WASHINGTON (CNN) — The presidential race in Iowa is in its final stretch, but four Democratic candidates plan on leaving the Hawkeye State Thursday morning to attend to their day jobs.
Sens. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, and Barack Obama all plan to make the trip back to Capitol Hill for a Senate farm bill vote, and a procedural vote on an energy bill, aides to the senators tell CNN’s Jessica Yellin.
While the candidates are being diverted from the campaign trail, these are can’t miss votes for the presidential candidates. One deals with commodity payments to farmers — a big issue in Iowa — and the other calls for capping carbon emissions on automobiles — a popular proposal with the Democratic base.
********************************************** But in a bit of irony, after presumably voting to lower carbon emissions, Biden, Clinton, and Obama are each chattering their own plane back to Iowa to make a Democratic debate at 2 p.m. ET. ********************************************* (Emphasis mine)
As of this writing, Dodd is still making his travel plans.

Ah, the chattering class...
Utterly amazing that these hypocrits would do this OPENLY after shoving it down OUR throats, isn’t it??
It sure showcases they don’t intend to follow laws they expect the rest of us to follow...
They do this because the MSM has always given them a pass. If we had a truly vigorous and independent press these bozos would either act rationally or disappear.
