Kerry's Legislative Accomplishments

[GWB]

The DNC posted a list of bills Kerry introduced and were enacted into law. He sponsored to enactment a total of 11 bills in his 20 years and I must say, it is a list of Great achievement:

Of those 11 bills, 4 designated special days or weeks with titles... 1 expressed solidarity with a family... 1 renamed a building... and 1 awarded Jackie Robinson a congressional Gold Medal... 2 appropriated funds for existing programs, 1 amended an existing act, and 1 reauthorized an existing program. *

Wow! What an accomplishment for 20 years in the US Senate. I'm impressed.

It is amazing that the DNC has Kerry's record linked to their front page, it doesn't make him look good at all.

[Daliman]

Did you actually read the DNC list of Kerry's accomplishments? They really do amount to nothing. Go Here and Click on "Click Here" for a PDF file.

Kerry's record really is that bad.

[cornell2005]

yea, he sat on his butt for the past 20 whatever years and accomplished 4 small things. there are different types of senators with different jobs. sponsoring bills is not what kerry did in the senate. but you knew that so why am i bringing it up

One thing he did while in the Senate is chat up the Senate wives until he found one he liked, whom he married when her husband died. Ya got to have your priorities straight. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

and yet, bringing up a president's daughter is too low.

My question is given this abysmal record of sponsoring legislation, how can we expect Kerry to work with a Congress that is likely to have a Republican majority in the House and probably in the Senate too. However, IMO this is the perfect prescription for grid lock and that may not be a bad thing at all. Kerry will veto any bill he doesn't like that the Republicans pass and Kerry won't get to first base in a Republican controlled congress with his initiatives. The Republicans are almost certain IMO to strongly oppose any nominee for the Supreme court that Kerry would propose that they don't like. The Democrats could hardly cry foul after the tactics they've used in the past 4 years.
