Honest, sincere and polite question about Kerry's GW era votes
since I couldnt get an answer in another thread in GD, could someone here please summarize the votes Kerry has cast against GW since he started his stolen term? Im sure that includes the tax cuts and such, but it would be helpful for myself and others if a quick summary of his voting record over the last term was made clear. Thanks!

3. here's a good lead, from Kaisernetwork, straightforward list of votes.
If you're looking for political rationale for some votes you may need to dig further. ie, some of the much touted votes on military spending the Repubs are whining about were bipartisan "protest" votes on budget issues, some of the military votes were against expensive high tech military wish list items that had riders for more day to day needs and are now being used as flame bait by the RNC. Both parties can do this. Senate votes are never just straightforward affairs. There's a lot of give and take and posturing involved. Awkward bargaining, but its how they do it.

Anyway:

6. I have heard..
...that JK is rated right up there at the top when it comes to the issues we are interested in. He's excellent on environmental vote numbers and has been his whole career voting for the little guy.

Good 'nuff for me. Besides, it's an either or choice: bubba bush or an educated, informed and involved John Kerry. You are either with us, or your against Kerry.

That is all.
