A cynical and purely political statement with no place at the table in a discussion of
FUNDING TROOPS IN THE FIELD.
Further demonstration of the liberal Dems commitment to making gains through the use of class devisive tactics. Those making over $200,000 continue to be taxed at a markedly higher rate than those making less, and continue to pay over 50% of all taxes paid (even after the tax cuts), though making up less than 3% of the population.
Additionally, he did not vote for the funding of troops in the field even after the resounding defeat of his purely political amendment above.
He continued to vote to NOT SUPPORT troops in the field. You cannot spin that, no matter how you try.
gosh, you're so right. after decades of serving his country, kerry must hate it enough to want to leave it defenseless. how could i have been so blind not to see how rational that sounds.
Whatever...Kerry has voted AGAINST:
1. B-1 bomber, B-2 stealth bomber
2. Apache helicopter
3. Patriot missile system
4. F-15, F-14A, F-14D jets
5. AV-8B Harrier jet
6. Trident missile system
7. M1 Abrams tank
8. Bradley Fighting Vehicle
9. Tomahawk cruise missile
10. F-16 jet.
Note that ALL of these implements have been used
to successfully win wars in Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq
Kerry has voted in favor of:
1. Near elimination of the CIA in the 1970’s
2. Draconian cuts to the CIA budget in 1993 even
AFTER the first Al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center
2. Freeze ALL Defense Spending
for 7 years beginning in 1996 and
transfer Funds to Social Programs
3. Placing all US forces under U.N. command
and to be used only at U.N discretion
4. Introduced Senate Bill #1580 on 2/29/96
that would have slashed Defense Dept. budget by 6.5 Billion dollars
