My friend (for whom I have a great deal of respect for) sent me an e-mail that contained this information in it. I am NOT a Kerry basher - I am trying to make up my mind on the person I THINK would do a better job for my family. I do not vote 100% according to party affiliation --- so I need some input on this.

I decided to post here because I know that politics are a very hot topic here, and are discussed freely with no hard feelings. Thanks.

_____________________________________________________

John Kerry on Defense -- I hadn't seen this list
printed before.
It would make one heck of a mailer if it were sent to voters.
(So... send it to as many voters as you can!)

He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
He voted to kill every aircraft carrier laid down since 1988
He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
He voted to Kill the F-15 Strike Eagle
He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
He voted to Kill the B-1
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the Patriot Anti Missile System
He voted to Kill the FA-18
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the F117

In short, he voted to kill every military
appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to include the battle armor for our troops. With Kerry as president our Army will be made up of naked men running around with sticks and clubs.

He also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of the U.S. Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.

But then he voted to increase OUR funding for UN
operations by 800%!!!




Truth or not?!?!?!

Sincerity and the desire to learn anything obviously has no place here.


Sorry if you took my post as a joke.

It's true.

He's voted down every appropriation that has money either going to the military or to support their efforts.

You most certainly need to put some W ketchup on that to swallow it.

Cigar_fiend, my interpretation is that this is an email topic forwarded from/to many people. . . . I don't think JonR is making fun of your post, rather, I think he just posted a copy of the same email you recieved. . . . most likely, he never saw your post, and this is just a coincidence. . . .
