Lovely cut-and-paste recitation of the DNC fax!
Isn't Microsoft WordPad wonderful?
>> He and John McCain negotiated an agreement with Vietnam to provide a full accounting for POW-MIAs.
Which never happened. McCain and Kerry performed little more than a coverup.
>> He wrote the first bill reducing acid rain.
The Clean Air Act, the cornerstone of environmental law, was signed into law by President Nixon, over a decade before Kerry became a senator.
>> He has repeatedly led the charge in protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from drilling.
What a dunce. America's economy requires oil, and yet Kerry is in bed with foreigners, in particular with the Saudis.
>> He has passed legislation that shut down money laundering activities of terrorists and drug traffickers.
Bad example. Republicans have always been at the forefront of drug law enforcement.
>> President Clinton Praised Kerry for Putting 100,000 COPS on the Street
Far less were actually "put on the street" with this con-job. All Clinton and Kerry tried to do was federalize all law enforcement, a dangerous precedent.
>> Democratic Leader Tom Daschle Says Kerry Knows How to Get the Legislative Job Done in the Senate
Only a fool would believe anything Daschle says, so you are a fool.
Frankly, sonny, everything you wrote is spin. Get a real life.
Like Planned Parenthood, Unions, Environmentalists and trial lawyers? What did he win? a cookie? The only reason he argued for a hike in minimum wage is because of unionized workers.
He fought against Newt Gingrichs anti-labor and anti-environmental regulatory reform.
Kerry fought and lost. I think he even voted against welfare reform.
"From our teen-smoking bill to HMO reform and Campaign Finance Reform, John Kerry has demonstrated that he clearly knows how to get the job done. He is a valued and trusted member of our leadership team, and I am pleased he has accepted another term as Chairman of the Steering and Coordination Committee." [Daschle Press Release, 11/19/98]
HMOs are a Kennedy creation and CFR is a disaster. What job did Kerry get done? His only function as a senator is to vote in the senate and he can't even do that this year.
I noticed how you left out Kerry's foreign policy. I bet even the most ardent Kerry supporter can't figure that out.
Likely a retread beeber, previously banned & stuned.
It kinda looks like somebody has written all over the bathroom wall again.
"He wrote the first bill reducing acid rain. "
And now his actions are increasing stomach acid. This affects me daily and I don't appreciate it.
He's not a leader. He doesn't even run his own campaign. He has no major legislative accomplishments. He is nothing more nor less than an empty suit.
I couldn't help but notice your lack of literacy, the only exception being your obvious cut-and-pastes from Democratic handouts or websites. Come back after you've graduated elementary school and we'll talk.
Overcame an addiction through faith and personal conviction demonstrating true strength of character. Few people ever domonstrate this level of self control during their lifetime.
2) Failed businessman (Arbusto Energy)
Fellow business owners during this period of oil field bust credit Bush with keeping his business alive and the people working for him employed two years longer than conditions in the area would warrant. It is a testament to his strong business savvy.
3) Got daddy to get him into the weekend warrior Air national guard where he went AWOL
Daddy had nothing to do with it. He volunteered for two years of continuous service which moved him instantly to the top of the list. It was necessary for pilot training. He wanted to be a pilot and that was the most direct route. Released Military records and eyewitness accounts have demonstrated he fulfilled his military commitment completely. Incidentally, the F102 Delta Dagger which Bush flew was one of the most dangerous planes to fly at that time. Nearly 10% of the total planes in commission were involved in fatal crashes. Perhaps not as dangerous as an infantry position in Viet Nam, but hardly a safe cushy position.
4) Again, daddy got him his position as governor where he had one of the worst records in history
Spearheaded education reform, including significant raises in teacher salaries; major tax reform, business reform, tort reform, large budget surpluses, reelected by an overwhelming majority, all state wide offices held by Republicans in what had been a traditionally Democrat state. Damn, a lot of people would love to have a "terrible" record like that.
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.
The ballots were counted three times by the state of Florida and by six different media consortiums. Perhaps you would like to tell us which one of those counts Gore won, because I never heard of one reported in the news.
Your hatred of Bush has made you either willfully remain ignorant or willfully attempt to deceive people. Whichever the case, why should people pay any attention to anything else you say when you have demonstrated such a lack of personal integrity?
In the Senate, he authored a Children's Health Initiative for children in working families through subsidized vouchers that allow easier access to private health insurance
Kerry was an original sponsor of the Women's Health Equity Act, providing women of all ages with high-quality health care, including an emphasis on breast cancer prevention and treatment
His lack of achievements in the Senate is confirmation ... It's just all about him.
>>You wanna talk career achievements? Let's talk Bush...

Now that's a record to be proud of. :-) <<
Let's see...
#1 Bush is not as "accomplished" as your favorite MA Sentator, as he only got a DUI ticket while driving intoxicated, and failed to get into an, er, "accident" and kill anyone.
#2 Too bad he wasn't as successful in business as his Vice President, who is never criticised for his work for Halliburton.
#3 Daddy screwed up by getting him into the ANG that was at the time being called up to provide pilots for Vietnam. Only after signup and training was Bush's type of plane no longer needed in SE Asia. As opposed to JF'nK, who signed up for a safe SwiftBoat assignment that was unexpectedly given combat duty after he signed up. And when was GWB every charged with AWOL? (Michael Moore isn't a commissioned military officer.)
#4 How did "Daddy" get him ELECTED Governor of a large State? And RE-ELECTED?
#5 The newspapers all commissioned recounts, and none showed a change in the outcome even if the SCOTUS had allowed the recounts to continue. Nor would the Republican-controlled FL legislature have installed Gore Electors, if the SCOTUS had given a very strict state-s rights ruling...
Thanks for playing, we hope you'll enjoy our Free Republic Home-game version!
Has your message button caught fire yet from all the flames?
However, I am concerned that this no-nothing, senseless, illiterate flame-bait not only has the right to vote, but very likely has the ability to be driving in the car next to me on my commute home. It's thoughts like this that keep me up at night. :-(
That would be "know-nothing". Spellcheck is not my friend today.
I always cut the troll's name, then reply to #2, but replace the name with the troll's...
Amazing what happens after two months of missing the short bus.
