(This Dec. 3, 2012 file photo shows Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington.) (CNSNews.com) – For the last two years, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the nominee to be the next secretary of state, has called for “immigration equality” to prevent the deportation of illegal alien same-sex partners of legal U.S. residents. In May, shortly after President Barack Obama announced his support for homosexual marriage, Kerry and 16 other Democratic senators sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The letter pointed to...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John Kerry dismissed Republican Mitt Romney as “out of touch at home, out of his depth abroad and out of the mainstream” in a Democratic National convention speech that’s the Democrat’s audition of sorts for secretary of state if President Barack Obama is re-elected. The 2004 presidential nominee praised Obama for ending the war in Iraq, ordering the killing of Osama bin Laden, helping to end Moammar Gadhafi’s regime in Libya and standing with Israel. “Our opponents like to talk about ‘American Exceptionalism.’ But all they do is talk. They forget that we are exceptional not...

Am in DC tonight with old network friends and fiends. The word in DC is that John Kerry is working the media HARD to try to get himself back in headlines. Kerry still wants very much to be Prez. He is promoting the idea that, politically, Obama is a "dead man walking." Kerry claims he can save the Dem party by running in the primaries to the LEFT of Obama.... and be elected in both the primaries and the general! Idiocy... and old political news hands agree!

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) tells Don Imus this morning he thought ht would have been a "good President." In fact, he added, "a great President." Transcript below: DON IMUS: "I think you would have been a much better President than the guy we have now, don't you agree with that?" SEN. JOHN KERRY: "You've asked me that before. Every time I come on you try to get me to --" IMUS: "-- I'm not trying to get you to do anything. I'm trying to get you to be honest." KERRY: "I'm always honest." IMUS: "Well, you would've been a much...

Kerry: I could've been 'great' president By Alicia M.Cohn - 06/29/11 02:33 PM ET Former presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) thinks he could have done a good job leading the country. "I would have been a good president," he said Wednesday on "Imus in the Morning." "Maybe even a great one." Kerry stopped short of agreeing with host Don Imus's assertion that a President Kerry would have been "better than the guy we have now." Kerry, who ran against incumbent George W. Bush in 2004, also touched on the current debt crisis facing the U.S. President Obama is not...

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. This is Sen. John “Liveshot” Kerry, who like all moonbats in Congress has been driven to apoplexy by the proposed continuation of the so-called “Bush tax cuts.” “I hope Americans,” Liveshot harrumphed, “will understand how craven and empty and hollow and contradictory the Republican position is.” At least he didn’t call them gigolos. Everything else Liveshot is, he accused the Republicans of being. Contradictory? Isn’t this the guy who voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it? Wasn’t he against Cape Wind before he was for it, or is it...

Kerry blames himself for flap over yacht taxSaturday, July 31, 2010 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Sen. John Kerry said he always intended to pay taxes in Massachusetts on his $7 million yacht but conceded he mishandled the public furor over his decision to dock the vessel in Rhode Island. “I don’t think I dealt with it fast enough, effectively enough. There’s nobody to blame but myself for that,” the Massachusetts Democrat told The Boston Globe for Friday’s editions. Kerry added that he did nothing legally wrong. Kerry moved to end the controversy this week by saying he would write...

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - There are new details in the controversy over Sen. John Kerry's brand new boat. Kerry may still be on the hook for a half million dollars in excise taxes because he docked his yacht in Massachusetts less than six months after buying it.

This is rich. Or should I say for the rich, whom John Kerry likes to denigrate at every turn. After running on eliminating outsourcing and abolishing tax havens, we have this: "Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State. If the "Isabel" were kept at the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket, or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to...

BOSTON – Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State. If the "Isabel" were kept at the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket, or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes. Rhode Island repealed those taxes in 1993. That has made the state something of a nautical tax haven.

Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I.

(CNSNews.com) – What does Sarah Palin have to do with Tuesday’s U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts? Although she has endorsed Republican Scott Brown, she has not campaigned for him or with him. But Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) brought Palin into the race on Monday, at a news conference where he urged Massachusetts voters to support Democrat Martha Coakley. Kerry urged Brown to stop the “bullying and threats” by his out-of-state supporters. “I'm no stranger to hard fought campaigns, but what we’ve seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah...

Why the long face, John? John Kerry ripped on Republicans during his speech to rally the troops at the Coakley event yesterday. Kerry was one of several top liberals who came to support Coakley in Boston including Bush-bashing truck-bashing President Barack Obama. Here’s JFnK bashing Republicans and whining about the democrat’s disastrous

Kerry Warns of "Dangerous Atmosphere" Around Brown Rallies [Daniel Foster] Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) thinks Scott Brown’s rallies in the Bay State are “reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Sarah Palin’s 2008 campaign rallies,” the Boston Globe is reporting. Kerry says Brown supporters have engaged in “bullying and intimidation tactics” in the past few days and suggests that some of them may even be from out of state (would the senator rather keep the race local?) “I'm no stranger to hard fought campaigns, but what we've seen in the past few days is way over the line and reminiscent...

One Democratic operative suggests keeping track of Barack Obama’s cabinet selections with a March Madness-type tournament chart. While no official announcements have been made, a controlled series of leaks have given a good sense of who's still in contention, and which big names have been bounced from the bracket. The new administration still has some major posts to fill, including heads for the departments of Defense, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Labor, and Energy, not to mention the Environmental Protection Agency. But a number of the biggest prizes seem to have already been won, and a handful of serious contenders...

THE POODLE SPEAKS According to John Kerry, McCain did not choose Tom Ridge or Joe Lieberman as his VP because ... Rush Limbaugh and the rightwing vetoed it. And when it comes to McCain's actual choice, Sarah Palin ... John Kerry says that because Palin doesn't believe in man-made global warming, this puts her back there with the "flat earth caucus." So there you go. If you don't believe in this global warming scam, then you might as well believe that the earth is flat. And this is coming from a man who could have been president of the United...

Looking to get re-elected, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry went on a campaign binge on Saturday night -- at a Nantucket house party full of young chicks. Electoral college girls gone wild! The married 65-year-old hung out with some Bud Light drinking constituents who, we are told, are college sophomores and juniors. We hope John's campaign is ready for the Senator to get tagged in some Facebook photos with ladies drinking through penis straws. No word if John had to kiss any babies.
