political : REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN SAYS FIVE DAY WORK WEEK IS TOO LONG [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Thu Dec 07, 06 - Tue Sep 01, 09 Rep. Kingston Defends 3-Day Work Week, Claims Members Can ‘Keep In Touch’ With BlackBerrys Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) is upset that the new leadership of the 110th Congress plans to work five days a week. From today’s Washington Post: “Keeping us up here eats away at families,” said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. “Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families — that’s what this says.” Today on Fox News, he defended his comments. “With BlackBerrys, cell phones, you can stay in touch with what’s going on in Washington.” Congress has tried it Kingston’s way and it didn’t work. The 109th Congress — which has “been in session for a grand total of 103 days this year” — “failed to enact a host of once top-priority legislation on issues such as overhauling Social Security, immigration and lobbying laws.” Congress even failed its basic responsibility of providing a budget for the government, completing “just two of the 11 fiscal 2006 appropriation bills.” (Think Progress) * * * * * * * * Do you agree with Rep. Kingston, that it's an outrage for a Congressman to have to work more than a three day week? Yes, it's an outrage. I'm going to write my congresssman...uh... No, a five day work week doesn't seem that unreasonable I'm shocked that he is claimed he works 3 days a week! What a douche bag! Ballot #106491 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
