What has Kerry Done?

UPDATE: I picked this up via Old Fashioned Patriot.

The Vichy Democrats are screaming at me that I have to support the party’s candidate no matter what because otherwise we’ll get Bush again. Why is no one talking about the Republicrat Congress which had been passing the laws that we find so onerous? Why do I have to accept another Washington insider who is responsible for the mess we are in as the solution?

Quintessential Vichy Democrat Dick Gephardt is set to endorse the Lurch of the inbred Washington Addams Family, John Kerry before blue collar Democrats in Detroit. Just what is it that makes John Kerry so presidential? His wife? His accomplishments as a Senator? What has he done? From what I gather, Kerry

• Voted for the War in Iraq
• Voted for the “No Child Left Behind” Act which left no provision for financing education
• Voted for the Patriot Act
  
• Voted to force states to contract with religious institutions
  
• Voted for Internet Censorship
  
• Voted for less privacy of Medical Records
  
• Voted for a National ID Card
  
• Voted to give the FBI more wiretapping authority
  
• Voted for Overbroad Anti-Terrorism Legislation
  
• Voted to for Orrin Hatch’s draconian Juvenile Justice Bill

He gutlessly ducked out on these key civil rights votes:

• Ban on Raves
  
• Reporting on Guantamano Bay
  
• Increased Government Surveillance

I am supposed to think that this man stands for reform just because he is a Democrat?

Kerry is not acceptable. I follow the lead of my earlier endorsement, Carole Moseley Braun, and endorse Howard Dean.
