You are too kind about Kerry I really don't know why folks don't Identify this man for what he is He is a International Communist!

The IC has infiltrated the DNC and a little of the RNC we Amercians still have control of the Republican party! I will share a little of the family history of Kerry on the FORBES side!

This article is about the Forbes family related to US Senator John Kerry. For information about the Forbes family associated with Forbes magazine, see Forbes Several of the Forbes family cashed out of their dealings in China after the Opium War, and reinvested in Europe and the United States. Some of the population growth of Chicago and Midwestern Plains states in the middle to late 19th century was due to John Murray Forbes' railroad projects in Michigan and Chicago. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co., from Chicago west to the Pacific was built by John Murray Forbes who had perhaps a reputation for sound financial management amongst the railroad tycoons of the day.

In 1879, William Forbes, son of John Murray Forbes, risked the fortune to financially back Alexander Graham Bell's telephone company, and become president of the company, a risk which paid off. Cameron Forbes used his wealth to become Governor General of the Philippines.

His niece "Ruth Forbes Paine Young" tapped her Forbes family inheritance to finance the International Peace Academy.

Her husband invented the Bell Helicopter used in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

In a tiny footnote to history, Ruth Forbes Paine Young's son, Michael R. Paine, and his wife Ruth Paine, allowed Maria Oswald, the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, to live in their house as a family friend, and Oswald's rifle was stored for a time in the Paine's family garage.

Many Forbes family members purchased estates in France and Massachusetts, and generally remain influential there, in local or national politics.

John Forbes Kerry is a U.S. Senator and currently a candidate for President of the U.S. Though he is a beneficiary of several Forbes family trusts (c. 2002), Kerry has not worked in the private sector for Forbes family business interests and has devoted his life to a career in public service. Kerry's first cousin and friend, Brice Lalonde, an environmentalist activist, is a French Green party politician who was a candidate for President of France in 1981 and currently mayor of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer near the Forbes family estate.

CON'T Forbes family

I think McCain wanted to make it all go away, cuz he didn't want to deal with his own "issues" about it anymore.

It's the partisan nature of politics. McCain would have been allowed to serve on the Clinton plantation, but would have had no pull. Kerry, good operative of the correct party would be taken seriously.

Respectfully, I disagree. McCain tossed aside the POW/MIA issue along with Kerry for lucrative pay offs or political support from those who would develop business and assets in Viet Nam. Check out the hotels in Cam Ranh and other seaside communities. Check out the prices for a pleasant vacation in a third world country.

Disagreement noted & processed. I never followed much about him, but tended to pity him. Thought he had a screw loose, but was willing to cut him a little slack for it. I pity him no more. If I lived in his state, I'd have to try to get him voted out of office.

For now, working against one of his partners in crime is the greater need.

I want to believe in McCain,

Good luck at that, McCain seems to have his own agenda that I just couldn't square up myself.

We all pitied McCain and cut him slack but McCain's Senate performance over the years gives us a view into his character. When he was released from the prison camps in the '70s, he was cut a lot of slack. McCain capitalized on it. (Don't forget his involvement in the Keating 5).

Keating 5 was the first thing that came back to my mind as I read your post & it was sitting there, wanting to come out as I wrote my response. The size of larceny by a dishonest man is only limited by fear of getting caught & the size of opportunity.

As far as his Senate performance, as I said, I haven't paid much attention to him. When I'm paying attention to Senate votes, both of my own Senators make me a lot more ill than the votes of anyone else. If you think McCain is bad, put his record up against Feingold & Kohl.

It is no surprise that the present campaign finance reform is the McCain/Feingold bill?
