Did you know?

• John “Waffles” Kerry called Moztada al-Sadr, the terrorist leader of the recent uprisings in Iraq, a “legitimate” voice.
• In 1971 John Kerry told the Senate that the U.S. murdered 200,000 people a year in Vietnam and claimed that the U.S. was the worst violator of the Geneva Convention.
• Kerry consistently voted against weapon system after weapon system. The very same systems that have protected our troops and helped us achieve vital military victories in recent years.
• Kerry has missed more than 80% of the Senate votes over the last year. Even his governor has called for his resignation.
• He is ranked the fourth worst tax-and-spender in the Senate, and he has (with his buddy Sen. Ted Kennedy) brought his home-state, Massachusetts, more than $120 million of pork-barrel spending in the last year alone.

• He considers fighting terrorism a “law enforcement matter” — not a war. (So did Clinton, and look what happened.)
• He voted for the war in Iraq, but speaks vociferously against it now — although he wants to send more troops.
• He “supported” the Defense of Marriage Act, but was one of the few who voted against it.
• He voted for the Patriot Act but now opposes it.
• He voted to remove the Marriage Penalty Tax, but now wants to reinstate it.
• Then there’s this classic from his own mouth: “I actually did vote for the $87 billion [for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq] before I voted against it”
