He didn't tell the truth because he *DID NOT* vote for the bill. You
obviously missed this sentence:

"There is only one problem: Kerry voted against it (Helms-Burton
legislation)"

Kerry's people tried to spin it by saying he "supported the legislation
in
its purer form--and voted for it months earlier"...but when the actual
legislation came to the Senate floor, Kerry voted against it.

You are spinning. Kerry voted for the original Senate Helms-Burton Act.
He voted against the final version after Title III was tacked on.

The "final version" is all that matters. Today, we have no legislation
known as the "Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Version I". There is
just just one "Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity"...and Kerry voted
against it. To say otherwise is pure spin.


Apparently, GWB doesn't care for Title III either, as he has suspended
enforcement of it.

Title III deals with enforcement of the Act. Without Title III, the
legislation has no teeth. It matters not that Clinton and GWB haven't
enforced Title III. The fact of the matter is Kerry said he voted for the
Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity ...and he didn't. Ergo, he lied.

Title III deals with Protection of Property Rights of US Nationals
(property confiscated by Castro 40 years ago).

"Title III of the Helms-Burton Act permits U.S. citizens to file suit
against companies and individuals trafficking in property expropriated by
the Cuban government."


It's the meat and potatoes of the Helms-Burton Act. Without Title III, the
Act has no "teeth".
