I'm sure this was posted here long ago, but I ran into it after reading the FR thread with the Swiftvet messageboard piece yesterday that indicated talk-radio and media in general have ignored this bit of kerry hiatory. Hopefully, the catchy title will be noticed by media lurkers willing to bring this bit to the fore now.

We gave 'our' Panama Canal over to the Chinese and communist influence has also spread to Venezuela who is about to begin shipping oil to China...

I would John F Kerry bears some heavy responsiblity for these kinds of things coming to fruition...

Seems the communist influence is everywhere...govt., media, education, entertainment, law

Looks like Sen Joe had it right along.....dang...who knew?

That April 1985 journey to Nicaragua would become a trademark of the Kerry school of statecraft: making common cause with enemies of the United States

Viet Nam, Nicaragua...who is next? Here we are, a country at war in Iraq and against terrorism in general and the media seems to think that Kerry's history is not significant and should not inform us.

Thanks for posting this.

I posted this a few weeks ago and have been posting the link ever since. The story can't be told often enough, so thanks for the repost.

His stellar Senate career, where his greatest achievements were

Stopping the funding for the Nicaraguan Contras after bring back a peace agreement with Daniel Ortega of the Sandanistas (which was worthless). Ortega turned around and solicited $200 million from the Soviets a few days later. Here is another article: Don't forget 'The John Kerry Committee'

Blocking the vote on the Vietnam Human Rights Act in the Senate in 2001, which tied U.S. aid to Vietnam's human rights performance, and had passed by a 410-1 margin in the House of Representatives. Kerry, chairman of the Senate's East Asian and Pacific Affairs subcommittee, said in a statement at the time that he and fellow Vietnam War veteran Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) "are concerned that denying aid to Vietnam would actually slow human rights improvements." Many Vietnamese living abroad, along with human rights campaigners, say conditions in Vietnam have deteriorated in the three years since Kerry blocked the legislation.

Persuading the MIA/POW Senate committee to vote unanimously that no POWs existed in Vietnam in order to open up trade with Vietnam (his cousin C. Stewart Forbes, CEO of Colliers Intl, received a contract for a huge commercial deal worth at least $905 million to develop a deep-sea commercial port at Vung Tau).
