I would also add that while researching the other day, I came accross the GOP website showing Kerry's votes on those weapons systems. I noticed the votes were grouped together on the the same few days. He was voting on larger appropriations bills in which those were included. And then with a little more research I learned that others were also calling for cuts in those weapons programs: President George F. Bush and Secratary of Defense Dick Cheney. Always good to fact check in the midst of a ferrocious political(propaganda) campaign. I don't take anything I hear at face value, in fact most of the time, whatever is repeated over and over in campaigns like this I find that more likely the opposite is true.
