Reply #23: If the US backs a coup under Kerry, will his rabid supporters excuse him?

[Zhade]

And, speaking of South and Central America, I've got a doozy of a question...

Considering Senator Kerry's role in helping to investigate the Iran-Contra scandal, one would assume that he knows all about the players involved.

So, I'd like an honest answer to this question: when Kerry has the chance to use this acquired knowledge to stop one of the players from gaining a position of influence, why does he not even bother to vote?

I refer, of course, to the utterly disgusting and horrifying Senate confirmation of one John Negroponte, death-squad supporter and figure in the Iran-Contra debacle.

Kerry investigated Iran-Contra, yes?

He knows exactly how Negroponte was involved, yes?

So, why did he not even show up to vote against a man he knows from his own investigations is a criminal and a supporter of death squads?

Anyone care to ante up? Kerry's decision not to oppose Negroponte is wrong, wrong, wrong. And we all know it.
