3. I don't know why you are being so hard on these candidates......
for voting for the "no child left behind" bill.


Since it left all children behind, in a way it didn't leave any behind. They are all together, in a glorious unfunded unity.

Since it required no funding, it didn't raise the deficit either.


It brought our children together through fiscal responsibility.

He DIDN'T vote on the two partial birth abortion bills last year .. one of which finally passed . without his vote one way or the other. Maybe health related issue bills are a conflict of interest for the Senator.

6. How did Edwards vote?
I think he did. I heard Edwards and Dean both say, they supported Bush for the attack on Iraq (but they'd be more diplomatic and bring in the world community). It was on CSPAN's National Press Club when they both decided to run for President. It has been removed from the achieves.

I went to the Vote Smart web site to see how each candidate answers about the issues.

I find Edward a supporter of vouchers which is disturbing to me.

"Allow parents to use vouchers (equal opportunity scholarships) to send their children to any religious school."

Edwards issues stand (NPAT) and voting record on link: http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=CNC68243#17 He also supports WTO. His voting record is http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=CNC68243

Clark issues stand (NPAT):
http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=MZZ72757

Kerry (NPAT): refuses to fill it out.His voting record on Vote Smart is http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=S0421103

Dean (NPAT): refuses to fill it out. Very little information about his voting record. His files are closed in Vermont. He is pro-WTO.

Kucinich (NPAT) http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=BC032003. His voting record speaks for itself http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=BC032003

On voting record and the issues Kucinich is still my best choice.
