VOTING RECORD
As we approach November, americans need to understand how republican negative rhetoric works. Bush and friends will spend a bizzillion dollars to show you how John Kerry can't make up his mind on the "issues". They'll call him a flip flopper, and point to his voting record. When it comes to congressional voting one needs to understant that it's not the title of the bill they are voting for, but the content. Bad bills for good causes are constantly being introduced, and if you've been in Congress as long as Sen. John Kerry, and you actually read the bills, there's no way you're going to vote consistantly along any theme. Things like constitutionality, accountablity for monies given, and line item add on's often prevent a man of conscience from always voting "for the military" or "against crime". Congress-persons have a way of sneaking in "pet" schemes into larger issue bills causing it to get voted down, not because nobody wants to help unwed mothers but because nobody in Nebraska wants to pay for an overpass in Tennessee. If only it could be as cut and dry as the GOP wants you to believe. Being that George W. has no voting record in congress, take a look at Cheney's. Kerry won't ask you to, because he's operating above those lowly politics, but not me. I urge people to look into Dick's voting record as well as G.W.'s record as Gov. of Texas. See what horrible anti-ecological bills he introduced. See how many people he (pro-life) sentenced to death. Remember, pro-choice is not pro-abortion as the GOP would lead you to believe. Look through the spin america and see what's really what.
