The passing of President Ronald Reagan reminds us that John Kerry was wrong about another war and another president. Here are his words from 1984 regarding the invasion of Grenada.
“The Reagan policy of substituting public relations for diplomatic relations … no substantial threat to U.S. interests existed and American lives were not endangered … The invasion represented a bully’s show of force against a weak Third World nation. The invasion only served to heighten world tensions and further strain brittle U.S. Soviet and North-South relations.”
-John Kerry in the Cape Codder
How do we know Kerry was wrong. Here’s an excerpt from the new book John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography by the Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best:
“Twenty years later in his campaign for president, Kerry would rewrite history by listing Grenada among the U.S. military incursions he had supported. ‘I was dismissive of the majesty of the invasion of Grenada,’ Kerry says now. ‘But I basically was supportive. I never publicly opposed it.’”
Let’s remember this next time he attacks President Bush’s policy’s toward Iraq.
Many liberals happy Reagan is gone.
Kerry uses Reagan’s death to bash Bush on Cuba?
Kerry blog calls Reagan “daft” and “unforgivable”... "should have been impeached."

I only recognized the greatness of the man when looking in the rear view mirror. RIP, Gipper.
I for one, refuse to do business with known Dems. I've walked out of stores, with my purchases left on the counter, and have passed the word to others.
Their whoa is me attitude is evident from the first glance. I can spot a Lib/Dem without them uttering a word. Try it some time. It has turned into a game for me. The new Civil war has started, and it started with Hillary and her VRWC theory.
John Kerry is a total POS.
There is no doubt. He is and was great. Maybe time to put him on the rock...
Concerning Cuba, didn't the first JFK make a promise Castro would never be attacked?
The FIRST JFK? Who was the second?
The next election maybe based on history. The left-wangers are at a distinct disadvantage...
" Here’s an excerpt from the new book John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography by the Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best:"
Here's another-page 207
" In the 1984 general election,however, the main thrust of Kerry's candidacy was an attack on Reagan's economic, foreign and military policies."
Page 211:
" They (Kerry and Harkin )would emerge as heroic foes against a warmongering Reagan White House."
Page 221:
"According to the Congressional Quarterly, Kerry voted against Reagan 73% of the time."
Kerry never wasted an opportunity to disparage , criticize and undermine President Reagan. Especially when President Reagan was trying to defend and protect the US from it's enemies and was building up the military. Some things never change.
I never opposed your statement there. So I must support it, according to Kerry. Or maybe not.
Has anyone else noticed that Fox News seems to have a nice liberal spin on Reagan's life? The commentary is certainly fairly right, but their ticker and the bio they've been running are crushingly negative, from their 'national debt spiraled' manure to the 'Iran-Contra crippled his second term' b.s.
What a fair and balanced news team they've put together there. Could they not find a single unbiased reporter? Is that what it has come to? Possibly the best president in my lifetime and the greatest in the history of the republic, and even the best of the media still has to hack the man apart with partisan crap after he's dead?
I am glad he's gone to a better place, but I miss him mightily. I often wonder how the last ten years would have gone had he been with us in mind as well as spirit.
BUMP!
Perhaps this quote would allow a little insight into that question.
August 17, 1992 ..Republican National Convention,.
"When you see all that rhetorical smoke billowing up from the Democrats, well ladies and gentleman, I'd follow the example of their nominee; don't inhale."
Maybe he's a dickwipe and/or assbag or vice versa. I think we have it covered.
Something to think about; they certainly are a miserable lot gleaned from their comments. "Malignant" comes to mind as a descriptive.
If you go to Kerry's website and visit his Blog, I'm sure you'll change your tune and be a little more than offended. On fool says he should have been impeached.
Even sicker is that anti-Reagan comments litter the Kerry Bolog. Not as bad as DU (who could be that bad?) but pretty bad.
Wait wait wait. Is he a "dickbag" or a "scumbag"? I always thought he was an "Ass Clown."
Oh stuff it ...
