The Unkindest Cut of All
This is what they say in a defense of Kerry against Zell Miller’s attack, via Andrew Sullivan and the WaPo:
Though Miller recited a long list of weapons systems, Kerry did not vote against these specific weapons on the floor of the Senate during this period. Instead, he voted against an omnibus defense spending bill that would have funded all these programs; it is this vote that forms the crux of the GOP case that he “opposed” these programs.
Oh, I get it now. He really, truly liked all the systems. He just opposed spending the money for them. That’s a swell defense.
