QuoteI would vote no, too. I think people who burn the flag are despicable, and I think people who wear shirts that say things like "fuck Bush" (or Kerry) are rude. People who call returning soldiers names are lowlifes too. But all those activities are protected by our constitution; the right to say what we want in public is one of the most strongly protected freedoms we have. I would not vote to weaken it.
I gotta find out if hell just froze over or if I have a fever. I just agreed with Bill twice within 5 minutes. I'm going to the Emergency Room.

Hell didn't freeze over. It's not hard to side with common sense with crap posts like the last two 'not surprised' posts. Really... you should spend some time watching sausage being made before trawling up crap like this. It's not so cut and dried as it seems to you. One cannot simply look to votes up or down on amendments to determine someone's overall position. There are so many nuances to legislative politicking that one really has to be in the thick of it to have any REAL idea of the 'why' behind the votes. Try to look at the big picture. Are you _REALLY_ safer now than you were 4 years ago? Do you honestly believe that? What are you gonna do with N. Korea? No summit? Abandon diplomacy just 'cause you think talks will break down? Has Bush sealed the borders yet? Didn't think so. This is a huge joke.

How about him being to busy to vote to help the unemployed?
Are you really complaining about him not voting to spend additional deficit money on a welfare program?

Kerry was not fighting for his country, but rather fighting to save his own ass.
To know John Kerry is to ask the men whom served with him.
-John Edwards
Read what his peers said about him and his 15 weeks in "combat."
As far as I'm concerned the only alliance he made with foreign countries are North Viet Nam and the Soviet Union.

Almost without exception the men who served in his boat have nothing but good things to say about him. Ask Jim Rassmann, the guy he rescued from the river in 1969. Even the SBVFT crowd had nothing but good things to say about him until they came into a lot of money from the biggest GOP contributor in Texas.

I am pointing out how he claims to care about the unemployed, but not enough to stop by his job and vote on it.

Senator John Forbes Kerry voted NO.
Vote to propose a constitutional amendment prohibiting the physical desecration of the U.S. flag.
Why do so many Republicans have as little respect for the 1st Amendment as the Democrats and the ACLU do for the 2nd?
Get serious, Ron. If Founders' intent matters to you, you can have no part of such legislation.

QuoteYou can be present but can choose to abstain from any vote that you want to. Its the beauty of the system. It can't be taken as a yes or a no that way.
Sounds like a cowards way out to me.
Responding to Ron: While I find the burning of the American flag in protest to be absolutely disgusting, I do, whole heartedly, support their right to burn it.

I think a more important question would be, why does the US either vote with Israel or abstain from voting at the UN, where Israel is concerned.
Yes, this is a hijack!
BOO!
