Apologista alert
However, it clearly counts as a "no" vote. Legislators routinely vote "present" on bills that they might favor if they were better put together, or that don't have a bunch of wasteful pork attached.Look it up... -- Xrandadu Hutman
Does everyone get to go into the campaign booth and vote "present" if their candidate does not get the nomination, basically wimp out of their responsibilty like Obama did with his "present" votes?
If it smells like poo, it is poo. If it "clearly counts as a no vote" then why the fuk not vote NO, instead of being a little cowardly weasel about it. The "present" vote is a cheat that allows a weasel politician like Obama to say, "I did NOT vote Yes for that bill" and also say "I did NOT vote NO for that bill". Great leadership there, theres a guy ready to be president.
It is painfully and obviuously clear that this self-serving, ambitious, shallow politician has been preening himself to be palatible to as many people as possible by being luke-fukkin-warm every time he is asked to VOTE or take LEADERSHIP on anything remotely controversial.
BTW don't be sorry for using the F word, it is a very colorful and meaningful and expressive word in the English language and is blessed with many many layers of meaning. Calling somone scum is the issue, it enforces an underlying theme of the Obama campaign, that he and his folllowers are enlightened while the rest of America is... scum I guess.
