from the video (http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036) , why do you think fellow democratic senator john edwards blasted obama for his tactics of just voting "present" on important issues. do we really want a president who would do the same when he's in the oval office?

ahem, "The Buck stops Here"?

I think it might have been pretty cool if Bush had abstained from invading Iraq until he figured out WTF he thought he was going to do there.

For that matter, it might be pretty good if he'd try a little harder to catch bin Laden.   I suppose that might piss off the saudis, though.

left-nuts, what say you?!

it's what most people do most of the time.

I think you need to get a life if you can't find something better to complain about, like lapel pins.

Now if you want to talk about abstaining from WHAT and why, then we may have something to talk about.  I would usually abstain from syphilitic pussy, but you are welcome to it.

abstain all you want. i'm sure it'll be ok if our next president will abstain from fixing our economy. i'm sure you'll be ok, too, when he raises your taxes.

if they're left the fuck alone, Americans usually WILL fix their economy - Bill Clinton proved that.

If we could find some Republicans who could just be happy fucking a chorus line or something, instead of raping the entire country, we'd be just fine.
