It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

If you look down a few posts you will see that John Waffles Kerry decided to take a day out of his busy schedule of campaigning for President to actually fulfill his duty as a Senator and vote on legislation. Well, it turns out that the vote was delayed (perhaps in honor of his triumphant return to his duties as a Senator) and Kerry missed out on the vote.

Despite the fact that Bush does not control the agenda and day to day happening on the Hill, Kerry has lashed out with a barage of childish accusations leading the folks here at Esoteric * Diatribe to sing

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

So lets take a look at as article dealing with The Waffler's remarks:

Democrat John Kerry criticized Republicans on Wednesday for denying him a chance to cast a Senate vote, blaming a partisan culture created by President Bush and calling his rival "the greatest divider as a president in the modern history of this country."

...

"But oh, no," Kerry said at the fund-raiser. "Oh, no. Not in this Senate, not with these people. Once again, it's my way or the highway, shut the door, lock the people out, don't let them take part in the democracy, don't respect the institution. Don't show the common courtesies that actually bring people together to find the common ground. So they found a way all day to twiddle their thumbs, do very little, attend a reception at the White House, but not let John Kerry vote.

"That's the way the play," Kerry continued. "That's what's at stake in this race. George Bush talked about being a uniter, not a divider. But he's been the greatest divider as a president in the modern history of this country. And we need to change."

Bush spokesman Steve Schmidt said Kerry's lashing out at Bush for being denied an opportunity to vote is "baseless" when Kerry has been absent for more than 80 percent of the votes this year, including others to improve veterans benefits and financially support the troops in Iraq.

...

Several Republicans, speaking on condition of anonymity, said GOP senators were in no mood to rearrange the Senate's schedule on Tuesday to accommodate the Democratic presidential contender. Meeting at their weekly lunch, several Republican senators said the GOP, as the majority party, should not go out of its way to assist Kerry.

...

"These people are so petty, so sad, so political, that all they could do is spend the whole day finding a way not to let John Kerry vote," Kerry said in a speech to the Service Employees International Union.
