Re:better for whom (Score 1)

So after reading the Snopes piece, I'm confused how they came up with a False for this piece. They go to great lengths to say that it's true, but it's not a big deal. I don't care if it's a big deal or not, if it's true mark true. Don't mark it false because of your political beliefs.

Or am I reading it wrong? Here's a blurb :

The three votes cited -- regarding S. 3189 (1990), H.R. 5803 (1990), and H.R. 2126 (1995) -- were bills covering fiscal year Department of Defense appropriations, all of which Senator Kerry voted against. (Two of those three votes were not technically on defense appropriations per se, but on House-Senate conference committee reports for defense appropriations bills.)

So I don't know if these bills covered those techs or not.

Then the Snopes article goes on to attack Republicans :

The inclusion of some of the items listed here is all the more ridiculous given that they were weapons systems that a previous Republican administration advocated eliminating.

Methinks someone at Snopes is perhaps a bit biased.
