It would serve to show what his position is. Just saying he will do something isn't the same as doing it.
Notice how neither Bush or Kerry do anything other than SAY what they will do? NEITHER one of them actually DOES SOMETHING to begin the process of change.
When people in positions of power say they wish to change things but do not use their power to try to change them that tells me they are full of shit.
His job is to be a senator and he has a staff to do most of the work for him so it should not be that difficult to introduce a bill. He will not do shit to change the DMCA, look at the major backers of the DMCA are then look at his major campaign donors.
Well, those other issues you speak off? He hasn't introduced any bills to fix them either. He says they are so important but he refuses to say what he will do to fix them. That shows he doesn't plan on fixing them.
That isn't how that works. Kerry would get one of his legal aids to draft the bill then he would approve it. Hell, he doesn't even have to be in DC for 97% of it to happen.

IT's a sat based system. They just can't upgrade the birds in geosync orbit!
It also costs about 250,000,000.00 USD per bird to just build it and put it in orbit, and believe it or not, they get the money to launch/build it from investors based on FUTURE earnings.

Seriously, though, I'm referring to John Kerry accepting a semiautomatic shotgun from a supporter during a campaign stop in West Virginia. The president of the United Mine Workers of America presented Senator Kerry with Beretta A300, and Kerry accepted it, saying "...I can't take it to the debate with me."
It came out after he accepted this gift that the gun would have been banned, had a bill that Kerry cosponsored passed. When confronted with this information, Kerry supporters shrugged it off as an attempt by the Bush Administration to paint Kerry as anti-gun. (Frankly, I think cosponsoring a bill that would extend the assault weapons ban does the painting for you.) Instead, Kerry was to be seen as pro-gun and pro-hunting.
The Most Sweeping Gun Ban Ever Introduced in Congress--Clinton Gun Ban "Reenactment" Bans Millions More Guns
H.R. 2038/S. 1431, introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), does not just "reenact" or "reauthorize" the 1994 Clinton Gun Ban--the federal "assault weapon" law. It bans millions more guns and begins backdoor registration of guns. All told, it`s a giant step closer to the goal stated by Clinton Gun Ban sponsor Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on CBS 60 Minutes--"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it." There is no 10-year sunset provision in H.R.2038/S.1431. It permanently bans every gun banned by the Clinton ban, and:
* Bans every gun made to comply with the Clinton ban.
The Clinton ban dictated the kinds of grips, stocks and attachments new guns can have. Manufacturers and gun owners complied and new guns conform to the Clinton-Feinstein requirements. H.R. 2038/S.1431 bans the new guns too.
* Bans guns exempted by name or type under the Clinton ban.
Commonplace Ruger Mini 14s, Mini-30s, Ranch Rifles,.30 Caliber Carbines, and fixed-magazine semi-automatic center-fire rifles.
* Bans all semi-automatic shotguns.
Bans Remington, Winchester, Beretta, Benelli, and other shotguns commonly used for hunting, trap, skeet, sporting clays, and self-defense. Bans them by banning their main component, called the "receiver" (sec. 2(a)(30)(J)), and bans them because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip"(sec. 2(H)(ii) and (b)(42)). Any characteristic.
* Bans all detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip." (sec.2(a)(30)(D)(iii) and (iv), and (b)(41) and (42)). Any characteristic.
* Bans target shooting rifles.
Bans the three centerfire rifles most popular for marksmanship competitions: the Colt AR-15, the Springfield M1A and the M1 "Garand."
* Bans guns for self-defense.
Bans any semi-automatic shotgun or rifle an Attorney General one day claims isn`t "sporting," even though the U.S. Constitution, the constitutions of 44 states, and the laws of all 50 states recognize the right to use guns for defense.
* Bans 65 named guns (the Clinton law bans 19);
Bans semi-auto fixed-magazine pistols of over 10 rounds capacity;
Bans frames, receivers, and parts used to repair or refurbish guns;
Bans importation of magazines exempted by the Clinton ban;
Bans selling a legally-owned "assault weapon" with a magazine of over 10 rounds capacity.
* Bans guns rarely used in crime. A fact proven by every state and local law enforcement agency report, and every DOJ felon survey on the subject. The Congressionally-mandated study of the Clinton ban found that the guns "were never used in more than a fraction of all gun murders."
* Begins backdoor registration. Requires private sales of banned guns, frames, and parts to be conducted through licensed dealers. Thus, the bill bans private sales and establishes de facto registration.

Plans are not actions.
Kerry never takes actions, he just makes plans. Hell, I can plan to take over the world, that doesn't mean that I can put that plan into action.
Kerry, however, can put his plans into action but he doesn't.
Why Not?
Kerry, as his lack of action in the Senate, will not change any of the things that matter to you.
He, like Bush, says one things and does another.
What site are you talking about? You sure as hell are not talking about the one you are reading this message on.
Kerry will not change anything. He currently has the power to try to change things, yet he refuses to use it.
What does that tell you?
WTF are you talking about?
He doesn't mean a computer for 100 usd. He means the hardware from 100 usd. Windows will still be 30-180 USD.
That they way things work, Microsoft only wants microsoft to make a profit.
Are you two? Because you sure sound like it.
But, if you can, ask yourself why Kerry hasn't introduced bills over the past 20 years to fix what he says are the greatest problems facing America...
And I would hazard a guess, but I think I know a little more about the DC game than you do.
The goverment travels with GWB. He has access to one of the most complete comm sets in the world where ever he travels...
Kerry doesn't.
It would serve to show what his position is. Just saying he will do something isn't the same as doing it.

No, if he wanted to he could RIGHT NOW introduce a bill in the Senate to do it.
He has not. What does that tell you?

You don't understand the new definition of bias.
Anything you agree with isn't biased. Everything that disagrees with you is biased.
Something tells me that their 'envirnomental' protections they are agreeing to would get them thrown into prison if used in Europe or America.
It's isn't worth 100 Millon a year. It's really worth between 200 - 400 million as that is how much he brings in selling ads.

It costs too much. If it was 39.95 or less they would get a lot more subscribers.
You do know this is a one way service and the bandwidth issue comes from the adding of channels, not the adding of subscribers. Don't you?

That deadend business brings microsoft about 2-4 billion in pure profit each year.
Doesn't sound dead-end to me.
How is the D&D notion of good and evil 'over-simplified'?
Why?
Didn't kerry vote for most of the laws that allow ashcroft to do what you do not like?
I had a nice reply written, but I had to kill it.
I just can not bring myself to type the p word.
I guess i can't think out of the box...
Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer & Ted Kennedy would have a major impact in who gets on the USCS if kerry wins.
They also have all said that they thinks all guns should be banned.
