i fully understood what you were getting at, but it was tangential to what i intended this thread for. forgive me for trying to steer a thread back towards its original purpose after 2 replies.
my point is that kerry has had the power to make a direct change to all legislatable laws in this country for many years as a senior member of the congress. i find it difficult to take him seriously when he uses things like the overseas jobs issue as a primary plank in his presidential platform precisely because he could've authored legislation to change it at any time.
this varies from only discussing his voting record in that the discrepancy lies in not in his voting record, but in fact that there hasn't been legislation brought to a vote at all.
