Yes, I’m reading and shaking my head.
He misses one vote that doesn’t matter, and up go the wailings of betrayal. It’s the Alamo all over again, etc.
Give me a break.
Is he paid to be a Senator? Would anybody else in the World be able to just walk off the job when they feel like it? That is the problem. He doesn’t think it is important to do the job he was hired for. Sorry but he should have voted. He wants us to vote for him but guess what? On that day many people have obligations that they need to take care of...yes even personal ones and guess what? We find the time to vote because we care and it is our duty to do so. He should have voted. There is no debate on that. At the very least I hope he put in a slip that docks his pay for not being at the job. Heck if he did that then at least I know it would be considered leave or vacation but if he was paid for not fulfilling his job then that is a problem.
