MSNBC: not many members will vote "present," on the House GOP resolution

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3626796/

<snip>

The Los Angeles Times says of the upcoming vote on the House GOP resolution, "Democrats... were debating whether to vote against it or vote 'present' to avoid being accused of not supporting the troops." A senior House Democratic aide suggests to First Read, however, that not many members will vote "present," since the real punch behind such a vote would come only if all Democrats votes that way, and a handful of them are in fact expected to vote in favor of the resolution.

2. the Dems need to not vote

and to voice loud and clear that this is a waste of tax payers money to run political events like this stunt. It isn't worth the congressional time nor the energy to run the lights for this kind of worthless drivel, as it is an empty document. They should also point out they would be happy to vote for a bill that improves the care of our vets and safety of our military personnel.
