He voted against funding the troops. He sided with the families of the troops, whose web site address is provided. He failed to stick up for the troops in the face of communist propaganda. Where did you read he was a communist and not a family member of a US military person in Iraq?

Kerry supports the troops much more than Bush. He was a combat soldier so he has a special personal concern for brothers in arms. He has devoted much of his career to being a champion for veterans rights and issues. Cheney-Bush were both draft-dodgers who only care about the fat cats in the defense companies and getting re-elected. They also lied to us about why we were going to war in the first place and grossly mismanaged the war. Voting against the 87 billion in no way jeopardized the troops (they had plenty of funding for 3-6 months already), but it did send a strong signal that blank checks without proper accounting should no longer be given this president and his people whom we can no longer trust. Now we have seen the WMD's lies, billions wasted and scammed from that 87 billion, no accounting on Iraqi oil revenues, Halliburton double and triple billings, lots of money disappearing down a black hole and little acccountability. You tell me who's a better leader, someone who let's the pigs at the troughs of our public money or someone who demands fiscal sanity. The 87 billion had nothing to do with the troops. As Kerry said when he voted, they had plenty of time to fund the military after they had done a throgough accounting. Remember too this Bush war money is ALL deficit financing, credit card warfare. We will all have to pay for it in the future.
