15. I think we should ask them who has done a better job this year
in this 109th (weasel) Congress. Let's see Kerry voted against:

Condiliar Rice's confirmation in committee and on the floor. Kerry questioned Condiliar for well over 1 & 1/2 hours in committee. (Longer than anyone else.) Kerry got Rice to answer no, on the record and under oath, to the idea that the US has plans to invade Iraq. (Along with numerous other things I can delineate if desired. Maybe we need a running total of what has gone on.)

Voted Against Torture Boy Gonzales on the floor.

Voted against the Tort Deform Bill. (Screwing the little guy doesn't appear to be on his agenda.) Voted with the minority on 4 amendments.

Will vote against the Bankruptcy Bill (In fact voted straight lib on 17 or 18 amendments to this bill. The only one he vote with the majority was an amendment that might need to go back to committee for review.)

Submitted KidsComeFirst Bill to get health care for 9 million kids not currently covered.

Cosponsored the Election Reform bill that Sen. Clinton and Rep Tubbs-Jones have submitted.

And I've left out stuff (on account of my raging cold.) This is a good record. And it's only the second week in March.

Who has a better one right now?
