So where can I find Kerry's Senate record?
That's the new repug talking point, "Just look at his Senate record!!"

Sure, I'll look at it.

I like to look it without the Republican filter, of course.

So where is the "record?"

PS, A "liberal" voting record is a plus in my book. So if that's what I'm supposed to be looking for, these people who are begging me to "look at his record" are complete idiots.

at CHENEY'S dismal record. The comparison is HILARIOUS!

And whoooboy you'll get quite the SHOCK when you see just how many LIES bush & Cheney have been spewing about Kerry's record.

One for instance; Cheney's had 2...TWO...bills passed into law; Kerry's had 58.

Yet Cheney says Kerry has done nothing. ROTFLMAO!!!

And notice on the 1990s weapons bills that Kerry voted against, WHO ELSE voted against the very same bills. Oh yes, the FACTS ARE BIASED AGAINST BUSH. :)

2. My republican boss and I had a conversation yesterday
and he spouted that "Look at Kerry's Senate record" crap. So I asked him, what do you want me to look at? Do you have copies of every vote he's ever made that I can look at to see what you are talking about?
Do you have his votes tallied alongside every other Senator's vote so I can see how he voted in relation to the other Senators?

His answer, "Uh, no. I don't have copies". So I asked him how he got his information...is there some website he went on to find out how "horrible" Kerry's record is? "Uh, no. I didn't go on any website yet, but I will." So I asked him again how he knew what Kerry's record was, and how he determined that it was bad if he has never actually done any research on it. He wouldn't answer and turned red.

And my final question to him was: In the last election, did you go back and take a look at Bush's record as the Governor of Texas before you voted for him? "Uh, no, I didn't." so I asked him why...why if Kerry's record is so damn important to him now, why didn't he give the same importance to Bush's record in 2000? I told him that maybe if he would have checked Bush's record then, he would have seen what a miserable failure Bush was as a Governor. He couldn't come up with anything more to say.

5. Not sure whether you're being facetious
or not, but if you seriously want info on Senator Kerry's (or any other member of Congress')voting record, you can find the facts here:
