they are both right on taxes.... but kerry's record is to increase taxes... can you think of 604 tax decreases in the last 20 years? thats rediculus so what they are including is minor things.. that are probably attached to other bills....
and this was no small add on to the huge bill.. he voted against the 87 billion... the total cost of the war so far has been 120 billion.. thats a good percent...
about the lobbeying to lower compat pay.. ive heard that both ways that they did more for the vets then anyone.... but i dont know all the facts on that to help you...

the bill cheney is talking about that would give flak jackets and supplies to the troops is no the 87 billion dollar bill it was a different bill completly seperate from that one. I'll see if I can find it.
as for the tax increases and decreases I agree most of them are on small bills add on. But you could say the same for the tax increases I would like see how many of those bills where he supposedly voted to raise taxes were actual tax bills and not tax stuff as small add ons.
the pay thing was all over the news and mostly effected the called up national guards people. They wanted to decrease the amount of danger pay the national guard soldiers got because they were not full time enlisted personel.
