George Bush loves to attack John Kerry's legislative record. But the fact is that 57 bills and resolutions Kerry sponsored passed the Senate and countless others have been improved because of his work, including the Clean Air Act, the Children's Health Insurance Program and the COPS program. In addition, Kerry has taken on the special interests and won. He fought against Newt Gingrich's anti-labor and anti-environmental regulatory reform, he has fought to raise the minimum wage, and he has worked to shut down wasteful corporate subsidies.Very distinguished record, Vice-President Dickless. No wonder you don't want any Democrats around you.
Here, for comparison is a summary of the legislation sponsored and passed by Vice President Cheney during his 11 year legislative career.
