om... I love all the slimey efforts to slander a hero like John Kerry. Wasn't that Kerry /Fonda cutout fascinating LOL Kind of reminds one of all the claims that Oswald's head was a cut & paste job ! http://www.geocities.com/tom5515/rise.htm You're right, it is asinine to drag up 30-year old foolishness. People change, mature, and grow. Looking at "experience," if we were voting for which guy we thought would be better to lead a platoon through a rice paddy, Kerry would be the guy, hands down. Unfortunately, we're debating which guy should lead the whole country as Commander in Chief, and Kerry's record over the last decade in Congress indicates that he's simply a "tax and spend" liberal that has the bad judgement to vote against every major defense program that is currently in place. The Stealth Fighter, B1 Bomber, and numerous other assets have saved countless American lives in battle, making our fighting forces something that our enemies fear. Thank God we have these programs in place now! Nobody did a "cut and paste" on Kerry's record, but I'm sure the Kerry campaign would love to try! ;^) I notice even the National Journal sees him has having the "most liberal roll call votes, outranking even Kennedy and Clinton," using a process developed at CNN, and done by the Brookings Institiution: http://www.drudgereport.com/mattjk11.htm Honestly, I see this as a good thing, as it will make everyone's choice more clear, either way, and that's what our representative democracy is all about. -- Stinger |

Thank God we have these programs in place now! Actually, I have seen, even on Faux News Channel, that "all those votes" against those defense systems were but a single vote on a single appropriations bill, and that he voted against that appropriations bill because of all the pork in it, not because of those defense systems. The RNC is spinning it to sound like he consistantly voted against defense, when such was not the case. |

The RNC is spinning it to sound like he consistantly voted against defense, when such was not the case. Sorry, Brenda Ann, but you are mistaken -- these votes, campaigns, and (thankfully failed) Kerry-introduced bills happened over his 19-year tenure in Congress. Here's a quick partial digest from the last decade, taken from multiple congressional sessions of votes to weaken national security: 1995: Proposed Bill Cutting $1.5 Billion From Intelligence Budget. Kerry introduced a bill that would "reduce the Intelligence budget by $300 million in each of fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000." There were no cosponsors of Kerry's bill, which never made it to the floor for a vote. (S. 1290, Introduced 9/29/95) 1995: Voted To Slash FBI Funding By $80 Million. (H.R. 2076, CQ Vote #480: Adopted 49-41: R 9-40; D 40-1, 9/29/95, Kerry Voted Yea) 1994: Proposed Bill To Gut $1 Billion From Intelligence And Freeze Spending For Two Major Intelligence Programs. Kerry proposed a bill cutting $1 billion from the budgets of the National Foreign Intelligence Program and from Tactical Intelligence, and freezing their budgets. The bill did not make it to a vote, but the language was later submitted (and defeated - see below) as S. Amdt. 1452 to H.R. 3759. (S. 1826, Introduced 2/3/94) 1997: Kerry Questioned Growth Of Intelligence Community After Cold War. "Now that that [Cold War] struggle is over, why is it that our vast intelligence apparatus continues to grow even as Government resources for new and essential priorities fall far short of what is necessary? ." (Senator John Kerry Agreeing That Critic's Concerns Be Addressed, Congressional Record, 5/1/97, p. S3891) When His Bill Stalled In Committee, Kerry Proposed $1 Billion Cut As Amendment Instead. Kerry proposed cutting $1 billion from the National Foreign Intelligence Program and Tactical Intelligence budgets, and freezing their budgets. The amendment was defeated, with even Graham, Lieberman and Braun voting against Kerry. (Amdt.. To H.R. 3759, CQ Vote #39: Rejected 20-75: R 3-37; D 17-38, 2/10/94, Kerry Voted Yea; Graham, Lieberman And Braun Voted Nay) After all the above, he has the nerve to say this, after 9/11 12 Days After 9/11: Kerry Questioned Quality Of Intelligence. "And the tragedy is, at the moment, that the single most important weapon for the United States of America is intelligence. . And we are weakest, frankly, in that particular area. So it's going to take us time to be able to build up here to do this properly." (CBS's "Face The Nation," 9/23/01) -- Stinger |
