I'm voting Kerry in November, but even so, I know better than to believe what any politician tells me.

And that's what kills me.

I've found that I'm voting for the lesser of two evils more and more often.

The lines are blurred these days as to where the Republican Party ends and the Democratic Party begins.
They all bow to the special interests with the same end result. We the people get screwed.
The only reason I won’t vote for a third party candidate is because I’d be throwing my vote away and I can’t stand to see another 4 years of Bush.

It’s funny how my company has Conflict of Interests policies, but the President of the U.S. can make himself and his friends and family rich…er, more rich, at the expense of our servicemen.

..of the John Kerry statement "I voted for it before I voted against it".

I have a very strong suspicion your assumption/understanding of what he said has been twisted by simple-minded right-wing BS artists...

Since I saw the speach, his complaint in a nutshell was that he wanted to know where the funding was going to come from. He wanted Iraq to pay.
Everyone knows what his reasoning was. But as I have stated in another thread somewhere on this site, it is my feeling that he needed something to set him apart from George Bush so he refused to fund the troops. The problem with this is THE TROOPS NEEDED THE MONEY AND IF YOU COMPARE IT TO A CHILD NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT YOU TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND PAY FOR IT LATER. The troops need wasn't a want it was a need.

of course....

He voted FOR the amendment that would have made bush get the money from somewhere OTHER than adding to the deficit. That amendment failed, and he then cast a protest vote AGAINST the funds on principal. The vote was overwhelmingly going to pass, the troops were going to get the money so he cast a PROTEST vote that he disagreed with where the funds were going to come from....NOT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE USED FOR...

I hope that clears it up for you.

You have to understand... Therese believes this is a holy war, i.e. that Bush is sent from God, so all the soldiers who die will go directly to heaven. This is just like the Muslims, except of course, our guys REALLY, REALLY get to go to heaven , their guys don't.

She's "okay" with the our guy's deaths. Death = Heaven! (Well, if you are Christian. Otherwise, Death = Hell)

He voted AGAINST it for one reason. Because he was in the middle of the Primary campaign where much of his base is anti-war. John Kerry was one of ONLY 12 Senators who voted AGAINST it. And so did John Edwards. They were BOTH competing with Anti-War Howard Dean who was in the lead at the time. In fact, Sen John Kerry had this to say earlier about the $87 billion dollars:

"Asked if he would vote against the $87 billion if his amendment did not pass, Kerry said, "I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible."

Kerry argued that his amendment offered a way to do it properly, "but I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job."


John Kerry would sell his soul........
