Senator Kerry has touted that he will return to the 'pay as you go' method of government and to dramatically reduce government spending in order to cut the deficit by half over 5 years, yet I think that it is very important that people look at his record before going to vote here is just a sample of his voting in the past 2 years:
2003-2004 On the votes that the National Tax Limitation Committee considered to be the most important in 2003-2004, Senator Kerry voted their preferred position 0 percent of the time.
2003 On the votes that the Americans for Tax Reform considered to be the most important in 2003, Senator Kerry voted their preferred position 0 percent of the time.
2003 On the votes that the American Shareholders Association considered to be the most important in 2003, Senator Kerry voted their preferred position 0 percent of the time.
2003 According to the National Taxpayers Union, in 2003 Senator Kerry, on ALL votes dealing with spending, voted to reduce or not increase spending 14 percent of the time.
2003 On the votes that the Citizens Against Government Waste considered to be the most important in 2003, Senator Kerry voted their preferred position 22 percent of the time.
How can we take his claims, keeping in mind that he expects to perform all of the promises that he has made in his campaign on just tax rollbacks in the top 2 tax brackets, and trust it given his record which he has very consistantly voted to reject cutbacks on government spending and other issues which would bring that same 'fiscal responsibility' that he somehow came up for one of his strongsuits?
