61. I have no respect for Kerry

Mon Apr 14, 2014, 09:06 PM

Apr 2014

I have followed his career since Viet Nam - when he threw SOMEONE ELSE'S medals over the WH fence.

He is a caver, a sellout, a quitter. He wants to be important but he is a coward. The onlhy way he can be important is by towing the neocon/neoliberal party line - thereby sending my tax dollars down the military rat hole and selling the Ukrainian people to the neoliberal banksters.

We all know Putin is a cold-blooded gangster. You should wake up to the fact that Kerry is a useless tool. I actually wasted my time campaigning for him - and then he folded in Ohio when he had promised throughout his campaign that he would fight election fraud.
