So your going to sit here and tell me Kerry was voting against BODY ARMOR (which made up 1/3 of one percent of the money in the bill) when he voted against an $87 billion appropriations bill??

He voted against the bill in which that was included, and failed to come up with an alternative that included the body armor, so yes.

Look, I was raised by a military family, and am in the military myself, so excuses for not getting things done has never been acceptable. If he wished to get the equipment our soldiers needed, and voted against the bill that would provide it, he should have followed up with another/better alternative. I agreed with him on a lot of that bill that was porkbarreled, and if he pushed through a possible alternative I may actually support him. But he failed to do that, so I lost my respect for him.
