PRESENT

Is this how our Representatives in the UN will be voting on proposals and resolutions?

It seems it would be the appropriate display of respect for "The Messiah". If all else fails, we can direct blame to those that vote AYE or NAY. At least if we all vote neutral, we will never be wrong, right? Let's all stand up proudly and cast our votes the same way our new leader has 129 times.

PRESENT.

i didn't think congress or the senate did anything that required voting 129 times in 2 years. i wonder what the 129 items were? how many more were there?

Actually I'd perfer it they all just voted "present". When Congress actually passes something it makes me nervous. A Congress at a stand still can do no harm.

It was 8 years in the state Senate 1997- 2004 for the 13th District.

I think the point was that House nor the Senate does much of anything, and even over the course of two years 129 items up for vote seems like an awful lot. That's nearly 65 a year, more than 5 a month, more than one a week.

But so far this year, in the Senate alone, they have had more than 230 votes. Many of them are just procedural, tho, like agreeing to the amendment of the amendment of the amendment of the wording of the amendment. It's hard work.
