Basskisser,
When I heard that information about Kerry, it did not sound correct to
me,
but I have not been able to find the correct information about Kerry's
attendance at intelligence committee meetings and the minutes at the
meeting. Did you actually find some info to disprove the statements
that
are being made?


And another:

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts called on Sen. John
Kerry
to release his Intelligence Committee attendance records on Sunday - as
controversy swirled over claims that the top Democrat was mostly a
no-show
during important hearings.

"The easiest way out of this is for John Kerry and John Edwards to
request
[Committee Vice Chairman] Sen. Rockefeller and myself to release the
attendance [records]," Roberts told NBC's "Meet the Press."

I would like to see where Bass is getting his information from also.


See below, broken record Jim--

You have not provided anything other than to say it is common knowledge,
which it is not. So where are you getting your information Bass?

It's just common knowledge. I thought that anybody who thought they
knew anything about the United States congress, knew that, when
congressmen are on committees, that much of that time is spent in
private session, John Smith. Also, you probably don't know this
either, but when congress is in session, the congressmen come and go,
they may pop in for an hour, then go to a private meeting, etc. Not
knowing that, you also probably don't know that, unless they actually
speak, there attendence won't be in the meeting minutes.

thirty-eight of those forty-nine hearings

Yeah, but as usual, the right wing spin doctors are at work, making it
sound as if Kerry simply decided not to be involved. Nothing is
further from the truth. Why must you righties lie ALL of time? Meeting
minutes are available to the congressmen, if they so choose. In those
meeting minutes, which Kerry has explained because of the lying right
wing, you'd see that in almost all of those thirty eight times, he WAS
there, but was in private session. You righties spin well, I must say,
because most don't know or realize that a lot of the time in committee
meetings is spent in private sessions, along with other members.

Basskisser,

I did know that there are many private sessions,

I did not know that those present at a meeting were not noted in the
minutes. According to Robert Rules the minutes should reflect those
committee members who are in attendance.

When did Congress stop using Robert Rules?

If their attendance at meetings were not noted, why did the current chair of
the Intelligence Committee say he would release the information if Kerry
would authorize the committee to do so?

Sorry, but that is not what is being asked for. Nice try.

Basskisser,
You must have misunderstood the question, I was not looking for information
on Roll Call Votes on the Senate Floor, but : " Kerry's attendance at
intelligence committee meetings and the minutes at the
meeting. Did you actually find some info to disprove the statements that
are being made?"

I have heard wild allegations that Kerry did not attend one public hearing
the year after the 1994 WTC bombing and that Kerry missed the majority of
the IC public and private meetings. I have not heard how the accusers got
this information, and I have not heard how you know it is incorrect.

Seems like Kerry could clear up a lot of things if he opened up his military
records and attendance record for the closed Intelligence Committee meetings
he *allegedly* attended.

And as was previously requested, perhaps you can show where you got your
information from.

It's common ****ing knowledge, for god's sake! Did you not KNOW that
there are many, many private session meetings for congressional
committees?

There's no reason to "cooperate" with right-wing trash, no matter where
it is found. Right-wing trash is not interested in truth.
