well. They have the "bully pulpit" so to speak. They reach far more people than do we.

5. Look on Home Page for Edwards record.

He has a 84 % attendance and nearly perfect for first 4 years. And he presided over Senate twice, the same as CHENEY !
