NCLB is a liberal's bill, so why do people hate Kerry for it? [View All]

You know, I wouldn't have a problem with this if people said, "NCLB is a bad bill by Ted Kennedy. John Kerry shouldn't have voted for it, even if it's a liberal's bill". Instead, they make some inaccurate statement like, "Kerry votes for every one of the Republican's bills, like Patriot Act, IWR, and NCLB".

NCLB is one of Ted Kennedy's most cherished bills, and he worked all his life to get it passed, only to get it trampled upon by the cheapskate Republicans who are more than happy to waste their money somewhere else. Why do people treat Kerry like a Bush-panderer when it would be way more accurate to say that he is a Kennedy-panderer?
