Kerry claims he supports the troops - hogwash, he's been against them for years and his voting record is proof even for an ass kisser such as yourself. Come up for air sometime. 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 Tenth 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 Reduce the number of light infantry units in the Army down to one Reduce tactical fighter wings in the Air Force Terminate the Navy’s coastal mine-hunting ship program Force the retirement of no less than 60,000 members of the Armed Forces in one year.

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" Lastly - he's unelectable as President now and forever and that dummy Bush kicked his sorry ass but good.
