Does Kerry have a different opinion on defense spending than most of the GOP - ahhh Yes, he's a Democrat. Has he voted for reduction of defense and intelligence spending over the years - Yes. Has he voted for increases in defense and intelligence spending - Yes. Has he made some very astute and perceptive votes in regards to needed defense cuts - Yes. Has he made some errors - Yes. Is he weak on national defense because Bush and the GOP continually say he is - No. Is he, in fact, weak on defense - No.
There are going to be votes that Kerry has made during his many years in public office that I do not agree with, but there are a vast majority with which I do agree. In regards to defense spending, when you look at his overall record, I agree with the majority and do not believe it actually paints a picture of someone who is weak on national security.
