From WSJ -Oct 20, 2003~~ Kerry to Soldiers: Drop Dead~~List of "No" voters for $87 billion

Sen. John Kerry, the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat who by the way served in Vietnam, loves to talk about how he served in Vietnam. As a senator, though, he seems more interested in appealing to his party's antiwar wacko left than in the well-being of those who serve in uniform today. Last October Kerry voted to send American troops into war, but on Friday he voted to defund the effort. Kerry was among only a dozen senators--11 Democrats and independent Jim Jeffords--to vote against appropriating $87 billion for military and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Here's a complete list of "no" voters:

Barbara Boxer (Calif.)
Robert Byrd (W.Va.)
John Edwards (N.C.)
Bob Graham (Fla.)
Tom Harkin (Iowa)
Fritz Hollings (S.C.)
Jim Jeffords (Vt.)
Ted Kennedy (Mass.)
John Kerry (Mass.)
Frank Lautenberg (N.J.)
Pat Leahy (Vt.)
Paul Sarbanes (Md.)
Of these 12, four deserve particular scorn: Kerry, Edwards (who also fancies himself a presidential candidate), Harkin and Hollings. They voted in favor of liberating Iraq but now wish to cut and run.
