Personally I think you people need to get off your crack. John Kerry is an opportunist, pure and simple. John Kerry has opposed almost ever major defense authorization and program during his years in the White House. He oppossed : B-1 bomber, B-2 stealth bomber, AH-64 Apache, F-15, F-14A, F-14D fighter jets, AV-8B Harrier jet, Aegis air-defense cruiser, Trident missle system. Furthermore he : voted to cut back the M1 Abrams tank, Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the Tomahawk cruise missile and the F-16. Voted to cut more than $3 billion from defense in 1991 and shift the money to social programs. Voted to cut $6 billion from defense in 1992, Republicans and Democrats alike were against Kerry. Opposed a military pay raise in 1993. Introduced a plan in 1993 to cut the number of Navy submarines and their crews, reduce tactical fighter wings in the Air Force, terminate the Navy's coastal mine-hunting ship progam, force the retirement of 60,000 members of the armed forces in one year, and reduce the number of light infantry units in the Army to one. The plan was DOA. Voted to freeze defense spending in 1995 for seven years, cutting more than $34 billion from defense. Introduced a bill in 1996 to cut Defense Department funding by $6.5 billion. Kerry had NO Sponsors from ANYONE. Voted yes on a fiscal 1996 budget resolution that would have frozen defense spending for the next 7 years and transferred the $34.8 billion in savings to social programs. It was rejected. Kerry says he favors missle defense now but : he voted no on the Defend America Act of 1996. He voted no on the American Missle Protection Act of 1998, but voted yes on the Cochran-Inouye National Missle Defense Act of 1999. He opposed funding Patriot Missile System. In 1994 he proposed to cut $1 billion from intelligence. In 1995, the senator voted to cut $80 million from the FBI's budget and introduced a bill that would have reduced the intelligence budget by $1.5 billion by 2000.
Kerry has opposed all attempts to ban gruesome partial-birth abortions. He voted to allow federal taxpayer funding of abortions and to provide abortion clinics. Though he claims to be a Catholic, if elected president he would would appoint only pro-abortion judges.
1989-90 voted against tax cut in capital gains. 1993-94 voted against an amendment to reduce spending by $94 billion. Voted for the largest tax increase in history. 1995-96 voted against bipartisan plan to balance the budget in seven years. 1997-98 voted against approving a GOP budget to cut spending and taxes. Voted against a balanced-budget constitutional amendment. 1999-2000 voted against reducing federal taxes by $792 billion over 10 years. 2001 voted against Bush's tax relief, a $1.35 trillion package to reduce income-tax rates, alleviate the marriage penalty and gradually repeal the estate tax. Voted to reduce Bush's proposal by $448 billion over 10 years. In April 2002, Kerry flip-flopped by calling for a tax cut even larger than the one passed in 2001.

) and he said that Kerry's economic plan would be very bad. He even said Ben Stein (actor and wealthy man) said that it would be bad. He had taken a course on economics and studied politics.
