The Vote Smart chart does NOT show a 1997 legislative action on Medicare/Social Security in their 'Kerry list'.
Is the Senator confused? Did he support a bill that really didn't exist? Is this like his Christmas in Cambodia? The Senator seems to have signficant memory gaps and altered realities.

Of course, nobody in the media says anything when Kerry does it, but when Cheney can't remember meeting little Johnny Ray, he's "lying."
