A day after Ronald Reagan's death Sen. John Kerry praised him for his "love of country" and geniality. But as recently as last year Kerry boasted:
"I'm proud that I stood against Ronald Reagan, not with him, when his intelligence agencies were abusing the Constitution of the United States and when he was running an illegal war in Central America."
That's just one of a series of anti-Reagan quotes unearthed by the Weekly Standard, where the Massachusetts Democrat slams Reagan as everything from an "inexperienced" governor to a dime store cowboy.
But it was the battle over U.S. aid to Nicaragua's Contra freedom fighters - backed by Reagan and opposed by Congressional Democrats - that drove Kerry to extremes.
He was one of ten signatories to the infamous "Dear Commandante" letter that offered Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega a deal: Don't do anything too overtly Marxist and Democrats would see to it that the Reagan-backed freedom fighters would be denied funding.
After Reagan lost the vote, Ortega promptly traveled to Moscow to get further instructions from his Soviet patrons, leaving Kerry and crew looking like communist dupes.
I'm proud to affirm my place in history of being a stupid idiot!"-
That's what the headline SHOULD have read. What a moron.
"Help" He's talking...and he can't shut up!" Have you ever met anyone who's more in love with hearing himself speak!
Please ask "LiveShot" about this during the "Great Debate".
" After Reagan lost the vote, Ortega promptly traveled to Moscow to get further instructions from his Soviet patrons, leaving Kerry and crew looking like communist dupes."
I love it.
Kerry couldn't shine Reagan's shoes!
Thanks for sharing this with us at this time.
Timing is everything John, you failed.
"He was one of ten signatories to the infamous "Dear Commandante" letter that offered Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega a deal: Don't do anything too overtly Marxist and Democrats would see to it that the Reagan-backed freedom fighters would be denied funding."
Thank you for this fabulous illumination of Kerry's *ss. Once again, we see Kerry for what he is - a lying, mincing, bawling, carping dungheap of a human; a slippery sack of skin holding nothing remotely redeemable for anything remonstrably valuable.
Does someone have that picture of J effen K with Daniel Ortega they can post here?
I geninuely *LOVE* this line:

You, sir, are brilliant! I will gladly attribute your name to this piece of literary genius! Wish I said it!
Simply fabulous!
Thanks
Me, it was me! I said something somebody liked!!! Thank you...
(And I'm a girl, too, in case my personal neediness for affirmation didn't just blow my cover here).
Bravo.
You frequently say things I like!
Didn't mean to slight your gender.
Being a boy...I LOVE girls...especially witty, Republican, thinking girls!
Again, BRAVO! Well said!
No, you da man. I read you all the time. Between you and Petronski, it's like a late-night literary festival of the mind.
bttt
Mornings too.
Thanks again. Late night literal sleep beckons here in Charlottesville, VA.
Keep at it!
...carping human dung heap....she says! (laughing)
...sheer genius!
Actually, I usually consider it a compliment, and not a slight when somebody mistakes me for a man... but online only. If it happened in real life, then it'd be a first!
And then I'd cry, because it would mean that society had gotten so twisted that people thought men were SUPPOSED to wear flower-print dresses and have their hair grown down to their waists...
