Re: who cares about your "objection".

I guess, only people who strive to be accurate... aren't you one of them?

"They were no shows."

Correct, they did not show up for the cloture vote, as their votes were not needed to defeat the motion, and they were off campaigning. (They did say that if the cloture motion had succeeded, they would have returned to Washington to cast votes against the amendment. And, as I've already pointed out, several who voted FOR the proposal to end debate and move to floor consideration of the amendment proposal, had already indicated they would have in turn voted *against* the amendment... such as Senator Warner, etc.)

Headcounts reported up to 60 possible votes against the amendment --- but it never came to a vote.

As to the rest of your post --- Kerry's military record (I guess, contrasted to Bush's since, after all, this is the election year), the following links will help to illustrate the contrast.

These contain much more recent data:
