A true chickenhawk is a guy who votes to send our soldiers into battle and then votes against the funding neccesary to keep them paid and protected on the battlefield because it's politically inconvenient for him at the time....

Yes, but had he went ahead and voted for something he didn't feel right voting about he would be a sell out.

That's right, he didnt feel right about voting for the troops...

My understanding of his excuse is that he voted against the 87 billion funding because some Bush tax cuts were not repealed as he wanted them to be.

So plainly he preferes his high taxation liberal dogma more than he values the lives and wellbeing of our soldiers - the same soldiers he is responsible for sending into battle by an earlier vote...

Thats what's more important to him, pleasing left wing domestic constituancies rather than protecting the very same soldiers he helped send to war! It's clear, he mad the choice.

Chickenhawk... Thats what Kerry is...  Happy to send men into battle but unwilling to support them when there..

But you are right, he is very consistent to his values here. If it were up to him he would have sent those troops into Iraq without M1 Ambrams, Bradley, AH64, F15, and the host of other weapon's systems he he has consistently voted against funding in his 4 terms in the Senate...

Yep thats Kerry for ya, the true Chickenhawk!

So if the pres brings you some spending on the military you agree with, but then turns around and appropriates more of the money for haliburton, blackwater, and others who are going to inflate prices on us, you agree with it? Now wonder we are getting deeper in debt.

Chickenhawk, as opposed to Vulturedove.

Of course, defined as: One who promotes violence and civil unrest in order to achieve peaceful aims at the moment when the opposition is in its most vulnerable position.

(Kinda like the big inmate in the movies who listens for the 'thud' of soap against the hard, cold, wet tile floor.)

Yaknow, if I were to find myself in another foxhole fighting for my life there's only one of these two who I'd rather have in that hole with me. One has experienced the heat of battle and he showed his metel, the other I wouldn't expect anything but for him to have some realy smelly underware if he were to survive.

As far as your assertion that Mr. Kerry doesn't support the troops, you're full of bovine fecal matter. He voted against the pork that was put into the bill you cited and furthermore, his record of cutting the waste in the miltary was during the post cold war era and is parallel to the current VP's suggested cuts in so many of the same programs plus a few more at the same time.

For the Right to call out Mr. Kerry on these issues shows, to me, that their hypocrisy has no bounds and that if they believe their own rhetoric then the only conclusion one can come to is that Mr. Cheny doesn't support the troops either.

Just wondering...

As he had no military experience, was born to wealth and led a nation into battle, was FDR a chickenhawk?

He seems to fit the NH Gazette's definition.
