Kerry is a flat-out liar. And that accusation can be supported by
his
voting history. For instance, he says he's a champion for small
business.
Yet, the National Federation for Independent Business shows him to
be
one
of
the nations worst "guardians" of small business. In the 106th
Congress,
he
voted against legislation supported by the NFIB almost 84% of the
time.
In
the 107th Congress, he voted against NFIB-supported legislation 75%
of
the
time. This is despite his website claim that "As Chairman of the
U.S.
Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, I have
fought
to
provide small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country
greater
access to capital, increased access to business counseling and
training,
better access to government contracts, tax relief from capital gains
and
estate taxes, and relief from federal regulations."
Bull****!

Ref my post above, wherein I pointed out..."If you compare the voting
records of our two Senators on significant legislation over the past
15
years or so, you find (ironically, to some)
that John Kerry is to the left of Ted Kennedy."

As hard as it might be to believe that there's a senator with a more
anti-small business agenda than Kerry, Kennedy is even worse. He voted
against NFIB-supported legislation 92% of the time in the 106th
Congress,
and 75% of the time in the 107th.

Any idea why he voted against such legislation? Or are you just quoting
stuff you found on the web, without knowing the background?

I get an NFIB newsletter that discusses the Congressional issues that affect
small businesses. In that newsletter is a synopsis about each issue, and a
member survey that asks you to vote your opinion on each issue. The results
from all of the small business surveys that are returned are tabulated, and
NFIB lobbies Congress for legislation that would most help small business.
The NFIB then posts a follow-up newsletter that reports how each member of
Congress voted on each issue. Kerry and Kennedy voted *AGAINST* the NFIB
positions more than 3/4's of the time...placing them near the top of the
list of anti-small business members of Congress.
