Eisboch,
If you notice on johnkerry.com they list generalities with very little
specific accomplishments.


That's because any Senator has very little he or she can take personal, and
exclusive
credit for. It's a committee environment.
That's why "served on this committee", "co-sponsored X bill". etc, is about as
good as it gets.

Good campaign smear though. Measure a legislator by the same yardstick you
would use to evaluate an executive.

It would be like asking Geoprge Bush to list all of his Senate votes during the
last four years in the WH.

Actually "introduced or sponsored" important bills is about as good as it
gets.

So what *important* bills did Kerry introduce or sponsor?

Gould,

It is not a campaign smear. A senator can list those bills that he
sponsored of cosponsored that passed and became law.

It would show the candidates ability to lead and initiate bills, and not
just one who is voting on the party line.

As I pointed out earlier, I could not find any bill of significance that
Kerry sponsored or cosponsored. When I asked you to find one bill that you
thought was significant, you could not find any either.
