The list goes on and on over the last 3-7 years where kerry and kennedy voted in lockstep and opposed to mccain...only 2 instances did I find where kerry went against kennedy and with mccain last year..both pertaining to defense/military.
Don't try to give me this garbage about Kerry voting more like mccain than kennedy...it just isnt true.

>>Kerry has voted with McCain vs. how many times he's voted with Kennedy in the past 3-7 years.

Prove it. As far as I know Kerry has ALWAYS voted EXACTLY like Chappy the murderer.

Congressional Quarterly found that in 2003, Kerry voted with Kennedy 93 percent of the time on roll-call votes in which both men were present. While that might seem like a lot, it was, historically, a rather low number for Kerry; who voted with Kennedy 100 percent of the time on key votes in 2001, 1999, 1998, 1993, 1992, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, and 1985,.
