I have to correct a little of this source. Kerry is even worse. I also posted some of his easiest to find lowlights on bills he cosponsored or sponsored. That's not counting his voting record.

Safety Devices on All New Guns
Actually Kerry wants to ban all so called unsafe guns. The Small Print is from 1997-1998 congress - Bill S2185

Background Checks on Gun Show Purchases

We have that now, but Kerry goes way beyond that by banning gun shows through red tape, through registering all vendors and banning private sales. (1999-2000 - S443)

Require Safety Course, License Before Gun Purchase

Somewhat favor for Kerry? Considering that he pushed for a $10 license fee for ammo dealers, putting ammo under the same rules as firearms, bans all 'armor piercing' ammo that isn't designed for what the Sec of Treasury calls "Sporting purposes", I have no doubt where he really stands.

Allow Lawsuits Against Gun Manufacturers Somewhat Favor

He;s fillibustering....

The Patriot Act Strongly Opposes

He voted for that freedom grab, and now he 'opposes it'??? BS. He had his stance to take a lead on it and he failed immensely as he is a failure of a senator.

The War in Iraq Somewhat Opposes

Didn't he vote for that as well?

Embargo on Cuba Somewhat Favor
Considering he backed PNTR for China, backed the Sandinistas, and also opposed any aid for Afghanastan when they were helping the Soviets, I have to doubt this too. He's likely just staying quiet about it so he doesn't make the Cubans mad like Klinton did.

U.S. Involvement in NAFTA Strongly Favor

And MFN for China too, and I'm making sure this gets out to the union membership since I doubt the union leaders will do so.

Mandatory Labor/Environment Standards in Trade Agreements Somewhat Favor

Bwahahahahha. His past record says otherwise. At least Bush is honest about the trade stances, even if I disagree with them.

Additional Tax Cuts for Businesses Strongly Opposes
Who Hoo! More jobs going overseas. Thanks Johnny.

Also Back in 85-86, he backed increasing superfund by rasing excise taxes.(S Amendment 577)

He also pushed to raise tobacco taxes, and voted for Klinton's 1993 tax.

Tougher Fuel Efficiency Standards Strongly Favor
At the cost of more jobs. -------------

That said, John Kerry is so bad, if he wins, I'll be wishing for the days of Bill Klinton. He's IMO the worst of all the dems running
