Awww, dontcha think you're being tough on the eloquent, stylish flip flopper?

Kerry probably just had his eye on a fancy bauble and needed to do a little somethin' for Mrs. Moneybags.

this is phony. evemn if you do a word search using "reliquidation", there are only two senate bills with that in the title, neither had anything to do with kerry. One bill relates to reliquidation of certain radios, the other to trade with Chili.

If you look by number, you get other bills.

this guy is as phony as KErry himself

why go through a third party site when you can go to congress itself? I would think that congress.gov would be the difinitive site of all things related to congress, unless you're talking about other than congress (which includes the senate - where Kerry works)

methinks you've been scammed.

ABOUT THOMAS

BACKGROUND
Acting under the directive of the leadership of the 104th Congress to make Federal legislative information freely available to the Internet public, a Library of Congress team brought the THOMAS World Wide Web system online in January 1995, at the inception of the 104th Congress. Searching capabilities in THOMAS were built on the InQuery information retrieval system, developed by the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval based at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

The first database made available was Bill Text, followed shortly by Congressional Record Text, Bill Summary & Status, Hot Bills (no longer maintained), the Congressional Record Index, and the Constitution (now found, along with other historical Congressional documents, under the "Historical Documents" category on the THOMAS home page). Enhancements in the types of legislative data available, as well as in search and display capabilities, have been continuously added.

This is an official LIBRARY OF CONGRESS site!!

(sigh!) the official site of the US Congress is (again) www.congress.gov. You can simply plug the bill number in (it will take either house OR senate bill numbers) and it will show the bill. 2382 is a bill by Inoye from Hawaii inre: native americans!

That "third party site" happens to be the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS (loc.gov).

I pulled up the wrong bills in my first search as well. Then it dawned on me, I don't think Kerry's even set foot in the Senate in 2004. ;-)

Not really involved here - think it does bear further investigation, but think it is ABSOTIVELY POSULUTELY OUTSTANDING that we are policing each other like this! It is so much more credible then what the MSM does these days. This is great! Keep it up on all sides - the Truth IS out there.

Wow - just had woo wo woo wo music go through my head :)

I guess I failed to make myself clear. I apologize.

When I first read your post, I thought it might be a spoof or satire- it seemed funny.

Then I clicked on the links you provided and discovered they were on Thomas.org which I've been to many times- and this gave (to my mind) some legitimacy.

As to the length of my tenure at FR- I'm confused as to it's import.

I smoke Marlboro lights.
