Of the 90 bills he introduced during his eight years in the Senate, only four became law.

In 20+ years as a Representative, Ron Paul sponsored 320 bills. 315 didn't make it out of committee, 1 was withdrawn, 4 failed to pass.

OTOH, Dr. Paul voted "No!" more than 1700 times! Even casting votes against the safety of our troops actively engaged in battle against our enemies.

I think they’re referring to “public laws” in this article. When I did a THOMAS search of public laws and flagged those that Thompson introduced, I came up with four (which is the number the article cited):

S.2712: A bill to amend chapter 35 of title 31, United States Code, to authorize the consolidation of certain financial and performance management reports required of Federal agencies, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Sen Thompson, Fred (introduced 6/12/2000)

S.1707: A bill to amend the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.) to provide that certain designated Federal entities shall be establishments under such Act, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Sen Thompson, Fred (introduced 10/7/1999)

S.2071: A bill to extend a quarterly financial report program administered by the Secretary of Commerce.
Sponsor: Sen Thompson, Fred (introduced 5/13/1998)

S.1931: An Act to provide that the United States Post Office and Courthouse building located at 9 East Broad Street, Cookeville, Tennessee, shall be known and designated as the “L. Clure Morton United States Post Office Courthouse”.
Sponsor: Sen Thompson, Fred (introduced 7/8/1996)

The stat is definitely misleading, since there are so many other things that Thompson has done. However, even by this measure, Thompson vastly outperformed Clinton, Obama and Edwards (see my previous post).
