"It's time for the Bush team and RNC to not just release a typical soft response but blast them with specific details on their truancy, ask for their resignation from the Senate, and use terms like unqualified, incompetent and irrational."
This is already happening. Check out the Bush Campaign TV Ad entitled: "Priorities" Check it out.
"While campaigning John Kerry has missed 2/3 of all votes."
"Worst Attendance Record in the U.S. Senate"
"Missed a vote to lower health care costs by reducing frivolous law suits against doctors."
"Missed a vote to fund our troops in combat."
"Yet, Kerry found time to vote against the Laci Peterson Law, that protects Pregnant women from violence."
"Kerry has his priorities. Are they yours?"

Not bad, eh? All they need to do is release an updated version of this in which they include Kerry AND Edwards failure to be present to vote to protect marriage. I expect it'll be out in a bout a week.
Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Deadbeat Senators.
Both Kerry and Edwards are on record that they WOULD have voted for it had they bothered to vote. If Kerry and Edwards can't be bothered to vote, why should their supporters?
They kept away from the Sentate today because they knew that it would cost them SOME voters and since the media is on the Democrats side and likes to lie by omission, there will not be many references to the FACT that Kerry and Edwards (A) did not vote and (B) would have voted against it (not for it).
