but, im not sure that you can make that argument about senators... they are supposed to talk with their counterparts about policy and such.... now if you dont goto the meeting to talk about it? how can you talk about the policies that matter?
Maybe this explains why they supported the patriot act and the no child left behind bill.. but now dont support it...or maybe thats just politics.. its hard to say..

I think most of the allegations from both sides can be dismissed as political bullshit. cheney says edwards doesn't show up 76% of the time but we don't know why or what the average is ( not excusing him for this just wondering why ) it sounds bad but if that is the norm for all senators then it's not so bad. Cheney says that Kerry voted for higher taxes 98 times but then Edwards shoots back the Kerry voted for lower taxes 900+ times so who is right.
We only get the satement. Not the resons for the truth.
My favorite is the bill that they say Kerry voted against that would give flak jackets and supplies to our troops. They don't mention that this was a small add on to a huge bill that was filled with overspending on things that had nothing to do with the military. What is more telling to me is that Bush has tried to lower the pay of our soliders in combat.. . how is that supporting our troops?
