"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites), angry he was denied a chance to cast a Senate vote on veterans' benefits, lashed out at Republicans on Wednesday and condemned President Bush (news - web sites) as the most divisive president in modern history.

'These people are so petty, so sad, so political, all they could do was spend the whole day finding a way not to let John Kerry vote,' the Massachusetts senator told the annual convention of the Service Employees International Union. "
