Why didn't they vote yes for condemning all attacks on those who served?
"Obama, Clinton and Dodd voted for an alternative resolution offered minutes earlier by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. That resolution condemned political attack ads, including those that questioned the patriotism of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and former Sen. Max Cleland, D-Ga., both Vietnam veterans. It failed 50-47."

You're surprised? This is same party that loves to use the military as a backdrop and cry crocodile tears ( ala John Boehner) about how much they love the troops yet they refused to give them more rest between deployments to decompress and shake of all the horrors they see in Iraq on a daily basis. So their not supporting this is no suprise to me all.

Only a stubborn fool doesn't see the hypocrisy of their actions and the damage it's doing to our country.

The issue about the ads you are referring to, have nothing to do with what is going on. Big difference here. John Karry was attack by a group that served with him and proved that he is a fake. MoveOn.org is attacking a present General who was doing the job that Congress demanded he would do. You don't see the difference............?

Guess your to high to be able to tell the difference.....
Kerry was and IS a Traitor....he and Hanoi Jane can go and stay in Viet Nam as far as most vets of that era are concerned.....but your probably an uninformed youngster that wasn't around in those days....Uninformed from a Liberal education

They voted to condemn attack adds that undermine our military. They voted against condemning attack adds that undermine our government officials such as John Kerry. There is a big difference.

Shouldn't have been voted on at all. Freedom of speech.

Kerry deserves it and the military does not. Simple as that.

Because republicans aren't about fairness. They're all about themselves and "the ends justify the means", and "you first after me".
And I agree with above - the whole thing was pointless in the first place.
