reposted this article from last month. Word needs to get out that Kerry refuses to give up his Senate seat all the while not doing his senatorial job.
ACU also demanded that Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman repay 59 percent and 54 percent of their salaries, respectively
Seems Kerry is AWOL from the Senate. I don't know how many "working people" could get away with missing 59% of work time.

I wonder why they're not suing John Edwards.

"Can you name another job in which someone can consistently miss nine out of every 10 days and still receive a full paycheck," asked Keene.
Check some of the NYC union contracts.

They should be automatically recalled if they miss more than half of their votes. What other employee can be absent more than half the time and get away with it. This is rediculous.

Kerry palns to remain AWOL from the senate while he runs for president. On the other hand President Bush still must do his job while running for re-election.

But, but, but, Gephardt almost cried when he bowed out of the race. He almost cried! Surely that must mean something!
And what about Kerry? He was in Vietnam. Did you hear about that? And, for us, for all America, he has allowed Botulinum toxin to be injected into his head! The same head he would use as president. Or might have used as a U.S. Senator if he was working as one. Poison in his head! For us! For all of us! And this is the way he is treated?
It's a sad day when a "savage" group like this ACU group goes after people that run for president that have almost cried or have had poison shot into their skull!

Word needs to get out that Kerry refuses to give up his Senate seat all the while not doing his senatorial job. Considering his voting record, an AWOL Senator Kerry, even at full pay, is a net plus for the taxpayer.

This is a great law. However, I think the suit is counter-productive. It might be cheaper in the long run to pay Gephardt, Kerry, et.al., to not be in the Senate to vote.
Maybe we can pay Teddy and "Sheets" twice as much if they would not show up at all. It would be cheaper for the taxpayer.

I wonder why they're not suing John Edwards. He may have arranged in advance to have his pay stopped.
It is the smart and legal thing to do, and occasionaly even scoundrels do it.

Interesting; you may be right.
As a millionaire, he can certainly afford to do without, but I guess that's true for many if not most US Senators.
To: Republican Red
Gephardt has missed more than 90 percent of votes in the U.S. House And this is a bad thing?
To: Republican Red
Seems Kerry is AWOL from the Senate. I don't know how many "working people" could get away with missing 59% of work time.Hmmm, Kerry 'deserted' his post at the Senate? Paybacks are hell John, aren't they???????
To: Republican Red; areafiftyone
On another thread this morning, I was asking what had happened with this lawsuit. Ask and ye shall receive (grin!).
Ping to areafiftyone regarding our earlier discussion.

Fat chance they are going to pay. Wonder how Hitlery got around this with her book tour and all? And you can bet she got around it all paid for by the taxpayers.
To: eeriegeno
John F. Kerry getting paid for not showing up for duty? (I'm shocked, I tell ya, shocked!) People have "raised questions" about his service and just getting paid isn't enough evidence that he served. Let's start an investigation, shall we? I want proof, proof, I tell you, in the form of medical records, to show us all that he wasn't AWOL or a deserter when he was elected to serve.

Thanks for the Ping. Looks good so far. But these stupid democreeps are slippery and always manage to get out of these things.
