Bush "unsigned" the treaty after Clinton signed it. However, Congress never ratified it because Clinton told them not to.

Congress voted on the treaty, also, and voted it down unanimously. I assume then that Kerry voted against it.

Is Kerry now flip-flopping? Is he promising to ratify this treaty? If so, that would be a huge disaster, putting millions of Americans out of work and causing the tax rates to skyrocket, as well as the cost of gasoline, natural gas, heating oil, and electricity.

Wrong. Al Gore symbolically signed. There was nothing to unsign.

"However, Congress never ratified it because Clinton told them not to."

Wrong and Wrong.

Wrong.

See post 9. He voted Yea on the sense of the Senate resolution.
