1. That's a heck of a lot of work for less than thirty days!

[babylonsister]

2. YOU are hot stuff, and thank you kindly!

:hug:

[ray of light]

30. thank you, babylonsister for all the fine posts you put up!

[Breeze54]

You ARE a 'ray of light' !!

I was pissed off too at Kerry in '04, for many reasons BUT

he is a good Senator and he fights and tries to do the right thing!!

He's learned a hard lesson and it shows IMHO.

Thank You for posting this!

[FREEWILL56]

45. My thoughts too.

Do you think he's regretting the extra work he has to do now because he didn't do the challenge then over rigged elections like he promissed? To my knowledge, JK does not have any renewable energy at his wife's home near Pittsburgh.

3. Senator Kerry and Senior Staff Continue to Lend Silent, Steady-on Support...

... for ongoing investigations into alleged criminal conduct at Halliburton/KBR, helping to unearth evidence that could well lead to a Federal indictment against Cheney once he's out of office.

[ray of light]

4. Really, Gosh...I thought he was only in charge of Small Business, Environment

but wasn't on the Judiciary committee.

I guess he's suppose to just barge in on them and do that job too.

[CorpGovActivist]

6. What Can I Say? Senator Kerry Hires Top-Notch Staffers...

... and they are extremely effective at helping him to reach beyond his official committee assignments and cover the full scope of his Senatorial duties.

- Dave

[bleever]

7. I continue to regard John Kerry as a true statesman.

I hope that the full scope of his Senatorial duties finds him especially concentrated on righting the Constitutional ship of state.

[CorpGovActivist]

9. He's Got It Covered...

... and we may yet see "Draft Kerry" fever - a la "Draft Gore" - before his turn on the public stage is over.

- Dave

48. Thanks for your posts here

A nice thing to read today. :)

[ray of light]

8. Somehow the leeping of tall buildings and single-handedly tackling

all the criminals in DC has eluded his great skill.

[ray of light]

10. Your following posts showed me that you actually KNEW of his investigations

I am sorry if my reply offended you. I thought I was going to have to do more research. And given my time-zone, it doesn't make me pleasant.

(Sorry)

[babylonsister]

11. That makes me really happy! Merry Christmas there! And

BTW, Merry Christmas!!

[Luftmensch067]

5. He's been doing this since January of 2005 and he never stops fighting for us!

Thanks for highlighting the AMAZING amount of work he gets done every day, every week, every month of the year...

[hibiscus]

13. Kerry was and is THE REAL DEAL!

I miss him. Life is so unfair. All I want for Christmas is one President Kerry :patriot:

[sniffa]

15. and i still wear that t-shirt

[vankuria]

36. Still have my "Kerry/Edwards poster

hanging in my den. There's something so terribly wrong with this world, when a true war hero, an accomplished senator and elder statesman could lose to a draft dodging, alcoholic, cowboy wannabe who can't even put together a coherant sentence.

It defies all logic it really does.

Lets hope next time around people have come to their senses.

[bleever]

16. Welcome to DU, hibiscus.

I believe more people went out to vote for John Kerry than * on election day of 2004.

I'm not the only one.

[rockymountaindem]

17. Let the haters hate

Kerry's head and shoulders above most everybody in Washington.

[MBS]

22. oh, you bet--he's a beacon of integrity and class in an otherwise dark

and discouraging time

[onehandle]

18. Kerry and Gore would have been great Presidents.

Bush should have been the most annoying drunk at the local Hooters.

[MBS]

24. ditto to this, too n/t

31. hense the reason they had to conspire to steal. I wonder if the Ohio DA

has anyone they can officially charge yet. I hope they're working on it.

19. You seem to have forgotten one:

[Hippo_Tron]

21. I think the point was he was responding to that thread

Most of the important things Kerry does go unnoticed. The football story gets media attention and then people respond with "Gee doesn't he have better things to do?"

[ray of light]

25. exactly! Because the media LOOKS for ways to spin things that way.

[Hippo_Tron]

26. In this particular case I think it's because people are more interested in footbal than politics

But the media does often intentionally spin things by omission.

[blogslut]

20. sigh

I am so glad he's in office. I voted for him for prez and I would do it again, gladly.

[ray of light]

29. yeh. I agree.

[globalvillage]

28. Awesome.

I saw all that stuff in the mainstream media.
Wait. No I didn't. I think there was something about football, though.
Thanks for posting. Merry Christmas, Ray of Light!

[LittleClarkie]

32. Yep, he's been doing way more than talking football

as some might think.

[IronLionZion]

33. lazy bum from boston

It's unfortunate that I have to use this emoticon: :sarcasm: but I do.

It's good to see DUers giving credit where it is due and actually appreciating what our "do nothing" Dems are actually doing instead of listening to some corporate media whore with a Republican agenda piss on us and tell us it's raining. We don't believe their Orwellian lies about the war or weapons or tax cuts or healthcare or anything else, but we believe them when they bash Democrats. :think:

Kudos to Kerry and I hope he gets the football game on national TV too, because he can and will do it all. He's John Fucking Kerry, not George Wanker Bush. Democrats can multi-task. Dems have better things to do...and actually do them.

[ProSense]

34. Agree!

:rofl:

[ray of light]

37. so many great posts in this thread...but I love the pictures in your post!

[mogster]

35. Kerry is a fine politician

He responds to the challenge of the people, and their needs. Amazing list.

[ray of light]

38. He's a fine person as well as a great public servant.

He's what publc service is suppose to be about.

Too bad the people don't get a fair chance to see what he's fought for. The media is happy to throw out flame bait.

[politicasista]

39. And people here complain about the media, then buy into everything

they fabricate. Not to mention, gleefully laping it all up and contributing to the spin.

[ray of light]

40. they do sort of cut their nose to spite their face.

Is that the right phrase?

[politicasista]

41. Yes, that's right

As I have said. The double standard here is tiresome.

[Bitwit1234]

42. I have to add this about the fuel funds bush cut

Our newspaper printed an article that said they would run out of money for fuel funds for the needy, this week. They said it was because congress failed to release more funds.

Correct me -- in this---- didn't bush slash the fuel funds. Why is congress getting the blame? I know congress isn't doing what it should but it is not fair for congress to get blamed for bush's crap.

[clarence swinney]

43. John Kerry

Wow. He will make a great Attorney General for a D President.

[ray of light]

44. Right now we need him in the Senate. We need a solid 60 and 67 would be better!

Fill it with great progressives like him!

[Mark_Pogue]

46. Kerry is a better than the

top 3 MSM Dem candidates!

[pleah]

47. Kerry said , at one of the debates " I believe we are all Gods children".

My sisters, who watch O'Liely, one told me that she never heard him say that. She watched the this, and could not recall the statement! So, what does that tell you about the mindset of the people out there?
I thought Kerry was a good man. He was (swiftboated) in every sense of the word.

[ladym55]

49. Busy month

A good man doing a great job.
