Romney administration calls for Kerry to resign
By Associated Press | June 15, 2004

BOSTON --The Romney administration called Tuesday for Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry to resign while he runs for president, saying he's had an abysmal attendance record since launching his campaign last year and is not adequately representing his constituents.

Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, a Republican, said Kerry has missed 64 percent of last year's roll call votes and 87 percent this year, including a vote on banning Internet child pornography.

He also missed a vote on extending unemployment insurance benefits, which was defeated by one vote.

"It's not fair, it's not right and the public is not being well-served," said Healey, who said she was acting on behalf of Gov. Mitt Romney. "I'm calling on John Kerry to resign so that we can fill that office with someone who is 100 percent devoted to the job of representing the people of Massachusetts."

A spokesman for the Kerry campaign did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Kerry, who is to receive the Democratic nomination for president at next month's national convention in Boston, said in February that he had no plans to resign his Senate seat.

Under current state law, the governor would appoint someone to fill the remainder of Kerry's term, which is set to expire in 2008.

Did Romney call for Junior to resigneth as Governor of Texas in 2000?

[Warham]

He should resign. He says Bush isn't doing his job, hypocrite.

Verily, Romney careth nothing of the people of Massachussettes and only lusteth after the power to appoint a Republican senator. He was once one of My Mormon children, but he hath forgotten My teachings :(

My question is how many times did Kerry vote for an issue only to vote against it when politically advantageous?

The fcat is though, If he isn't there then Mass. is not being represented and that is a problem for unemployed workers who now have no more insurance.

I left my post as a security guard just long enough to walk this awesome looking nurse to her car many years ago....They didn't ask me to resign, they just fired me for getting a blow job on duty, lol.

Bob Dole stepped down, so should Kerry.

In fact, when you run for a higher office, I think you should automatically have to give up the lower position.

I think John Kerry should resign his senate seat since he's running for president at this moment but he won't because he knows he's going to lose in November against President Bush & his ego won't let him!
