AS, your response had absolutely nothing to do with my post. Why bother posting if you do not want to talk issues? The issue in this case is John Kerry. Kerry does not need any money, his wife provides for him, so why does he take a paycheck and not work? That is morally wrong. He should not be receiving the paycheck. He does not vote nor represent the people instead he only thinks of himself. The campaign is too long. People have made up their minds and only Kerry supporters fo to listen to Kerry, and the same goes for Bush, so why do we have people avoiding doing their jobs? Give them Fridays off, and allow them to campaign on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They do not need to say the samething everyday. Campaign reform is needed, not just with the financials, but with the candidates. John Kerry hurt many people when he did not vote. That was his responsibility to do. He failed people last week. Stay on issue. Kerry does not vote for unemployment benefit package Senate comes one vote shy of extending federal unemployment benefits WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate by a single vote rejected an election-year effort Tuesday to extend federal unemployment benefits. Democrats tried to attach the benefit to a corporate tax bill. On a 59-40 vote in the GOP-controlled Senate, they fell just shy of the 60 votes needed to overcome objections that extending the benefits violated last year's budget agreement. Massachusetts Sen . John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was the only senator who missed the vote. Kerry was campaigning Tuesday in Kentucky. The amendment would have offered emergency federal unemployment benefits for six months, temporarily giving 13 weeks of extra assistance to people who exhaust their state benefits.
