John Kerry Fails the National Security Test The Center for Security Policy has release their sixth edition of the National Security Scorecard for national security votes in the 108th Congress. The scorecard "is designed to illuminate the voting records of members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives on important defense and foreign policy issues. The Scorecard considers 12 House and 18 Senate votes."

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/index.jsp?section=papers&code=04-P_09
High scorers in the Senate (with ratings above 90%) were all Republicans. In the House, there were 22 who achieved a perfect score. All of them Republicans.

But that's not the most interesting of the findings:


Interestingly, in the wake of last night's debate on national security and foreign policy matters, among the lowest scorers were Senator and presidential candidate John Kerry (D-MA) (making incorrect votes on every one of the 4 votes he actually cast) and his running-mate Senator John Edwards (D-NC) (who did not vote on five out of the 18 scored).

Just goes to show you, John Kerry and John Edwards talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.
