Ian, my friend, “you can run but you cannot hide from John Kerry’s record.”

The fact that you would spend 650 words to try to convince all of us that the terrorists of the world are hoping that George W. Bush is re-elected is silly. The truth is, John Kerry has spent 20 years voting against the U.S. Military. A true liberal at true form—this is not to say his intentions were not to use the monies for social programs he felt the country was better served by, this is only to say you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

John Kerry voted against the Patriot missile that defended our troops and allies from Saddam Hussein’s attacks (yes the former leader of Iraq who invaded our ally, tried to assassinate our president, and launched missiles at Israel), voted against the B-2 stealth bomber, the Apache helicopter, the M-1 Abraham tank..and the list goes on. See Charles Hurt’s article in the Washington Times .

But most telling, Kerry voted against the UN, our allies, and the majority of the US House and Senate in 1991 to defend Kuwait against a preemptive attack from Iraq. When it mattered Kerry had a choice, and he chose not to lead.

The spin has gotten out of control if this record is the one terrorist fear the most. (Garrett puts on his boots and wades through the spin).
