Thread Name: BS: Open Letter to Kerry Supporters...
Subject: RE: BS: Open Letter to Kerry Supporters...
From several posters above:

"Kerry has a plan" "Kerry has some ideas" "What Kerry is talking about."

Has anyone noticed that the one thing Kerry is not talking about is his record in the senate? He has been there for what, 18 or 20 years and has nothing that he is proud of to run as a president who can accomplish anything? This is not just about campaign strategy. This is about being one of the 100 most influential people in the country and having basically no results to show for it. If he has such a great health care plan, how come there is no legislation, proposed or passed, with his name on it? If he has a plan to fix medicare and medicaid, why is there no legislation, proposed or passed, with his name on it? If he can fix the economy why has he not already done so? The only senator in Massachusetts that can accomplish anything is Kennedy.

The one main point in Kerry's campaign so far has been his service in Vietnam. It has been hashed, rehashed and overhashed. His service in the Senate has been totally ignored, except by the Republicans who are having a field day with all of his flip flops and crazy voting patterns. The rest of Kerry's campaign is all "promises" and "plans". I think this is where Bobert is getting his opinion that Kerry cannot win. If Kerry wants to win, and if the Democrats expect him to win, they had better break out his senate record and let the American people see that he has been an effective senator. Otherwise, Bush wins.
