John Kerry was well into his second term in the Senate before he passed his first piece of legislation. I believe he’s had only three or four more since.
Come to think of it, AlGore hadn’t done much of anything in the Senate either. What is it with Democrats, anyway?

Typical GOP Lies………..Obama sponsored 37 bills, of which all have passed. For all you idiots out there, he’s a Christian and not Muslim, faithfully married to his wife with two loving daughters. John McCain, cheated on his first wife, Carol McCain while an officer in the Navy (Conduct Unbecoming)and disregarded his marriage vows before God to sleep with a young 25 year old heiress named Cindy. McSame is a lying, adultrous scumbag who gave up his Navy Career before being drummed out of the Navy. By the way, I am a White Male from Arizona who will not vote for a man with no moral values.

You need to get off this right-wing fixation with accoplishments. After all, how many legislative innitiatives really give someone a warm feeling inside.
Obama’s campaign isn’t about policy or proposals. It’s about hope and change. No other politician out there can deliver hope and change. And if there’s one thing the country sorely lacks, it’s hope and change.
Ignore that man behind the banner that says Hope and Change.

There’s a meaningless platitude. I think that under Obama, the change could very well make things worse. As far as hope is concerned, the people that REALLY love this country have all the hope they need or want. It’s those that hate our country that are without hope.

wing chun that is funny. LOL…

How many bills did Osamabama write and was the original author of versus attaching his name as co-sponsor to bills other people wrote?
McSame is a lying, adultrous scumbag who gave up his Navy Career before being drummed out of the Navy.
It is inexcusable to use McSame for a genuine war hero. When did Osamabama ever risk his life or risk anything at all to save the life of another human being? What risks did he ever take to help another human being?
McCain suffered the most inhuman torture possible as a POW in North Vietnam, while his wife suffered at home. The toll of war on McCain and a long separation was too much for them to bear and their marriage to survive, but they remain friends to this day. Now what other crud do you want to throw at a man whose boots you are not worthy to shine?

Doc Dave: “There’s a meaningless platitude” Wing Chun knows that, he was being sarcastic!
None of this matters, Obama’s several or many questionable relationships, his past troubling public utterances and policy positions, his mistakes in life and his failure to say what “change’ means. Too many people don’t get it still – this is all about image, mystique, movie star qualities and a messiah attraction that will never allow these things to dissuade his ardent, loving, adoring and idolatrous followers. If anyone, even McCain tries to get this to the issues, he will face vague answers, triangulated answers; that is, answers that cover every possible side of every issue in opaque ways that will satisfy every one of his followers. He will never get pinned down, his appeal is “I am compassionate, an agent of change for good, above ordinary men and to question his motives or plans will be equal to attacking him and will fail.
Have a lovely 2008!

HOPE is when you see an attractive woman at a bar and walk over to buy her a drink.
CHANGE occurs 7 weeks later when you find out she’s unemployed, deep in credit card dept, and pregnant with your child.

Robbie and Friends …
It might help your credibility a little bit if you do a bit more research than listening to Rush Limbaugh, Tim Russert and Chris Matthews (after all, they’re all the same guy, LOL!). Anyway, I think we would ALL be a little hard-pressed if asked on the spot to name ANY candidate’s legislative accomplishments. That’s just not the kind of data any of us is going to have at the forefront of his/her brain, unless they are anticipating a need to recite it.
At any rate, for the feeble of mind, who choose to think vicariously through Matthews:
Obama in his first 8 Months sponsored over 820 Bills. Introduced 233 Bills on Healthcare Reform, 125 Bills on Poverty and Public Assistance, 112 Bills on Crime Fighting, 97 Economic Bills, 60 Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bills, 21 Ethics Reform Bills, 6 Veterans Affairs Bills and many others. In his First Year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 Bills and co-sponsored another 427. These Include: 1) the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became Law, 2) the Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became Law, 3) the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate, 4) the 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became Law, just to name a few. In all, since he entered the Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 Bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
by the way … Presidents sign bills into law – not senators. It’s a simple reality of politics that Democrat-sponsored bills have a hard time passing by a Republican administration and vice versa. But, like Chris/Tim/Rush, it’s apparent that you are desperately trying to work the magic of The Spin. That’s what crooked politicians do, when the facts are not on their side.

How true, Neiman. Unfortunately,many (perhaps most) Americans get their political education from CNN/MSM and anti-USA cinema.

Wow, I think many of us could go out and say I am running on change. Impressive that he hasn’t done anything yet but is worthy of being president.
