[Taliesan]

You realize these guys have already tallied the records and they must be damning indeed.

[Voltage]

I am sure he had a good excuse for not showing up for work...he had to perfect his skiing and wind surfing.

[jackbill]

I suspect that the Republicans who are on the committee and are calling for Kerry and Edwards to release the attendance records know exactly what they would show.

[coconutt2000]

Someone just lead it already!


Oh yeah, only the Democrats seem to leak sensitive or private information for political gain. Then, more often then not, they claim the Republicans did it... Even when it is against the Republican best interest.

Democrats suck. Kerry sucks. If Kerry gets into the White House, it will be President Kerry giving blow jobs to foreign dignitaries, not interns.

Excuse my language... Just a little pissed at him at the moment.

[hushpad]

On Sunday's "Meet The Press," Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said that both Kerry and Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) should allow the release of their attendance records.

I don't understand a public official, an elected official, having control over his OWN attendance records.

These people WORK FOR US, We The People have a right to the information WITHOUT our EMPLOYEES permission!

Attendance records have nothing to do with National Security - nor do the FINANCIAL RECORDS of his FOREIGN-BORN WIFE!

Release the records Kerry, or some of us just might ask for a lawsuit.

[Guillermo]

Yeah, but he was Vice Chairman.

Doesn't that count for anything?

[Happy2BMe]

This election is reaching critical mass very, very quickly.

If all of the cards are not on the table by now, they are probably going to stay in the deck.

There is scarcely time left to expose any new "revelations" on Kerry, however damaging they might be, short of a major scandal that would disqualify him from running.

[barker]

Is there any way of finding out where Kerry actually was on days he missed meetings?

[ghost of nixon]

Kerry's pathetic attendance must have been common knowledge to the GOP all along - this means they know exactly what the records of private intelligence meeting attendance shows, and it must be damning. I know that a lot of people, including me, have the perception that all Senators miss a lot of these committee meetings, however, it seems Kerry's attendance record is much worse than the average Senator. Not the kind of record to run for President on.

[aruanan]

Those records could only be released to the public with the senator's permission.

Where are the whistle-blowers when we really need them?

[Just mythoughts]

Two Americas that Johnny Edwards loves to talk about, "secret", private lives for liberals and unadulterated nakedness for the rest of America. (Hillry care)

[VRWC_minion]

If you ask me, this record is the most negative issue of all.

[longhorn too]

I wonder why this is not public information already? He is suppose to be accountable to the people for his job.

[JOE43270]

Hanoi john can point his finger and mess with marines in Wendys, so now its time for him to make his work record public. After all he is a public employee.

[EdReform]

BTTT

[christie]

Did Kerry ever bother to go to work? Or was being a Senator just something to put on his resume. We know he didn't write legislation.

We need his attendance records on all committees and all votes.

[Arrowhead1952]

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), also a member of the committee, said, "The fact of the matter is, even though he claims to have gained a lot of that expertise by serving on the senate intelligence committee, during his eight years of service on the intelligence committee there were forty-nine public hearings held by the intelligence committee, and John Kerry was absent from thirty-eight of those forty-nine hearings."

The left and their media will accuse the Republicans of the "timing of this being suspect."

[NavySEAL F-16]

It's hard for me to believe that these records aren't public record.

Just who elected, who pays and who needs to know whether a senator is doing his job?

Isn't this the the real reason that McGreevey has to resign is because of his debacle with Homeland Security selection.

Well, I would think the attendance on our Senate Intelligence Committee is of the same importance if a member just doesn't bother to show up.

[Natural Law]

Why aren't attendance records for public officials public record? Who decides thse rules anyway?
