Why is this even an issue...He hardly needs the money and maybe he should take a page out of ARNOLD's playbook.....Donate your pay to something like OUR COUNTRY!

kerry is so self centered, he would never do that. I don't know how anyone can stand him. His "speeches" put me to sleep.

"Why is this even an issue...He hardly needs the money..."

Then consider that maybe it's not about the money.

For instance, Senator Kerry's home state of Massachusetts has a Republican governor. Senator Kerry is a Democrat. If Senator Kerry resigns his senate seat, then a Republican takes his place.

...And if the good Senator's pay gets docked for failing to show up to vote in the Senate, there will be a hue and cry for him to resign.

So to prevent that hue and cry, he has to fight the docking of his paycheck.
