he he he...
I think you may be on to something...
Damn that Evil Strategrey!

it was Bob KerrEy, not John Kerry, who held up the legislation until he got some perk and then cast the deciding vote.

Johnny must have gotten himself confused with Bobby.

"Actually, I was Bob, until I was John."

Kerry missing vote ping!!

[Go Gordon]

Excellent. It's about time the lazy liberals get off their butts and find work.

Its only going to make the unemployment rate godown even further in the next couple of months as the people that are perfectly happy collecting unemployment will have to get off the dole.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[deport]

thanks...... Kerry has missed most votes this year and many last.... He needs his paycheck docked for not being on the job but then again we know most of his votes would be on the liberal side....

[blackie]

Kerry is missing more than votes. :)

[daivid]

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was the only senator who missed the vote. Kerry was campaigning Tuesday in Kentucky

What a hypocrite!

This is the second time that Kerry has missed a vote on extending unemployment benefits, causing the measure to fail. He claims to be for it, while at the same time, he continues to sabotage the measure.

This is not flip flop, this is having it both ways.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Grandstanding at its finest.

If the Republican leadership decide to keep playing this game though, I wouldn't be surprised if Kerry makes a bold move and resigns from the Senate. I think the only thing that's kept him in his Senate seat is the fact that the Republican governor would get to appoint a new person to the seat, most likely a Republican.
