One can follow the progression of this bill and how after this it went on to be signed by President Bush on 4/1/2004, and became public law 108-212.

Bush has to hammer home Kerry's Senate record. He has a horrible record. He has never had his name on a piece of legislation that has passed and he was not present on the vote to increase unemployment benefits. He is a pathetic loser. That is why he runs on his Vietnam record - that's all he has and even that is questionable!

I am stumped as to why the Republicans have not made a huge issue of Kerry's Senate voting record, which is somewhere to the left of Karl Marx...

"Murder babies any way you want," says John Kerry. "It's okay with me."

I believe that Bush will hammer home Kerry's record on this and other issues. When America learns fully how Kerry voted on this and some other issues, Kerry will lose.

Jeez, Louise...you mean Kerry actually showed up in the Senate to..to.. vote?

Any comments concerning Kerry's vote on this bill?

BUMP FOR SUPPORT SWIFTVETS HERE... http://www.swiftvets.com/

There was a statement I read on a website concerning this bill stating that Kerry hasn't been there to vote very often this year and when he does show up to vote it kinda makes you wish that he hadn't.

I believe it was at http://www.nysrighttolife.org

But Kerry believes that "life begins at conception", right?

At least, today...

By the way...which way IS the wind blowing?

I second that bump to support swiftvets.

Look like Kerry's partial voting record. I didn't find his vote concerning The Unborn Victims of Violence Act.
