The RNC has been totally lying about Kerry's military and intelligence votes: This is why Kerry doesn't mind running on his record:

Per Time Magazine's fact-checking, Kerry's vote on CIA funding was to "scale back money for expensive spy satellites and put more into human intelligence'. Quote unquote.

Here's another one. "Kerry voted ten times in 1990 against weapons" (we used in Iraq) Per Time, "Actually it was only one vote against an appropriates bill that funded all these weapons. Dick Cheney, then Defense Secretary, also wanted to reduce funding for these same weapons syetems".

Here's one more. "Kerry voted to cut funding for the MX and the B-2 bomber -- but it was Bush Sr. who halted production of MX and Republicans who opposed building more B-2's."

Clear enough for you? The RNC is telling you dittoheads lies. and people like Hannity and Limbaugh are repeating them. Kerry is very strong when it com to counter-terrorism and defense, but he cares more about the human assets and soldiers than he does huge boondoggle weapons systems which we don't need post Cold War.
