There's no question who bin-Laden would vote for. Kerry has a long
record of being weak on defense, from the Cold War to the war on
terror.

In 1991 Kerry voted to cut defense spending by $3 billion dollars, in
1992 he voted to cut defense by $6 billion. In 1993 he voted against
a military pay raise. Later in 1993 Kerry introduced a plan to cut
the size of the Army, Air Force and the Navy, and force the retirement
of 60,000 members of the armed forces in one year. His plan couldn't
get even one Democratic sponsor!

In 1995 Kerry voted to cut defense by 34 billion, and in 1996 he
introduced a bill to cut defense by $6.5 billion. Again, Kerry's bill
couldn't even get one Democratic co-sponsor and never came to a vote.

Kerry has opposed nearly every successful military system, the
Tomahawk Cruise Missile, the F-16 Fighting Falcon Jet, the B-1B
Bomber, the B2-A Bomber, F-15 Fighter, M1-A Abrams Tank, the Patriot
Missile System, the AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter, and the Aegis Air
Defense System among others. All are considered critical in our war
on terror.

Kerry did vote for $87 billion to support our troops in Afghanistan
and Iraq, but unfortunately that was before he voted against it.

Kerry has said, "The final victory in the war on terror depends on a
victory in the war of ideas, much more than the war on the
battlefield". (The New York Times, "In His Words: John Kerry", March
6, 2004).

Kerry also said the war on terror " is overblown," and the focus
should be on "law enforcement". (NBC's Meet The Press with Tim
Russert, June 23, 2002).

What more could bin-Laden, al-Sadr, Hamas, the Palestinians,
abu-Nidal, and Hezbollah want? Kerry has the agenda that pleases
them. These must be the "foreign leaders" that Kerry claimed
"supported him" for President. Is it any wonder why? American's
will be remembering that in November at the ballot box. I know I sure
will.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace.
We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand
that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may
posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
~ Samuel Adams
