Need Freeper Help - What Has Kerry Accomplished in the Senate?

[Hillary'sMoralVoid]

Where can I find Kerry's major accomplishments in the Senate? What committees has he served on, what has he chaired, what legislation has he sponsored? Where has he shown any leadership on anything?

Is this an obscene post? By asking us to list some of Kerry's accomplishments, you ask the impossible.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

kerry's senate accomplishments?

Uh...he missed more hearings and votes than any other senator?

[Phantom Lord]

Absolutely NOTHING!

Not a single piece of legislation passed and signed into law bears his name as the sponsor. NONE.

His biggest legislative push, The Kerry Amendment, which would have decimated out intelligence community was so radical and dangerous that he could not find a single co-sponsor. Even Ted Kennedy found it to radical.

[counterpunch]

He has none.

He once whitewashed the POW/MIAs left in Vietnam so his cousin, C. Stewart Forbes could get contracts in Vietnam for the company he is CEO of, Colliers International, along with a host of heavy Democrat contributors.

He's done nothing else of note.

He married a billionaire.

I don't know the source, but I recall hearing that he's managed to show up about 22% of the time.

I imagine he's been able to collect 100% of his Senate pay and spend 100% of the funds allowed, however.

I believe these to be his most noteable accomplishments.

[LisaMalia]

I'll tell you what he didn't do.

He was absent for two different votes on the unemployment extension bill. The first time it lost by two votes (Edwards and Kerry absent) and the second time it went down by one vote (Kerry absent). He was out campaigning jetsetting during both votes.

But he CARES so much about the working people in our country. Ha!

You're sure to find the unbiased truth here...

John Kerry did nothing of note in the Senate. He was not a leader nor did he craft notable legislation. He was just a lazy bum who reveled in the prestige of the office. He hit the jackpot when he married the pickle and ketchup heiress.

He does have a Senate voting record and it one of the most liberal.

IIRC, Hannity said this:

Kerry sponsored 1 bill and co-sponsored 2 bills, total, during his 19-year Senate tenure.


I think the bill he sponsored was the one to cut $billions from the Intel budget. The bill was so bad that even Ted Kennedy voted against it.

I have no idea what the 2 co-sponsored bills were.

[stop_fascism]

Kerry was in the senate? Are you sure. First I;ve heard of this.

[TomGuy]

Either Kerry or Edward showed up for only about 39 meetings, while serving on the Intel Committee, which met something like 48 times.

So he missed nearly 20% of those meetings.

IIRC, he sponsored 1 bill, co-sponsored 2 bills; all 3 were defeated. Not bad for 19yrs in the US Senate. What a waste of oxygen he is.

[backinthefold]

What did kerry do in the senate.... hmmmmmm

 

 

 

 

 

*sound of crickets*

 

 

When you find out... let me know....

You got that backwards... there were 48 meetings, and Kerry MISSED 39. I have no link to that, but Zell Miller said that the other night on Hannity & Combes
