John Kerry's Sad List of Achievements

In his 20 years in the Senate, John Kerry authored a grand total of five bills that passed both the Senate and House and became law: Just How Many Bills Has Kerry ‘Passed?’ (Hat tip: Paul.)

* S.791: Authorizes $53 million over four years to provide grants to woman-owned small businesses. (1999)

* S.1206: Names a federal building in Waltham, Massachusetts after Frederick C. Murphy, who was killed in action during World War II and awarded (posthumously) the Medal of Honor. (1994)

* S.1636: A save-the-dolphins measure aiming“to improve the program to reduce the incidental taking of marine mammals during the course of commercial fishing operations.” (1994)

* S.1563: Funding the National Sea Grant College Program, which supports university-based research, public education, and other projects “to promote better understanding, conservation and use of America’s coastal resources.” (1991)

* S.423: Granting a visa and admission to the U.S. as a permanent resident to Kil Joon Yu Callahan. (1987)

He was also author of two bills that became law in modified form:

* H.R.1900 (S.300): Awarded a congressional gold medal to Jackie Robinson (posthumously), and called for a national day of recognition. (2003)

* H.R.1860 (S.856): Increased the maximum research grants for small businesses from $500,000 to $750,000 under the Small Business Technology Transfer Program. (2001)

... and co-authored four “joint resolutions” that are not technically “bills:”

* S.J.Res.158: To make the week of Oct. 22 — Oct. 28, 1989 “World Population Awareness Week.” (1989)

* S.J.Res.160: To renew “World Population Awareness Week” for 1991. (1991)

* S.J.Res.318: To make Nov. 13, 1992 “Vietnam Veterans Memorial 10th Anniversary Day.” (1992)

* S.J.Res.337: To make Sept. 18, 1992 “National POW/MIA Recognition Day.” (1992)

That’s it. This is what Kerry has to show for 20 years in the Senate.

In his claim during the final debate that he had “passed 56 individual bills” that he had “personally written,” Kerry was including every bill that passed the Senate (whether or not it became law), and 24 resolutions that have no force of law. The man is a self-aggrandizing liar of the worst sort, with almost nothing of substance to show for a 20-year career in politics.

Sad, isn't it? No wonder he has downplayed his Senate record in favor of his Vietnam betrayal, er, I mean, service.

All he has to do is be one out of one hundred in a big committee, and he can't even manage that! He has even been absent from that meager responsibility for the past year.

It is clear why a governorship of a state is the best on the job training you can get for being president: it is a smaller version of the federal government. Bush had the training that Kerry never had, dealing with legislatures, unions, and even a foreign government.

Kerry will need to learn to do the job from scratch.

Let's make sure he doesn't have the chance.

Thanks for posting this. There were badly needed FACTS that are easy to pass on, and they certainly speak for themselves.

[KWJams]

Good question RogerRabbit

The Kerry record comes up short of any evidence of character or leadership ability's.

It shows the traits of a slacker or a follower more than anything.

FACTCHECK also has the details. This would be a great 2 min. Bush AD.

That's a mighty short and pathetic resume for 20 years in the Senate.

Nice work if you can get it, I guess. Apparently the good people of Massachusetts don't mind having a shiftless, do-nothing money-grabber as their junior senator.

A two minute advert for the Bush campaign? Hahahaaaaaa!
Kerry's resume is so weak... what will the ad say for the remaining 1:45 ??

Wow what an impressive record of achivement for a 20 year senator.

There are some senators that have done more in a month than Kerry did in 20 years. Amazing, huh.
