Any other job in America, if you had an absentee rate of over 10%, you’d immediately be fired. Seriously, think about that. It means that if you’re working a 5-day week, you just decide not to go to work once every two weeks. Would your boss like that?

• John McCain has missed 218 votes (53.3%)

• Barack Obama has missed 139 votes (34.0%)
• Sam Brownback has missed 134 votes (32.8%)
• Duncan Hunter has missed 321 votes (28.8%)
• Tom Tancredo has missed 311 votes (28.0%)
• Ron Paul has missed 276 votes (24.8%)
• Hillary Clinton has missed 76 votes (18.6%)
