Kerry Plans

Okay, through the debates, we've learned that Kerry has a plan for everything. Kerry has so many plans to put this country on the right path that there is a drinking game out there that no one can play, because if you took a drink everytime the guy said "I have a plan" that you'd end up with alcohol poisoning right quick. This raises a question. If Kerry has all of these plans, why hasn't he already introduced them in the Senate? A President does not rule by fiat; a President must get bills passed into law by the Senate and the House. Kerry could have started to right all of the wrongs he sees by introducing his plans this summer and fall, but he didn't. Why should I believe he has these plans if he hasn't shown any action on them in Congress? Why should I believe Kerry can reach across the aisle as President if he's made no effort to do so as a Senator, where the environment is much more hospitable to bipartisanship than the Presidency, where the minority party always has an interest in weakening your influence. Kerry is a guy who, in my opinion, says a lot in order to say very little. I know that those of you who despise Bush see the guy as the messiah, but he is anything but the "Real Deal".
