Kerry couldn't be bothered
On Wednesday, the Senate, on a 99-0 vote, approved "Project BioShield" legislation to pay for research and the production and stockpiling of vaccines and antidotes for bioterror agents (" 'BioShield' gets Senate OK," Nation, Thursday). Of the 100 senators, only one apparently felt this anti-terror homeland-security legislation was not important. Of the 100 senators, only one did not bother to vote.
That is the senator who seeks to be the next president of the United States, John Kerry.
His absence on such a vital national security issue is disturbing and speaks volumes about his priority of keeping the United States safe from terrorism. When the real work of government needed to be done, fulfilling his duties in fighting terrorism from the Senate, Mr. Kerry was missing in action.
Can the United States afford to elect as president a man who cannot even take the issue of terrorism seriously as a senator?
