Narrator: Because you were too drunk to pay attention in your government class in high school, you may not know that Senators sometimes vote for bills that they don't agree with 100% and sometimes vote against bills even if they don't like one little part. When they vote against a bill, they are hoping that it doesn't pass so that the problems will have to be fixed.
Saying that Kerry voted against body armour for troops is one of the biggest distortions in Karl Rove's career of big distortions. Kerry voted for an $87 billion bill that was payed for by eliminating the tax cut for the very wealthy. He voted against the bill when that part was removed. He hoped that the bill would be re-written to pay for the war. Body armour was in both bills, and was never going to be removed from the bill. The question really is, why did George Bush send our troops to Iraq without body armour in the first place?
