I realize that each bill is not about only a single issue, and that ancillary issues can result in a "No" vote even though there are portions of a bill that a congressman favors. But that was an impressive list of negative votes that Miller rattled off. Now I just need to know if Miller was telling the truth.

Yeah, it's hard to defend a record because the bill funding the Blurperwhacker XX-21 might also fund killing baby seals.
BUT . . .
I saw posted this morning (I'll try to find it again) Kerry's fundraising memo from way back, listing a whole bunch of weapons programs (Miller's list, BTW), setting out that Kerry thought they were all unnecessary and wasteful because we don't need such a huge defense anymore, and promising to work to cancel them all.
So, no, he doesn't have that particular defense here. Miller was accurate.
