Beauprez goes into hiding?

This blog and others (and others and others) have wondered what Both Ways Bob is doing with himself these days. According to The Washington Post, Beauprez has missed more votes in DC than any other member of Colorado's congressional delegation. By far.

He missed votes to outlaw the slaughter of horses for human consumption, lower the costs of prescription drugs for veterans, and re-authorize the North American Wetlands Conservation Act - all issues that have major implications for Colorado. In fact, he missed every vote in congress until Sept. 13 and 14, when he popped in to toe the GOP party line on 12 straight votes. And then he took off again.

In fact, all of Colorado's Republican delegation is slacking in DC. Musgrave and Tancredo have also missed more than 40 votes. While DeGette, Salazar and Udall have all missed fewer than 40.

Maybe that $160K+ salary just isn't enough to inspire BWB to do a complete job for his constituents.

How much does the Governor make?

Call off the search for missing Congressman Beauprez!

Both Ways Bob finally showed up to vote in Congress this week -- beginning at 3:50 pm today. Nothing like a leisurely stroll into the Capitol to cast a vote here and there.

Can you believe he voted Nay on the Federal Election Integrity Act during Roll Call 458, and then 10 minutes later voted Yea during Roll Call 459 on the Federal Election Integrity Act?

He is definitely Both Ways!

Beauprez got all excited about running for congress and then got too bored to show up much. Now he's excited about being governor but already seems too bored to run much of a campaign. When we retire him from political life maybe he can keep himself amused with extreme sports.
