[Hon]

This has been posted to several threads, but it seems to justify a thread of its own.

Good Job !

[FairOpinion]

Great job. We'll be using it as reference.

It is definitely good to have it as it's own threat -- I hope the Admin Mod will forgive me and leave it in Breaking News, so it will stay up. We do need to be focusing on Kerry for the past 30 years, not Kerry's 4 months in Vietnam.

Would we want a president during a time of war and crisis who has been CONSISTENTLY against doing anything to defend our country?

[FairOpinion]

Could you please post your excellent reference post about Kerry's votes to this thread also, it would make good reference.

BUMP FOR GREAT RESEARCH!

Just to add this brief, but effective article to this reference thread:

Kerry's Inner Dove
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1083514/posts

EXCERPT:

"But George McGovern also could boast that he was "a decorated combat pilot in World War II," while his opponent "was stationed far from battle," and McGovern nonetheless lost 49 states, largely because the voters thought him weak on national security. Kerry may not project a similar image of weakness, but the record he has compiled in the three decades since he left Vietnam is more dovish than that of any Democratic nominee since McGovern.

The litany of weapons systems that Kerry opposed included conventional as well as nuclear equipment: the B-1 bomber, the B-2, the F-15, the F-14A, the F-14D, the AH-64 Apache helicopter, the AV-8B Harrier jet, the Patriot missile, the Aegis air-defense cruiser and the Trident missile. And he sought to reduce procurement of the M1 Abrams tank, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the Tomahawk cruise missile and the F-16 jet. Time and again, Kerry fought against what he called "the military-industrial corporate welfare complex that has relentlessly chewed up taxpayers' dollars."

Kerry was one of the Senate's strongest critics of President Ronald Reagan's policies of military resistance to Communist inroads in this hemisphere.


"When he won election to the Senate in 1984, Kerry said that the "issue of war and peace" remained his "passion." As a first major foreign policy cause, he championed the "nuclear freeze." Later Kerry battled Sen. Sam Nunn, a hawkish Democrat who chaired the Armed Services Committee, over the funding of research into missile defense, which Kerry wanted to slash."

This kerry record is gonna kill him !

[FairOpinion]

Latest, this just in:

Even TODAY, Kerry wants to cut spending for missile defense!

"Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, emerging as the likely Democratic nominee, favors curtailing funding. Bush pressed his case for the system and restated the rationale for a missile shield in a major policy address this month, warning of emerging black markets that peddle nuclear materials. "

BUMP - PING - BOOKMARKING.

John Kerry's Voting Record on Defense Cuts (All the cuts he now accuses Zell Miller of lying about.)

[Kleon]

Thanks for this. Now I just need the quote where John Kerry says he will seek UN approval every time to defend America and I can shut up my roommates who say Cheney's speech was all a lie.

[Happy2BMe]

"Callers to Mike Malloy - and Malloy himself - are suggesting that Zell Miller may be suffering from alzheimers. Malloy is actually - sincerely - saying listeners should be charitable toward him, because he may be in an early stage of dementia, that would explain the hostility and paranoia, as they see it, especially on Matthews tonight."

Air America callers are saying Zell Miller has alzheimers - seriously

[hawkaw]

I hear sKerry's defence to all of this is that he voted for the annual defence bill 16 of 19 times.

What do freepers have to say to that?

My own thoughts are this record speaks for itself, all he is doing is trying to argument shift and no matter what he was the one who voted against sending armor protection in his most recent vote - the 87 Billion Dollar Bill. hawk

[flada]

I see the guy hates military pay increases. I'm going to have to research to see how he voted on his own pay increases.
