LIE NUMBER ONE Officially announcing his candidacy for president, Senator John kerry stood in front of the USS Yorktown and lied about his vote in favor of the Joint Resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq. Kerry asserted in his announcement that he voted in favor of "threatening" to use force against Iraq. Either John Kerry believes Americans cannot read or he cannot do so himself. The resolution contains the statement "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate..." It does not read that the President is authorized to use the THREAT of force. The threat was actually contained in UN Security Council Resolution 1441, I don't believe Senator Kerry got a vote on that. Kerry has repeatedly accused the president of misleading the American people and himself into supporting the war. Now it would seem that it is Senator Kerry who is doing the misleading. And if the American people are paying attention, the only one who will be mislead is Kerry himself.

LIES, UNTRUTHS AND SUBVERSION. . . From an ex-Marine: "I was stunned by the blatant lies being put forth by one Senator John Kerry. "He ranted and raved about how Bush is using the troops for political purposes. He is cutting their pay, their benefits and if HE were President, he would fix all that. I guess Kerry has had some private revelation about how the troops are being taken care of because nothing he said is even vaguely true. He has voted anti-military for decades. "He said he has long advocated all things good for our military. RUBBISH! I can't believe he can even stand up in front of veterans, who have served this country and lie to them like that." "Here is a sample of his record: Kerry was lieutenant governor under Dukakis, one of the worst Governors in history. He was thrashed when he ran for President. Kerry was all for the passes for murderers and rapists which, once enacted, resulted in the rapes and murders of innocent people. He wants taxpayers to pay for all abortions on demand, including the partial birth murders. Kerry has voted against a Balanced Budget Amendment at least five times. Kerry voted against President Bush's tax cuts, at least the 10th key Anti-Tax Relief vote of his Senate career. Kerry Voted For The Biggest Tax Increase in American History Under President Clinton. Kerry Has Voted For At Least Seven Major Reductions In Defense And Military Spending Necessary For Our National Security. In 1996, Introduced Bill To Slash Defense Department Funding By $6.5 Billion. In 1995, Voted To Freeze Defense Spending For 7 Years, Slashing Over $34 Billion From Defense. Fiscal 1996 Budget Resolution - Defense Freeze. “Harkin, D-Iowa, amendment to freeze defense spending for the next seven years and transfer the $34.8 billion in savings to education and job training.” In 1993, Introduced Plan To Cut Numerous Defense Programs, Including: Cut the number of Navy submarines and their crews Reduced the number of light infantry units in the Army down to one Reduced tactical fighter wings in the Air Force Terminated the Navy’s coastal mine-hunting ship program Forced the retirement of no less than 60,000 members of the Armed Forces in one year. Has Voted Repeatedly To Cut Defense Spending, Including: In 1993, Voted Against Increased Defense Spending For Military Pay Raise. Kerry voted to kill an increase in military pay over five years. In 1992, Voted To Cut $6 Billion From Defense. In 1991, Voted To Slash Over $3 Billion From Defense, Shift Money To Social Programs. In 1991, Voted To Cut Defense Spending By 2%. Has Voted Repeatedly To Cut Or Eliminate Funding For B-2 Stealth Bomber Has Voted Repeatedly Against Missile Defense. Weapons Kerry Sought To Phase Out Were Vital In Iraq. “[K]erry supported cancellation of a host of weapons systems that have become the basis of US military might -- the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of weeks.” (Brian C. Mooney, “Taking One Prize, Then A Bigger One,” The Boston Globe, 6/19/03) Military hardware he felt we no longer need since the "cold war" is past. The money would be better spent on "social" programs. These weapons are now the core of our military might. F-16 Fighting Falcons. B-1Bs B-2As F-15 And F-16s. M1 Abrams. Patriot Missile. AH-64 Apache Helicopter Tomahawk Cruise Missile. Aegis Air-Defense Cruiser"
