Ed Markey's 'present' vote on Syria sets off Twitter

One of the first major votes of Democrat Ed Markey's Senate career has Twitter all excited — and not in a good way.

The Massachusetts lawmaker, sworn in to office in July after winning a special election, voted "present" on a resolution giving President Obama limited authority to use military force against Syria. Markey, a liberal who often votes with Obama, didn't vote "yes" as 10 of his Senate Foreign Relations Committee colleagues did.

He also didn't vote "no" with seven others, including two Democrats. The "present" vote means Markey was there, but didn't want to state which side he's on. It also makes it hard — at this point — to portray Markey as opposing Obama or siding with Republican hawks.

Yes... this person took office to represent the people. Look, I don't care what his vote was, but dang it, vote yes or no for pete's sake, and back it up with facts. Voting "present" is the chicken way out.
