Ummm.... I'd have to say it was this part:
You wanna talk career achievements? Let's talk Bush...
1) Drunk 2) Failed businessman (Arbusto Energy) 3) Got daddy to get him into the weekend warrior Air national guard where he went AWOL 4) Again, daddy got him his position as governor where he had one of the worst records in history 5) He rode to the presidency on daddy's shoulders where he couldn't even win that right. Stole election via the Supreme court, overriding the tradition of federalism and states rights.
Now that's a record to be proud of. :-)
This is offensive and a complete fabrication. And all these "Bills" Kerry wrote? Not a one! He was the co-sponsor. Everyone of these bills had dozens of them.
Freedomgod deserved it's banishment.
"• He wrote the first bill reducing acid rain."
Oddly, it only reduced acid rain when used like blotter paper, an umbrella, or when the rain was LSD.
Good luck with the massive storm bearing down on you.
We'll be busy putting a thick layer of asphalt on this one.
"He and John McCain negotiated an agreement with Vietnam to provide a full accounting for POW-MIAs."
That's not the way I heard it. Kerry destroyed all the notes from his investigation.
Didn't need to read any further.
Has your message button caught fire yet from all the flames?
Yea! No kidding! I feel like a cat toy. LOL! At least you read the original post!
HEY PEOPLE!!!! I DIDN"T POST THIS POOPIE!!! This pootie head did!!!!
I forgive you all though:) I bet I've done the same thing.
That's what I do also, but I see alot of flames directed at the #2 poster on this thread.
Stay safe, DocRock. I'll keep the shrubs handy.
I would call this guy an idiot, but that would be offensive to idiots everywhere.
Sold them out.
• He wrote the first bill reducing acid rain.
No he didn't.
• He has repeatedly led the charge in protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from drilling.
He didn't lead. He followed.
• He has passed legislation that shut down money laundering activities of terrorists and drug traffickers.
No, that was his excuse when voting for the PATRIOT ACT that he now balks about.
to ban deadly assault weapons to pass the Brady bill, the other side, [the Republicans] led the fight against it.
John Kerry is a GUN GRABBER who also voted to ban .30-30 ammunition. He's a freedom grabber, and your support of this freedom grabber shows that your screenname is too good for the likes of you.
But John Kerry helped us pass the toughest, smartest, best crime bill this country has seen in many a day, and the crime rate has gone down for four years in a row. John Kerry was on the right side of history.” [Public Papers of the President: Fall River, MA; 8/28/96]
LOL. Bullshit. Crime is a STATE, CITY, TOWNSHIP, and COUNTY level issue. The feds aren't involved in most crime issues. It's the state police and locals that are involved in most criminal activities. And if you want a real coalition in dropping crime rates, look at when states passed shall issue conceal carry laws.
Democratic Leader Tom Daschle Says Kerry Knows How to Get the Legislative Job Done in the Senate
Of course he'll say that. He's a democrat.
I am pleased he has accepted another term as Chairman of the Steering and Coordination Committee." [Daschle Press Release, 11/19/98]
Which does nothing.
Even Dr. Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader Says Kerry’s Global AIDS Legislation is a “Huge Step Forward”: “’The Kerry-Frist bill is a huge step forward,”
One minor issue he takes a lead on. Big deal.
57 bills and resolutions John Kerry has sponsored over the years have passed the U.S. Senate. Countless others have been improved because of his work, including the Clean Air Act, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the COPS program.
57 in 19 years. 3 a year, and that includes Resolitions which are pure BS anyway, so it's probably more like 25-30 in 19 years. As for the 'others improved', he wasn't a leader on them since those 8 resolutions or bills passed INCLUDED ALL AMENDMENTS.
• John Kerry has taken on the special interests and won.
WHERE?
• He fought against Newt Gingrich’s anti-labor and anti-environmental regulatory reform.
And JOHN KERRY VOTED FOR ANTI-LABOR PRO-OUTSOURING bills.
• He has fought to raise the minimum wage. • He has worked to shut down wasteful corporate subsidies.
HOW?
• And John Kerry played an important role in the effort to reach a settlement with the tobacco companies that ended marketing to children and teenagers.
Which is crap.
1) Drunk
He quit.
2) Failed businessman (Arbusto Energy)
He did well with the Texas Rangers.
3) Got daddy to get him into the weekend warrior Air national guard where he went AWOL
He didn't go AWOL, and at least he didn't call his 'brothers' murderers like your boy Kerry did.
4) Again, daddy got him his position as governor where he had one of the worst records in history
First off, daddy has only one vote. The people of Texas got him in - TWICE. Voted for him for president too.
5) He rode to the presidency on daddy's shoulders where he couldn't even win that right. Stole election via the Supreme court, overriding the tradition of federalism and states rights.
Bullshit. IF anyone tried to steal an election, it was Gore, Wexler, Deutsch and those idiots in Palm Beach and the Florida Supreme Court. That's not counting the cigs for votes schemes in Detroit and Wisconsin.
He helped
He helped. Translation. He was one vote and a follower.
Through cooperative efforts with former Sen. Bumpers of Arkansas, Kerry has fought to reduce capital gains taxes
And voted for Klinton's tax increase.
Kerry supported Sen. Joe Biden's 1994 Crime Law, which created over 1,500 new police officers.
How did it create cops?
As part of Kerry's platform on gay rights, he supports civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, including inheritance rights, health benefits and insurance, family leave, bereavement leave, pension plans, hospital visitation, and survivor benefits from Social Security.
Why the hell should I have to pay for that crap?
He supports legislation to give these rights to federal workers. Shortly after being elected to the Senate in 1985, Kerry joined in introducing an anti-discrimination bill.
A waste of MY money.
He was one of 14 senators in 1996 to speak out against and vote against the Defense of Marriage Act
So he supports gay marriage.
Kerry sponsored the original Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Care Act
A sponsorship doesn't mean jack. Many sponsor a bill they know is going to pass at the last minute.
He sponsored original versions of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Bill to ban "soft money" (unlimited donations from corporations, unions, and individuals) and sham attack ads
Anti-free speech.
He teamed with Sen. Paul Wellstone of Minnesota to present a Clean Money bill that would give candidates the option of financing their political campaigns with grant expenditures from a public campaign trust fund.
I shouldn't have to pay for his BS.
Kerry joined a bipartisan effort for meaningful election reform, by sponsoring Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell's Federal Election Reform Act of 2001
Again, sponsorship means nothing.
The senator was one of the original organizers of the first Earth Day in Massachusetts (in 1970), and chaired the National Earth Day board in 1990
Big deal.
He and Boxer passed a Senate amendment to impose a moratorium on oil drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf and the West Coast, including California's coastline. The Kerry-Boxer amendment closes a loophole that would have allowed oil companies to drill in environmentally sensitive areas and protects the fishing and tourism industries from being trumped by Big Oil
Alright! More Arab Oil!
Kerry cosponsored Lincoln Chafee's Brownfields Revitalization and Environmental Restoration Act of 2000, a bipartisan bill providing national brownfields cleanup and redevelopment in urban areas
Again, cosponsorship means nothing.
Along with Sen. Biden, Kerry sponsored a State Department bill amendment tackling global climate change by mandating the Bush Administration to engage in international environmental renegotiations and to work toward revising Kyoto
Kyoto was defeated 99-0 in the senate.
He and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) brokered a bipartisan compromise to propose increasing fuel-efficiency standards by 50%, with a goal to reach a fuel economy average of 36 miles per gallon by the year 2015.
Bad for jobs in Michigan. More outsourcing. F' that.
So Sorry! I did not know about the post #2 on a troll thread. I'm still new enough that I'm taking pains to not be considered one myself LOL!
It's grammar.
(BTW System mods - your spell checker doesn't recognize "zotted".
Well, don't take on some of the nastier elements on FR, and don't be weird like me.
That pretty much covers the bases.
(As far as nastier elements go, search FR for 'Asmodeus' and read through his hit pieces and slams against others, or JohnGalt and his repeated slams against others. That will give you an idea what to avoid.)
Yeah, being second man on deck after the first post gets removed really suxorz.
You get the responses that the troll should get, even after most realise what happened.
Bump for blotter-acid rain.
LOL!
Found a troll contesting Kerry being shown to be less than what he says he is.
(Audie Murphy 'War HERO' vs john kerry 'war zero')
