Balking Senators

Yet another example on why I think Senators don’t make good Presidents, especially those still serving. Here is a perfect chance for those run for the highest office to put their votes where their mouth is and they balk.

Not Voting - 5
Biden (D-DE) Clinton (D-NY)
Dodd (D-CT) McCain (R-AZ)
Obama (D-IL)

There is little doubt where McCain would have voted so maybe that’s why Captain Ed gives him a pass while taking the Democrats to task. When decisiveness is needed, you have the four Democrats running for possible deniability. They probably don’t want to upset the Moveon.org sugar daddy who is calling for the immediate pull out of Iraq. I guess they don’t want to be caught like Kerry did.

Senators politic and nuiance every thing to death when leadership is needed. We need a President that will make a stand and have their word mean something.
Aaron Tippin had a song a while ago that says it all when comes to Senators.

He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything
