tunaplanet 0 #1 October 19, 2004 These are the 5 bills Kerry authored that passed the Senate, the House, were signed by the president, and became law. S.791: Authorizes $53 million over four years to provide grants to woman-owned small businesses. (1999) S.1206: Names a federal building in Waltham, Massachusetts after Frederick C. Murphy, who was killed in action during World War II and awarded (posthumously) the Medal of Honor. (1994) S.1636: A save-the-dolphins measure aiming “to improve the program to reduce the incidental taking of marine mammals during the course of commercial fishing operations.” (1994) S.1563: Funding the National Sea Grant College Program, which supports university-based research, public education, and other projects “to promote better understanding, conservation and use of America’s coastal resources.” (1991) S.423: Granting a visa and admission to the U.S. as a permanent resident to Kil Joon Yu Callahan. (1987) Here are 2 bills that Kerry authored and passed the Senate and later became law in a slightly different form approved by the House, under the same titles and mostly same substance. H.R.1900 (S.300): Awarded a congressional gold medal to Jackie Robinson (posthumously), and called for a national day of recognition. (2003) H.R.1860 (S.856): Increased the maximum research grants for small businesses from $500,000 to $750,000 under the Small Business Technology Transfer Program. (2001) Here are 4 "joint resolutions" that are not technically "bills" but which have the same force when passed by both houses and are signed into law by the president. S.J.Res.158: To make the week of Oct. 22 – Oct. 28, 1989 “World Population Awareness Week.” (1989) S.J.Res.160: To renew “World Population Awareness Week” for 1991. (1991) S.J.Res.318: To make Nov. 13, 1992 “Vietnam Veterans Memorial 10th Anniversary Day.” (1992) S.J.Res.337: To make Sept. 18, 1992 “National POW/MIA Recognition Day." (1992) So one might ask what has Kerry accomplished in over 20 years as a Senator? Lots of holidays and more expensive tuna. Oh...and he named a building.

tunaplanet 0 #3 October 19, 2004 Quoteemail glurge Actually all of the facts I listed were acquired from factcheck.org. Some people actually do their own homework and not rely on garbage emails. Nice try, though. So, DrunkMonkey, what are you doing for World Population Awareness Week? Thank God Kerry fought to make this a holiday. Are you ready for it? It's next week. I'm going out tomorrow and buying a tree for it and everything. Hope the malls aren't packed when I go to get presents for World Population Week. I hate when that happens. Damn crowds.

Jimbo 0 #4 October 20, 2004 QuoteOk - so he voted on some stuff. Thats what they do in the Senate. Did he introduce those things or have them placed on the agenda? If he didn't then he voted right along with the rest of the Senate and House members. What is the big deal about that?

LoudDan 0 #11 October 20, 2004 Apparently that debt can be quelled by cutting funds to the military, and education. It worked well for Clinton. And you're right Kerry hasn't run any companies into the ground. He'd have to get the wife's permission. Just out of curiosity, how does the national debt affect you personally. Did you notice a change when it was balanced? Other than the news saying "there is a surplus". What are the benefits of a balanced vs. an unbalanced budget.

The question is: Would you hire someone who you knew was absent from work 90% of the time at his previous job? Then why would you vote for Kerry?

Wouldn't the above make him a dignified successor to the actual occupant of the white house? I thought that was an essential part of the current job description. Maybe someone should tell him...

peacefuljeffrey 0 #19 October 20, 2004 Oh, he's accomplished more than that in the senate, folks! - He canceled presidential campain appearances to return to DC to help defeat S.1805, legislation that would have protected the legal gun industry from predatory lawsuits based on specious legal claims and intended to bankrupt the firearms industry - He voted for Ted Kennedy's outrageous amendment that would have banned virtually all centerfire hunting ammunition (but Kerry's a "hunter," right?!) - He received a solid "F" rating from the NRA for his attacks on gun rights, and a solid "A" rating from Handgun Control Inc., which seeks to ban handguns outright - He's a prime co-sponsor of S.1431 which would give any future Attorney General the power to ban any firearm based on any design used by the military. That means any shotgun, any rifle or any handgun ever purchased by the U.S. military or a federal law enforcement agency could be banned by one unelected official with the stroke of a pen. He's accomplished stuff, sure. It's just that most of the stuff he's accomplished is either stupid and meaningless, or harmful to our rights. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tkhayes 348 #21 October 20, 2004 What George Bush did in 4 years as President 1. Caused the largest deficit in US hostory 2. Lied to the world about WMD's and invaded a country anyway 3. Thus caused the deaths of 1000+ US soldiers (what are their names? - we do not hear that anymore) 4. Caused the deaths of 12000-15000 Iraq civilians (innocents) 5. Managed to keep his 50% of the vote by using terrorist scare tactics to suade the US people into thinking we are in constant danger. 6. Supports big oil and big business over ALL other considerations of the American people, of which he is sworn to protect and serve. But only if it makes more money for those in power. Admit any mistakes? No, not a chance Such arrogance needs to be dealt with by running his ass out of office. what a jerk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
