You do realize that Zell Miller and Dick Cheney are just liars telling lies about Kerry’s voting record when it comes to defense spending right?

The point of my piece was that the republicans were giving Kerry a beating. And both sides obfuscate and delude. It doesn’t matter to me if Zell Miller was lying or not.

So what it comes down to is Kerry voted against a single bill that had all those weapons systems listed. Just because they weren't in separate bills, somehow that makes Zell Miller a liar. It seems to me Mr. Kaplan is stretching credibility a bit here. I don't remember the republicans saying there were separate bills involved. Kerry voted against them. Whether they were lumped together or itemized separately doesn't matter. And I read that Slate piece.

And before you go off and start saying that Bush senior wanted to shut down the B2 program, let me just say that that doesn't matter to me because Bush senior is not running for president.

I guess I get to call Dick Cheney a flip-flopper as well then. My point is that both sides lie, obfuscate, and otherwise play dirty double-dealing politics as usual. Doesn't matter if it's a Democrat or a Republican candidate. If you want to call that a "drubbing" I think you're being premature with your judgement. Give Kerry a chance to respond. So far he's slacking IMO. I suppose you think John Kerry voted to shutdown the military as well then? ;)

So far I haven't seen his side offer up a response that can't be reduced down to, "You're mean! I don't like you. Therefore, I must make you shut up!" rather than something more coherent and rational, such as, "You're wrong and here's my points as to why you're wrong."
