Reply #24: Kerry is not a liberal [View All]

[Alinsky]

The Republicans call Kerry a liberal Democrat. He is not now nor was he as and elected official in Congress.

He has a poor voting record in Congress see counterpunch article:

It's deplorable. Three-hundred-seventeen bills introduced. Seven passed. And four of those were ceremonial ones -- designating special days. Voted for the horrific Telecommunications Act (in fact, led the charge); voted for the illegal war/occupation; voted for the Patriot Act (in fact, helped draft parts of it when it was first drafted under Clinton); brags about voting for class war on poor moms and kids--Clinton's welfare "reform" -- need I go on?
