For the final list on the Senate No Amnesty Scorecard comes the worst group of Senators of all. Not only did they favor amnesty but did not even have the presence of mind to vote on each cloture roll call. There are probably more excuses available to address not voting than there are Senators. It is just one of those problems that does not have a valid excuse. If a member of Congress only missed one vote during their stay in office a pass might be in order. There is one member listed here that missed all four votes. It is reported he is ill and unable to vote. Based on the report we should wish a speedy recovery and make no comment on the missing votes in this case.

But the most telling item on this list is that five of the eight members on the worst of the amnesty scorecard are Presidential candidates for 2008. No, the I’m campaigning excuse doesn’t fly. Of all the dastardly things Congress can implement there should be a valid method for registering a vote so no one misses. Not voting is worse than voting badly.

So you may wish to consider all the lists and as mentioned before a summary of what Senators should stay or go will follow this post. You may also want to use this particular list in deciding on a candidate for President in 2008. Is it not interesting that the only GOP member on this list is ‘running’ for President and represents a border state. That, of course, would be Senator John McCain who says he missed his $10 million dollar fund raising goal for the 2nd quarter.

Oh well, here’s the list.

(D-DE) Biden Presidential candidate
(D-IL) Obama Presidential candidate
(D-CT) Dodd Presidential candidate
(D-NY) Clinton Presidential candidate
(D-FL) Nelson
(R-AZ) McCain Presidential candidate
(D-MA) Kerry
(D-SD) Johnson not voting due to illness
