Currently, the newly designed and written 106th, 107th, 108th and 109th (1999-present) Congressional sessions are available. However, the historical portion of the Key Votes program is still under construction.
John Kerry's 2005 record is not complete, but here we go for starters.
Please review his voting record.
So, during the elections we all heard a patriotic war hero Kerry tell us he was pro-defense. Remember that from the DNC and from his campaign trail?
But how did he vote?

Gee, but he said he was pro-defense and the MSM parroted everything he said so well!
Remember the hunter Kerry. The guy who was actually not so anti-gun and made sure pictures of him with a shotgun circulated?
http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?vote_id=3597&can_id=S0421103
Hmmmm, interesting isnt it? Hes not so gun-friendly after all. But the MSM didnt seem to research nor care much.
He was pro-choice and stated that. At least he didnt lie about that too. But remember his weaseling attempt at gaining support from the Catholics and moderate Americans? He stated that he was pro-choice but it was a last resort so to speak. We had to do EVERYTHING possible to prevent this in the first place. He waffled really bad! But lets take a look at his voting record in 2005.

He voted YES. Great. Thanks Mr. Kerry. I have a 4 year old daughter today, and its nice to that if in 10 years some adult takes her ACROSS the boarder into another state for an abortion which neither parent is informed about, that this is OK with you. Mr. Kerry, do you know the demographics of most the dads of these girls? That is specifically those young girls? Ill tell you, they tend to be middle aged men.

Does anyone recall the self-proclaimed unpartisan Kerry who stated Never has Washington been so divided along partisan lines?
Rice?

Recall a Kerry who spoke about renewable energy and our need to be less dependent on foreign energy?

http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?vote_id=3493&can_id=S0421103 (Dont be confused here. The wording of this makes a Yes vote against opening the ANWR)
http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?vote_id=3539&can_id=S0421103 (Especially this hits the petrol arena)
So CNN, BBC, CBS, thanks for keeping us so well informed. Your people are real great in how they follow up or do research for your 2 minute sound bite you call an in depth report.
Just saying something does not make it so. Actions speak louder than words MR. Kerry, and some people actually keep track of how you vote vs. what you say.

What the MSM does not do well is follow up, or go in depth, especially when its their boy who were talking about.

Nice! Thanks.
Many thanks.
Isn't he the guy from Vietnam?
The bottom line here is simple. During the elections he "pretended" to be moderate. He tried to manage his perception.
Reality is he's a far left whacko.

Who knew...???
And, Kerry is everlastingly consistant! He worked against the US and it's military then and he works against the US and it's military today! He was a traitor then and he is a traitor now!
Yeah, I'm surprised he doesn't talk about it more...
During the presidential campaign, didn't he release all of his military records? No wait, that was Bush.
Didn't he say that he voted FOR the $87 billion? No wait, he voted against it.
Didn't the T.O.M. (Tired Old Media) ruthlessly scrutinize his military service? No wait, that was Bush.
Didn't the T.O.M. cynically report his ties to Big Money? No wait, that was Bush.
Didn't he throw his own service medals over White House fence in protest over the Vietnam War? No wait, that was someone else's medals.
Didn't he promise to bring the Downing Street Memo before Congress to start a possible impeachment investigation? Well yeah he did, until he realized he was standing on very very thin ice.
And to think there are millions of Hollywood Elites, Europeans, Chinese, and Muslims who desperately wanted (and STILL want) him to be President...
Kerry has more faces than a clock factory!
"The bottom line here is simple. During the elections he "pretended" to be moderate. He tried to manage his perception. Reality is he's a far left whacko."
And Hillary's now doing the VERY SAME THING. And it'll work out just as badly for her.
Nah - he's the Christmas Cambodia dude.
I was with some VERY liberal "friends" watching the Dem Convention .When Kerry came out with the reporting for duty routine even the leftist libs I was with turned red ( no pun intended),one put his head in his hands and moaned and one young lady lamented a loud "oh nooooooo" I almost fell on the floor laughing. And people wonder why he lost ?
Your post #3 just illustrates that bloggers and chatters and activists do far better reporting than do reporters.
I had the same experiences . He came off like a total jerk off and a obvioud phoney ..I mean REAL obvious.
Next time it's Hillory and she is seriously a danger for us.Millions follow her blindly..The Clinton name is God to them .
