Impact of John Kerry's Voting record on Defense and Intelligence: CAN YOU NAME THIS COUNTRY? 709,000 REGULAR (ACTIVE DUTY) PERSONNEL. 293,000 RESERVE TROOPS. EIGHT STANDING ARMY DIVISIONS. 20 AIR FORCE AND NAVY AIR WINGS WITH 2,000 COMBAT AIRCRAFT 232 STRATEGIC BOMBERS. 19 STRATEGIC BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINES WITH 3,114 NUCLEAR WARHEADS ON 232 MISSILES. 500 ICBMs WITH 1,950 WARHEADS. FOUR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND 121 SURFACE COMBAT SHIPS AND SUBMARINES PLUS ALL THE SUPPORT BASES, SHIPYARDS, AND LOGISTICAL ASSETS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN SUCH A NAVAL FORCE IS THIS COUNTRY- RUSSIA ? NO CHINA ? NO GREAT BRITAIN ? NO FRANCE ? WRONG AGAIN MUST BE USA ? STILL WRONG (SORT OF) GIVE UP ? THESE ARE THE AMERICAN MILITARY FORCES THAT WERE ELIMINATED DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF BILL CLINTON AND AL GORE. AND their elimination was 100% SUPPORTED BY JOHN KERRY In checking Kerry's voting record, the following facts emerged: Kerry voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Kerry voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank Kerry voted to kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988 Kerry voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system Kerry voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle Kerry voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16 Kerry voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade Kerry voted to Kill the B-1 Kerry voted to Kill the B-2 Kerry voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system Kerry voted to Kill the FA-18 Kerry voted to Kill the B-2 Kerry voted to Kill the F117 Kerry voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988, including a bill for battle armor for our troops. With Sen. John Kerry as President and Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, and with his demonstrated voting record, can the US Armed Forces continue to function effectively throughout the world to defend and protect the American people if he becomes its leader? But that is not all.After voting to decimate our Armed Forces arsenal: John Kerry voted to kill all anti-terrorism activities of each and every agency of the U.S. Government. Kerry voted to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%. Kerry voted to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%. Kerry voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%. THEN, and this is abhorrent to almost every American Voter be you Democrat, Republican or Independent, Kerry voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800% !! Ask yourself Is THIS the person you want as President of these United States providing for the Common Defense of the Nation and Leader of the Free World ? Voting history can be accessed through Senate voting records where the above information was obtained. Joh Kerry told us to check his record: We did! And it is not a record which demonstrates the kind of leadership we need in the continuing War On Terror.
