Taking a page from her father's campaign playbook, a daughter of Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry on Monday criticized the Bush administration for its handling of the crisis in Haiti.

"I believe this administration just helped overthrow, basically overthrow, a democratically elected president," Vanessa Kerry, 26, said during a campaign stop at Stony Brook University. "We basically, in our silence, allowed him to be deposed."

[LowOiL]

Well, well, well... got any pictures of this liberal polecat?

[finnman69]

Vanessa is fair game.

[ScaniaBoy]

Even Swedish journalists and aid-workers on Haiti (never known for their right-wing views) are saying that Aristide brought this on himself, and he should have been deposed years ago.

The Dems must be desperate...

[Blue Screen of Death]

I bet they don't use that headline when Max Cleland is out on the campaign trail for Kerry.

Vanessa Kerry also fielded questions from about two dozen students on subjects ranging from the war in Iraq, foreign policy, reproductive rights and gun control. She said one of her key interests in joining the campaign was health care.

She is a third-year Harvard medical student who said she's taking time off from school to work on the campaign.

Of course, she wants free health care for everyone, she just wants to be paid $200,000./year for providing this service....

She is a third-year Harvard medical student . . .

Let me guess: She's studying to be an abortionist???

[GraceCoolidge]

Don't you mean: "Basically, Vaness is basically fair game"??? And doesn't she have a sure grasp on the issues... we allow someone to be deposed "by our silence"? Well, what else should we do? Go in there and defend him? We didn't have UN authorization!

I don't care what she's studying at Haaaavad.

What bothers me is that she's willing to campaign for Kerry after he allowed Theresa to demand his first marriage to this girl's Mother be annulled. Doesn't that mean she's a bastard child?

I loved my Daddy, but I wouldn't let him get away with that...not even if his rich second wife made him do it. Talk about losing respect! This takes the cake in my book.

I'm more interested in the republicans mounting a storm of outrage over the dems' outrageous political pandering. We just resolved hhaiti peacefully, Kerry is claiming we should have gone storming in without international support. They are accusing us of "deposing" Aristide. Just bizarre and totally irresponsible.

John Kerry makes the World right by putting Sadamm and Aristide back in power.

[raybbr]

Doesn't that mean she's a bastard child?

Not at all. The Church does not punish the children of an annulled marriage. What they say is that the children are still the children of a marriage, but, that the marriage should never have taken place for some reason, i.e. alcoholism, insanity, etc. It's a fine point but that's how they see it.

I would be more interested to know what grounds he got the annulment on.

The US saved the life of that despotic criminal, Aristede.

If he had been left in Haiti he would have had the same fate as Romania's Ceausesca.

[proudpapa]

Hey, Vanessa, why the looooong face?

[malia]

I don't believe he actually got an annulment. His first wife and mother of his children fought the annulment, and imho, rightly so!

You are correct the children are not illegitimate. Regardless, the statement is still there. The father did not think enough of the children he beget and respect for the woman he married,to just divorce, instead turned his back on a 20 + yr. relationship so he could have his way.

I know what I think of a man who would do that.

He is not much of a man! He is putting himself above his children, who he is honor bound to protect.

But then we know John F. Kerry has no honor!! We know that John F. Kerry turned his back on his country.

We know that John F. Kerry murdered his own people by his demonstrations.

If the price was right, what would this man do to his country again.

[raybbr]

I agree with everything you say about "calumniating/cavorting Kerry". He's a despicable human being. But, the people in Massachusets love him.

\Ca*lum"ni*ate\, v. i. To propagate evil reports with a design to injure the reputation of another; to make purposely false charges of some offense or crime.

[YaYa123]

Thanks for the Catholic info, and I'd be interested too, on what the annulment grounds were. His former wife was battling serious depression, maybe that was enough of a reason. I read his former wife doesn't hold a grudge. (Maybe she was glad to be rid of him.)

This is reprehensible, but then, what do I expect?

Kerry, Edwards Make Late Super Tuesday Push

Kerry, the Massachusetts senator who has won 18 of the first 20 contests, stepped up his criticism of Bush over the war in Iraq and promised to directly confront the president for his handling of the economy and national security... Earlier, at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, Kerry said, "There is a better way to make America safe than this president has chosen. This president has, in fact, created terrorists where they did not exist."
