President Bush
called for the passage of BioShield nearly a year ago. I guess the discovery of sarin and mustard gas in Iraq finally convinced 99 out of 100 Senators to get on the ball and fund this protective program.
Wondering who was the lone Senator not to vote for BioShield? John Kerry! Apparently, attacking President Bush on the campaign trail is more important than protecting Americans from known chemical weapons in the hands of terrorists.

Apparently Kerry thinks it is perfectly okay for the terrorists to hit us with chemical weapons.
What a low life.

Wasn't it sKerry who was taking potshots at W for visiting Nascar, and other campaign stops?

Apparently, attacking President Bush on the campaign trail is more important than protecting Americans from known chemical weapons in the hands of terrorists.In due fairness to Senator Kerry, this was not a vote where his attendance was particularly important. 99-0 is just as good as 100-0.
Of course, there *was* another vote he missed (I can't think of it at the moment but I'm sure somebody else will) that he would have been the deciding vote for.

I hope to soon see the Bush ad pointing out that the only U.S. Senator who did not vote for "BioShield" is John Kerry.

I hope to soon see the Bush ad pointing out that the only U.S. Senator who did not vote for "BioShield" is John Kerry. Is it just me, or do other people think John Kerry is weak on the War on Terror and Homeland Security? Your idea is a good one.

Bump for the key words, and an anti-bump for the wayward John Effin' "You Mean I Still Gotta Show UP?!" Kerry.

Actually, he did vote for it. Then he voted against it. Then he withdrew both votes.

This is the guy who wants to make an issue of whether or not George W. Bush showed up for a dental exam 30 years ago. I guarantee Kerry has been AWOL from the Senate a lot more times than Bush was ever absent from the National Guard.

John Kerry is giving himself fewer and fewer talking points on the stump with each missed vote. First the failure of the Democratic extension of unemployment benefits bill and now this, because he was too busy trying to get ahead in life by campaigning against legislation that passed and for legislation that failed.
