Deborah Pryce has missed 142 votes during the current Congress.
That is 142 missed votes since January 2007. Pryce must now be working just to increase the size of her congressional retirement check. No one is docking her pay for not showing up to vote. I'd like to see one of us try that. At this point, Pryce is a member of Congress in name only.
> Sen. George Voinovich (OH-R) had some critical things to say about President Bush's gazillion dollar budget for 2009. Here is part of an article from the Dispatch:
....critics included GOP Sen. George V. Voinovich of Ohio, who called the budget fiscally irresponsible, and a spokesman for Ohio hospitals, who said Bush's bid to curtail Medicare and Medicaid would gut the institutions' finances.
Bush was the first president to issue a $2 trillion budget, in 2002, and now becomes the first to propose a $3 trillion budget....
I find it incredible that Voinovich has just come to his senses. After spending the last seven years providing the Bush administration with blank checks, Voinovich finally raises his voice in opposition to the Bush budget. Is Voinovich looking at his re-election and just following the fad of criticizing an unpopular President or does he really care?
These Ohio Republicans have allowed this current administration to have free reign over everything. Part of the reason our country is in such a mess is that these GOPers put their loyalty for their party and their President above that of their country. It is time for change.
