You have no evidence except the rantings of right-wing radio to back any
of this up.

Try to maintain some balance. Kerry was the only one of these two who
saw combat in the military. Kerry was against pork-barrel defense
spending before 9/11, like everybody else (including Cheney, the
secretary of defense under GHW Bush). At the time, the important problem
to solve was bringing down the horrible, crippling deficit that
Reagan/Bush's 'voodoo economic' policies had built up (and which they
are again building up).

The republicans want it both ways. They want to compare Kerry's pre-9/11
voting record to Bush's post-9/11 stance. They also point out,
correctly, that 9/11 changed everything. Well, they can't have it both
ways and still maintain the appearance of intellectual honesty.
