[vacets-gen] Bush's View on theSouthVietnamese

[Luc T. Nguyen]

Hi anh Ti'n,

I looked it up on more recent vote records and found that
for the year 2003, Kerry skipped most of the votes.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_m
enu_108_1.htm
I don't have time to compile a full statistics on his voting
record for last year, but my informal random check of 12
bills, I only found one that he voted. May be because he is
out there campaigning. He was OK as a senator earlier on in
his career but seems to slack off in more recent years.

His lifetime voting records, shown on his own biography
http://www.lcv.org/Files/OpenFile.cfm?id=1960 is only for
issues involving the Environment.
What was discussed at
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=405487 is
only for his earlier years at the senate.

By the way, I do not think that Kerry is truthfull either.
When he changes his opinions to the opposite direction then
at least one of his position is a lie. Or may be both
positions are lies or may be he has no opinion at all and he
just say what his advisors told him to say.

I did not say that Bush is better, I think that both are
equally bad. It just that what kind of poison each one of us
is willing to take.

Hello anh Luc,

I was intending for people to do their own legwork :-).  One
learn more
that way... but it sounded like you did.  Thanks.

Here are some more web sites that has done the work of
research on Kerry's
voting records.

http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=S042110

Vote-smart site seem to show that Kerry did vote in '88.

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=405487

It shows that over his career in the Senate, his voting
record is in the
92+ %, pretty good.  There were some discussion about
getting earlier
records for 85-88, seem that is not online at the Senate Gov
web site.

1985-6:    92% x
1987-8:   100% x
1989:     100% x 312 = 312
1990:     100% x 326 = 326
1991:      93% x 280 = 260
1992:      92% x 270 = 248
1993:     100% x 395 = 395
1994:      92% x 329 = 303
1995:     100% x 613 = 613
1996:     100% x 306 = 306

The above listed the issues for vote and whether Kerry
voted.

As for Bush, he seem to be more of a devil than Kerry.  So I
am curious as
to why people still prefer a known devil [that lied to them]
to one who
has shown that he is courageous and honest in expressing his
heartfelt
beliefs.

Wouldn't it be a question of truthfulness over falsehood,
lies and
deceivers?  Which one is better?

Cheers,
Tin Le
