I don't have any respect for Kerry or Dean. Like Clark said, Kerry will not take responsibility for his actions.
I despise Kerry's brand of Liberalism and will have no part of it.
This is what Kerry's liberalism is all about:
Senate Vote on Welfare Reform H.R. 3734
Welfare reform - The Senate approved legislation that preyed on the limited rights of vulnerable groups including children, immigrants, the poor and the elderly in the name of welfare reform. The bill also eroded free speech for not-for-profit organizations, violated the separation of church and state, and damaged privacy rights by establishing a de facto national identification system.
Sen John Kerry voted for this and so did Santorum & Ashcroft
----------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Vote on Government Funding of Religious Institutions S. 1956
Government Funding of Religious Institutions - Included in the welfare overhaul was a provision that could force state governments, under threat of lawsuits, to contract with religious institutions, including houses of worship, to provide taxpayer-funded social services, even if they are delivered in a proselytizing environment. This, too, was a recurring theme in the 104th Congress where
opponents of religious liberty repeatedly sought to pass provisions to lower the wall of separation between church and state
Kerry voted for this and so did Santorum & Ashcroft
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How the Senate voted on Internet Censorship S.652
Internet Censorship - As part of a major overhaul of the nation's telecommunications industries, both the House and Senate approved major new censorship schemes for the Internet. The Senate adopted its version, the so-called Communications Decency Act, Kerry voted for this. Even Lieberman against this
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Vote on Campaign Finance Reform S. 1219
Campaign Finance Reform - In a sign of widespread disillusion with the political process, both the House and Senate considered versions of campaign finance reform that the ACLU believed to be
unconstitutional infringements of free speech provisions of the First Amendment.
Kerry voted for this and voted against the First amendment... Even Ashcroft and Santorum voted for the First Amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Vote on Medical Privacy H.R 3103
Medical privacy - Hidden within the massive health care reform bill approved by Congress in the stampede for an August recess was a deceptively labeled provision that further eroded the privacy rights of all Americans. The provision, known as "administrative simplification," gives government and businesses access to confidential medical information about individuals without their consent and establishes a unique health identification number for every patient, health provider, health plan and employer
Kerry, Ashcroft, Santorum and many others voted against Medical Privacy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Vote on Immigration Legislation H.R. 2202
Immigration - Seeking to capitalize on a wave of anti-immigration initiatives, both the House and Senate passed bills that represented the most draconian and divisive immigration proposals in decades. Included were provisions that would strip the courts of jurisdiction over illegal and abusive INS actions and erect enormous and virtually insurmountable barriers for most people seeking political asylum.
Kerry, Ashcroft, Santorum and many others voted for this
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Vote on National ID Cards S. 1664
National ID Card - One of the most pervasive themes of the 104th Congress has been proposals to establish a national identification system as a means of tracking undocumented workers, so-called deadbeat dads and to monitor health insurance information. Various database schemes have been included in bills as diverse as immigration, welfare reform and health insurance. Since these proposals have been buried in much larger legislation, it was often difficult to determine the position of members of Congress
Kerry voted FOR this... Even Lieberman, Ashcroft, Lott and Santorum were against this
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Vote on Wiretapping
Wiretapping - Although the interception of innocent conversations in federal law enforcement wiretaps is already at record levels, Congress has been repeatedly asked to give the FBI even greater authority to wiretap. Proposals have ranged from providing $500 million to the nation's phone companies to finance a retrofit of their systems to make it easier for the FBI to wiretap to permitting law enforcement agencies to use more "roving" wiretaps (without specifying which phone is to be tapped), and more "emergency" wiretaps (without obtaining a prior court order).
Kerry voted FOR Wiretapping along with his buddy Santorum
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How the Senate Voted on Counter-Terrorism S. 735
Counter-terrorism - The bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building lifted from obscurity a Clinton Administration proposal to increase the powers of law enforcement in the name of fighting terrorism. The measure gave the government the power to use secret evidence to deport immigrants it accuses of being "terrorists" and to exclude aliens merely because they are members of a disfavored foreign group.
Kerry voted FOR this with Ashcroft and Santorum...
