"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"

This was just voted out of committee. It was the right thing to do. Geeez...
Two words. Logan Act.
Kerry has been on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 28 years. Madeline, Hillary, Kerry...No matter...They march to their drummer.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Senate panel approves Kerry nomination (Cowardly GOP kowtows to Obama), NKP_Vet wrote:
“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.”
Course not if they did then they’d have to vote against “The Cambodian Kid”....sickeing ain’t it
You don’t think America should have a communist to deal with communist regarding Americas world intrest? Are you biased against traitorous commie b@$*@&^$.
Will jane fonda be john kerry’s under-secretary?
In a very sick/sad way it seems to always come back to the state run media. Talk to ANY young person (high school through college age) or any older person who only tunes into ABC NBC etc - what the media has done is demonize the Republicans and convince these ‘low info’ voters that they are the party of obstruction.
It is a reality and having said as much, I wonder if the thought was to save their fight for Hagel and Lew. In the end, this pos Kerry has spread his filth his entire life, and this post isn’t going to be much different then what that old hag bag Hillary was doing.
I get the anger, but I can’t imagine having to deal with all the filth in DC and try to fight every piece of cra* the commies keep pushing.
Just my take on it.
“He did serve in Viet Nam in case you forgot”.
He spent FOUR MONTHS in-country. I was in SEA during this time and you had to have at least 6 months on any short tour to even get credit for the tour. In addition the decorations for valor he was awarded were all bogus. He wrote them up himself and got the “awards and decs officer” to sign off on them. Officers take care of each other. Everything about this creep makes me sick to my stomach, but without a doubt the biggest reason of all he should never be confirmed as even Sec of the Dog Pound is his flat-out lying about seeing war crimes being committed in Vietnam, and he said he participated in them. The entire Winter Soldier Hearings were proven to be bogus and nothing but a bunch of lying Vietnam-veteran wannabes (and some who had never even been in the service), trying to stir up the anti-war movement. They got their stooge and poster boy in Herman Munster “reporting for duty” Kerry. He also met with the North Vietnamese while we still had men fighting and dying. Benedict Arnold Kerry should have tried for treason years ago.
Roger that. I joined the Navy in ‘67. My dad was a career officer and I think he pulled some strings to keep me away from SEA during my enlistment. I swore an oath then and, as far as I’m concerned, it still applies today. People like the haughty john f’n kerry (and he won’t fail to remind you he was there either. “Jerk” would be an insult to jerks.) are a disgrace and now look. SecState? This is the clown that talked us down and now he’s gonna get that post. Per Steve McQueen at the end of “The Sandpebbles”: “What the hell happened?”
