LIES, UNTRUTHS AND SUBVERSION. . .
From an ex-Marine:
"I was stunned by the blatant lies being put forth by one Senator John Kerry.
"He ranted and raved about how Bush is using the troops for political purposes. He is cutting their pay, their benefits and if HE were President, he would fix all that. I guess Kerry has had some private revelation about how the troops are being taken care of because nothing he said is even vaguely true. He has voted anti-military for decades.
"He said he has long advocated all things good for our military. RUBBISH! I can't believe he can even stand up in front of veterans, who have served this country and lie to them like that."
"Here is a sample of his record:
Kerry was lieutenant governor under Dukakis, one of the worst Governors in history. He was thrashed when he ran for President. Kerry was all for the passes for murderers and rapists which, once enacted, resulted in the rapes and murders of innocent people. He wants taxpayers to pay for all abortions on demand, including the partial birth murders.
Kerry has voted against a Balanced Budget Amendment at least five times.
Kerry voted against President Bush's tax cuts, at least the 10th key Anti-Tax Relief vote of his Senate career.
Kerry Voted For The Biggest Tax Increase in American History Under President Clinton.
Kerry Has Voted For At Least Seven Major Reductions In Defense And Military Spending Necessary For Our National Security.
In 1996, Introduced Bill To Slash Defense Department Funding By $6.5 Billion.
In 1995, Voted To Freeze Defense Spending For 7 Years, Slashing Over $34 Billion From Defense.
Fiscal 1996 Budget Resolution - Defense Freeze. “Harkin, D-Iowa, amendment to freeze defense spending for the next seven years and transfer the $34.8 billion in savings to education and job training.”

Weapons Kerry Sought To Phase Out Were Vital In Iraq. “[K]erry supported cancellation of a host of weapons systems that have become the basis of US military might -- the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of weeks.” (Brian C. Mooney, “Taking One Prize, Then A Bigger One,” The Boston Globe, 6/19/03)
