1. Why Is This A Big Deal?

Do you think his vote would have been other than Yes? Honestly?

His vote was meaningless. If his had been the critical vote, you can bet any amount, that he would have been there to put it over the top.

Thanks to the plethora of Democrats voting Aye, he didn't need to waste his time coming back for a vote which was destined to go his and the repubs way.

3. He is a liar and a lazy one at that.

He is pathetic. THe most absent Senator this term and has voted with chimpy 100% of the time this year, when he shows swollen face.

5. I'll tell you why it's a Big Deal.

He conveniently missed the new GI bill, criticized it, said he was against it.

Then took credit for the Senate doing something good for the vets with the GI bill. He's a phony and playing hookey to see which way the wind blows is BULLSHIT!

6. Doesn't matter he "did not vote at all". Supposedly, this was an important

vote regardless and he did not have the guts to even vote one way or the other. That will come back to haunt him as the days go on or rather he can not even say anything about how Barack voted because he didn't vote at all. What kind of a leader is that, running for President and doing what he did. Its a big enough deal.

7. Yeah, heck, why should anybody in Congress vote unless they feel like it?

It's not like it's their job or anything, or they get any benefits from it ...
