Senate panel approves Kerry nomination (Cowardly GOP kowtows to Obama)
http://news.yahoo.com ^ | January 29, 2013 | DONNA CASSATA

"Obama chose Kerry, 69, the son of a diplomat, decorated Vietnam veteran and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, to succeed Clinton, who is stepping down after four years. The senator had pined for the top diplomatic job that went to Clinton after Obama's 2008 election"

Not one GOP member has so much as dare mention this cowardly bastard's treasonous actions during and after the Vietnam War. Like I have said before, the GOP is done as a party of relevance. Next up will be the Israel-hating, Bush-bashing RINO Pvt Hagel as Secretary of Defense.

I have absolutely no faith or confidence in the Government of the United States or in any elected member or bureaucratic employee thereof. It is government by farce.

That’s because they want him the hell out of the senate! And being from MA, I’ll be very happy to see him gone. He’ll continue the foreign policy chaos of Obama, but that was going to happen anyway.

I am actually surprised that Rand Paul would have voted for Kerry. Also saddened. I had hope in him-now I trust noone.

Is this really kowtowing to Obama? They’re all Senators, and they’ve worked together for decades. Kerry’s their buddy, of course they were going to pass him through without issue. His ideology, his traitorous past have nothing to do with it since he’s got his buddies voting for him.

Today marks 2921 days since 01/30/2005 when "Hanoi" John Effin Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records.

Did Kerry meet with the viet cong during the viet nam war, while he was a reserve officer or not?

If yes - He cannot be Sec of State.

It is that simple - no politics; no personal attacks.

Is the GOPe/GOP just the right wing of the political ruling class, or is it a party with principles?

Thurston Howell III and Lovey. What a couple of maroons! I guess nothing should surprise me any more. Too bad he didn’t go on a 3 hour tour on his “gun boat” back when. He did serve in Viet Nam in case you forgot. Maybe his expertise will allow him to negotiate with Jhen-Jhis Khan. The haughty john f’n kerry should fit right in with the hoi paloi. What an outstanding negotiator. Kind of like when he went to gay Paree to have talks with the NVA. What a disgrace this clown is. Now thankfully he can once again say: “Reporting for duty”. He lied and...........well, he lied. Tossed “his” medals over the fence. Well, not actually “his” medals. But, he does have great kennedyesque hair. As if that means anything outside the beltway. Uh, did he move his yacht yet?

Sad to say that the northeast was where this country got it’s start. What the hell happened?

Molon labe.

A treasonous bastard as Sec. of State, Republicans are less than useless and complaisant in treason.

Conservatives and patriotic Americans no longer have a party to represent them in Congress. The Communists, Marxists, and other American hating enemies have taken over the country. The Left's long march through the institutions, including the school system, has assured the death of the USA.

They’re demokkkrats/radical left wing extremists. Do you really think they care about rules and regulations? Just minor distractions from their ultimate goals. “Sorry, we can’t be bothered by that or you.” We’re dismissed like a bunch of peons. Which we are by their standards. If we weren’t we’d be mixing it up with them but since we aren’t, we must be peons. Gather the pitchforks! No principles discovered in the latest search.

Molon labe.

Why? Elections have consequences. We lost. Generally speaking, the President gets the cabinet he wants. Like a lot of constitutional originalists, Rand probably believes disagreeing with a nominee, no matter how vehemently, is just not reason enough to vote to deny the President his choice.

Kerry is a disaster who's been wrong about pretty much everything in his entire career, but this is the result of losing yet another election.

Senator Rand Paul’s office in Washington D.C suggested the Senators voted to pass the nomination out of committee for a full vote in the Senate. They could not explain why when questioned. Telephone and let them no about your opinions.

Why single out Kerry as a traitor?

Every one of these men know Kerry’s record.

If Kerry is a traitor—every one of these stinking smelly Obama’s are traitors too.

In the United States a Patriot like Sarah Palin is crucified while this band-aid wearing, Jane fonda loving, medal tossing, POW killing Piece of excrement is given one of the top Cabinet jobs in a Muslims administration.

My God My God why hast Thou forsaken us.

As if I didn’t know—abortion and Homosexuals.
