Just because someone strikes down a bill that for a particular item does not mean they are against it.

What if they are against the way it is being implemented in the bill? What if the conditions stated in the bill are out of line? Just because a bill exists does not make it a good bill.

So - ask Senator Kerry on each and every one of his votes to explain WHY he voted yes and WHY he voted no. In fact; expect this from EVERY elected official and out government accountability goes through the roof. Just saying someone voted yes or no on something takes it out of context. The why is the context and that is what I want to know. Recently my CA Senate rep voted NO on something I was against. Before I say she's great - I want to know why so I emailed her asking " I appreciate it but I want to know why you voted no." It is certainly possible that she voted no because of something in the bill that she didn't approve of rather than the bill as a whole.

Of course a wise man once said..."the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...we don't need no water let the ...."
