Veterans for.......

Well I am hearing tons of news about how John Kerry has the support of the veterans. Amazing thing is I am a veteran of the US Army and I generally only socialize with other veterans. Not one of us would ever vote for that man. We have all pledged our support for President Bush. John Kerry has proven himself to veterans with his treasonous acts after returning home from Vietnam. I will give the man his due credit for going over and fighting even if he did cut his tour short with 3 Purple Hearts. I was not there and cannot dispute how or why he earned them so I won't go into that. What I will get into is his anti military and intelligence voting record as a Senator as well as some of the legislation he introduced.

Little things like S. 1290, Introduced by Senator Kerry on 9/29/95 that would cut intelligence spending by $1.5 billion dollars or $300 million a year from 96-01. The bill had no co-sponsor and died before it hit the floor.

He introduced S. 1580, Introduced 2/29/96 that would cut defense spending by about $6.5 billion and specifically targeted programs like the Apache helicopter, the Abrams MBT, Patriot missile systems, F-15/16 planes, Tomahawk cruise missiles and B-1 & B-2 bombers.

Want more then that? How about the voting record....

All these are systemns critical to the US Military. There are more records for him like these....


No excuse for special tax cuts for the rich. (Jun 2003)
Voted NO on prioritizing national debt reduction below tax cuts. (Apr 2000)
Voted NO on 1998 GOP budget. (May 1997)
Voted NO on Balanced-budget constitutional amendment. (Mar 1997)

Isn't part of his platform now to balance the budget? What was he waiting for? Oh yea that's right a run at being the President when he could then propose it and look like the good guy.

Tax cuts for the rich? Hell no he would not do that. Why? Because he is estimated to be worth somewhere between $1 & 3 billion dollars. If he elected he would be the richest President to this date, and not by a few dollars but by a few billion. The wealthiest before that was estimated at about $26 million. Comparison of the last sitting Dem would be Clinton who had a net worth of less the $1 million as President.

His voting record (when he has time to make it to vote!) is appalling. He has a long history of voting against issues that are critical to Americans. For more on his voting record.


How can veterans side with this person who has a clear record of voting against the very tools the military needs to do it's job? The same man who voted to GO TO war with Iraq but then voted no when it came time to fund the war. This man is no friend of the military and he has the record to prove it.
