Although Kerry served the US admirably, he has a habit of turning his back on the troops.

First, right after Vietnam. Second, by voting against the funding for the war.


Has anybody else noticed that the Democrats are constantly crying about "Voter Suppression" when it comes to minorities, yet say nothing when they want to "suppress" the votes of Nader supporters...
Henry,

Kerry did NOT turn his back on the troops! That is a terrible distortion. Speaking as someone who was alive during the Vietnam War and watched it every night on the news, all Kerry did was come home and protest the war, not condemn the troops fighting it. His comments are being taken out of context and spun for political fodder.

And his vote against the $87 Billion was a political statement of protest of the way Bush went about all of this, contrary to the understanding of many in Congress on both sides of the aisle, combined with his refusal to roll back his tax cuts for the wealthy in order to finance his appropriation. Bush is great when it comes to unfunded appropriations, like, oh, "No Child Left Behind"? There is alot more to a legislators vote than meets the eye.

What the hell are you talking about regarding Nader? I'm not being sarcastic, I really don't know, fill me in!

Peace,

Jim
