I have a question about senate attendance
If you don't show up to vote then you haven't actually said yes or no to anything. How can that mean you don't support something as Cheney has asserted?

1. He's snidely implying...
that if you didn't care enough about the issue to be there to vote for it, then you must be against it. See, in their fantasy world, things are simply black and white like that, there's no room for any other interpretation.

3.  It is a black and white world to the Republican party or the Bush Wing.
Ever try to talk to people that think like that? It is like this draft thing. No one is for the draft the GOP tells us but they keep people in over the time they signed up for. Is that really a form of draft? But they swear there is no draft just people who wish to stay in.By any other name!!!!!
