Gephardt missed the vote on dismantling Head Start - and the measure passed by a single vote. I don't care if this is likely to die in the Senate - Gephardt could have killed it in the House. Why would I vote for a man who thinks trolling for campaign donors is mor eimportant than a vote to preserve one of the most effective and vital government programs in history?
I recall reading he'd been absent from 86ish% of votes somewhere.
I wish i could find the link :(

Posted by: timAny congressman, of any level, missing more than, say, 10-15% of their votes should not be reelected. In fact, it'd be nice if there were provisions to kick them out for missing so many votes...

Posted by: skippyIn partial answer to SayUncle's, query about where to find Gephardt's voting %, you can at least find his voting RECORD here:

He's not so hot. Just fair to middlin' on liberal causes. I still don't like him.
