| In popular wisdom, one-time presidential runner-up Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is likely to be nominated by President Barack Obama for Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State. But if Kerry does get the nod, a group credited with helping to thwart his presidential bid could re-organize to take him down once again. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group formed of military veterans who served alongside Kerry, worked to bring attention to the senator’s anti-war activities following his military service and to raise doubts about the truth of Kerry’s own accounts of his conduct

The Swift boat veterans were not about politics but truth. One would think men that value honor above base politics would be willing to address Jon Carey´s past and immune to the usual Kneepad media´s vitriol.

Thank goodness for the Swift Boat Vets...they just don´t give up. What a great bunch of guys. To say they don´t think much of John Kerry would be an understatement.
Oh! John, we are still waiting to see that DD 201 File you promised to show us. Do you have it yet?

So tell me people, who would you rather see Obama use a SoS?
He is a far cry better than Susan Rice.
Also it would get Lurch out of the Senate. That might be useful. There can´t be too many more candidates like Elizabeth Warren to fill the spot.
US foreign policy is going to be bad with Obama regardless. Kerry at least doesn´t shot his mouth off.

Kerry doesn´t shoot his mouth off? What about if you don´t go to college, you wind up "stuck in Iraq?" What about his false testimony about soldiers performing atrocities "reminiscent of ´Jenjis´ Khan?" I don´t care if it was a long time ago; he never disavowed that testimony.

There´s a lot to not like about Kerry but compared to the average thugs Obama has in his network,Kerry seems reasonable. I think the swift vets were against Kerry for the Pentagon,not sure about SoS but I have a suspicion he´ll sail through anyway.

John Kerry is a disgrace to both the Senate and if it were possible Massachusetts. IMHO anyone who believes he will be "better" than Clinton doesn´t know Kerry´s record. He testified before Congress about Vietnam, with lies about "winter soldier", making life even more miserable for POW´s and OUR Military while he polished his THREE Purple Hearts for a total of less than 10 weeks in Vietnam. He should have been tried AS a traitor. That´s who Kerry is. He is certainly NOT simply a harmless dunce residing in a mansion paid for by his wife´s long-dead Republican husband. He would be a danger to this Country. Good Grief!

In the world of ´real politik´ this is probably a done deal. The Senate won´t object to Mr. Kerry´s lies for he is a member of the club. I wish the Swiftee´s all the good fortune available this Christmas Season, but the only impediment to Mr. Kerry is the Senate, and we know what their ethics are like.

"Gigolo traitor" sums it up nicely. The people of Massachusetts should be ashamed of themselves for thrusting this weasel on the American people. I hope the swifties run thousands of ads with video clips of his testimony and throwing his medals. Throw in a few hanoi jane photos for association. Too many voters are not old enough to remember those times.

These past few days have been kind of like a Class Reunion: first, Ms. Clinton´s hair story got all the fun nicknames going again- PIAPS, PETUIATE, Monica´s Boyfriends´ Wife, Cankles, etc., etc. -now today, with the Susan Rice withdrawal, we get to hear all the vintage Kerry stuff- Jenjhis John, Monsewer Jean-Fraud Cair-ree, Lurch, Horseface, etc. Kind of relieves the post -election funk, putting the old sportsman back in a good mood. Looking forward to getting back in the fray. First to last, a chance to gloat is all we ask.

As a proud Vietnam vet (survivor), I´ll contribute (again) to any Swiftboat campaign. Kerry is lying traitor and sefl-aggrandizing SOB. He was no ´hero´ but all pretense. I know of no other junior officer who took a movie camera to ´Nam to film his "exploits." Those of us who were smeared by his libels also know that the only guys who got to leave before their year was up were either very seriously wounded, or in a transfer case with a toe tag. Dishonest and a phony, Kerry would make a terrible representative for our nation to the world.

If you want The Haughty, French-Looking John Kerry to get bloodied during his confirmation as Sec State, you´ll need to look outside his buddies in the Senate for it. McCain and Graham will roll over and show their bellies immediately. So the Swifties are the ONLY group that will provide insight and ask questions about this "90 day Wonder" and his shameful, self-promoting, yet cowardly performance as a "soldier".

Given the dims´ bench you always have to ask yourself which of the evils is Mr. or Ms. Lesser. With Rice vs. Kerry: which do you prefer, a liar or a traitor? The choices are likely to be so appalling that people will begin to miss the PIAPS.

He has NO right to represent America. Kerry has he is own shrine in the Viet Nam Museum. My spouse died of Viet Nam related illness. NO Kerry.

I, for one, will never forget nor forgive the horse-faced, gigolo, wannabe elitist who put himself in for numerous fictitious awards and then utilized them to "game" his Vietnam Tour from 12 months down to 3.
As if that were not enough to never be allowed to show his face again in this country, he opportunistically joined Jane Fonda and the "Vietnam Vets Against The WAR" to falsely claim before Congress that American troops were raping, murdering, looting, etc. to ingratiate himself with the scum who he then embraced as his political base. When the Officers with whom he briefly served in Vietnam rose up as a group to denounce Kerry as "Unfit to Command," the media bent over backwards to denounce them as "Swift boating" and as being without merit. Thank God for those Swift Boat leaders! Without them Kerry and his partner, the now disgraced John Edwards, would have very likely been elected. Count me among those who will shout from the roof top that John Kerry is a Knave and a Fool!

Only difference I can see between Rice and Kerry, is that Kerry has learned the subtle art of the quiet backstab as opposed to Rice and her ´flipping the bird´ out in the open. I am convinced that when Kerry and McCain went to VN back in the middle 90´s they nailed the coffin shut on finding out if there are any more of our pow´s still there.
John Kerry is an unjailed traitor to this country. If the voters of MA are too ignorant to not see through him, that is their problem, not mine. I am all for the Swift Boaters taking this guy on again.

There is no one in the Democrat stable that is honest or trustworthy. Not one. So in the long run it doesn´t make any difference who Obama nominates. They are all Communists and this is exactly what has been planned for decades. Will the Swift Boaters show up for this fight? I certainly hope so. One of our friends who fought in Nam is pretty discouraged at every thing that has happened. He said he fought the Commies in Nam when he was young, but he never thought he would have to still be fighting them at age 70. Yeah, me either, but it is what it is. They´re here and now they are clear and it´s time to stop them before it´s too late.

Democrats have a real knack for putting their most unworthy, ill-suited, damaged goods up on pedestals. Those Democrats get away with doing so primarily because their loyal, lapdog media enthusiastically morph into their corrupt “invent, omit and distort” modes. Hence John Kerry, Barack Obama and the most popular, beloved, idolized Democrat of all… Bill “Kiss it!” Clinton.
How fortunate we are to have the courageous Swift Boat Veterans to expose the truth about Kerry. If called upon, may they do it once again!

I guess he appreciates kerry so much as kerry also dumped a first wife and picked a richer trophy wife. kerry betrayed our Country, called my brother, two nephews and other U. S.ServicePersonnel,murderers,rapists,wanton killers and more while kissing up to the viet cong.

I will only hope that if the escapee from "The Adams Family" gets the nod for SecState from Odumbo that the SBVs help take him out. Kerry is nothing but a traitorous turncoat who uses people to get ahead. He used Vietnam vets to start his career in politics. Heck the only reason that this oaf is the 2nd richest member of congress is because he married 2 rich women. One of those women is a left wing pinko but whatever.

WASHINGTON — Schoolchildren from New Jersey shore communities battered by Superstorm Sandy will join Michelle Obama for a garden harvest next week. The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

TRENTON — President Barack Obama will return to New Jersey on Tuesday to survey Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts with Gov. Chris Christie, according to a statement obtained by The Star-Ledger. The visit will mark Obama´s second trip to the shore since the storm hit about six months ago. “As residents and businesses prepare for a busy summer season, President Obama will visit the Jersey Shore with Governor Christie on Tuesday to view the ongoing recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy devastated areas of the coastline last fall," the White House statement says.

There have been a number of new revelations this week in the ever expanding scope of the IRS scandal. However, even with so many developments in the investigation of this egregious scandal, there was extremely limited coverage of the unfolding of this affair in the morning news of many more liberal stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS. In contrast, Fox News devoted almost 15 minutes in their programming on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends show to enlighten the public of all of the new information in the scandal.

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with ´no large-scale attacks´ on America occurring since then. But his definition of ´large-scale attacks,´ his speech made clear, doesn´t include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30. All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Another major political speech, another Code Pink heckling. During President Obama‘s counterterrorism policy speech at National Defense University on Thursday afternoon, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted when the topic turned to the closing of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. “I’m about to address it, ma’am,” Obama said as Benjamin went off about the hunger strike currently taking hold amongst Gitmo detainees. “Why don’t you sit down? But you’ve got to let me speak.” “You are commander-in-chief! You can close Gitmo today!”

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Thursday announced new restraints on targeted killings and narrowed the scope of the long struggle with terrorists as part of a transition to a day he envisions when the nation will no longer be on the war footing it has been on since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In a widely anticipated speech at the National Defense University, Mr. Obama offered his most expansive defense of the drone war he has waged since taking office, but he signaled that he planned to wind down the strikes, which have stirred controversy

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state
