Honduras and the Senator

Hello:

Lemme see. When Sean Penn traveled to Iran On June 10, 2005, what did you call him simply for visiting???? In October 2008, Penn traveled to Cuba, where he met with and interviewed President Raśl Castro. What was your reaction to that trip????

Senator Jim Demint of South Carolina is going to Honduras to encourage those who helped fund and support the coup against Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to resist American pressure to return Zelaya to office.

In other words, Jim DeMint is acting on behalf of, in cahoots with, and against the foreign policy of the United States of America in encouraging post-coup Honduran government officials defy the United States. He is encouraging a political leadership which has no legitimacy and which not recognized by other democracies in the region.

What shall we call this senator???? What would YOU call a lefty who did that???? Of course we KNOW what word you would have used. It starts with a T and ends in R. I think it's appropriate in this case, don't you?

Ok, I'm being TOO subtle for some of you knuckle draggers... He's a TRAITOR, plain and simple!!!!

Now lets see ; when Madame Mimi dons a burka to visit our enemies that is the proper role of a legislator .

But ; when Sen. Demint proposes a fact finding mission then Sen Lurch .....who once traveled to strategize with our enemies during a war trys to block it because Demint won't fast track some State Dept appointments.

I get it.

Can't really add anything to what tom said. Game, set, match.

OK I'll try, I probably called Penn an idiot, or a moron, or a pathetic piece of....

Hello again, righty's:

So, I gather from your response, that it's OK to BE a traitor because Pelosi is one too.

I understand. Really, I do.

This was a scheduled trip and was already funded by Congress.

Why did Kerry block the trip?

What doesn't he want Obama foreign policy sychophants like Excon to know?

Could it be that he doesn't want us to be able to verify the fact that the Honduran government DID act within the bounds of their own laws and that Zeleya was indeed attempting a coup?

Could it be that Kerry doesn't want the world to be able to prove that he YET AGAIN threw his support behind a dictator and against democracy, just like the good old days? And that Obama did the same? As did most of the rest of the Dems? Could it be that Kerry is trying to block the American people, including excon, from finding out how the Dems are supporting dictatorships again? That sort of thing could cost them during an election, you know.

No, I'm just more inclined to give a little room for someone trying to get to the bottom of wrongheaded foreign policy toward a Democratic ally than for some bonehead donning a burqa to have a chit chat with a state that sponsors terrorism.

Kerry was exacting revenge for DeMint not allowing a vote on 2 ambassadors. That's all, it was no noble effort on his part to sop him from betraying the country.

Quote:
The statement, issued by Kerry's spokesman, Frederick Jones, added that when DeMint allows a vote on the appointment of the two diplomats, "the Committee will approve his travel to Honduras."
Your drama doesn't fly on this one when the facts become known.

Hello again,

We've all heard the right wing spin on the coup. But, it should be pointed out that in terms of the WORLD, the right wing spin remains just that - a figment in the imaginations of the worlds right wing populace.

ALL of Honduras's neighbors thinks a military coup happened. The WORLD thinks it happened. The only ones who DON'T think it happened are the wingers... The IMF, for crying out loud, still recognizes Zelaya as Honduras president.

----------------------

The International Monetary Fund said Thursday it had consulted its member nations and decided to continue to recognize ousted President Manuel Zelaya as head of state of Honduras.

"In recent weeks, the fund consulted its membership through its executive directors," the IMF said in a brief statement.

"Based on this consultation, IMF management has determined that it will recognize the government of President Zelaya as the government of Honduras."

Zelaya was expelled from office on June 28 in a military coup and the international community has not recognized the de facto government now run by his successor, Roberto Micheletti.

---------------

Ain't nothing more to say about that - cepting to call a traitor, a traitor.

Yes and the whole world thought Saddam had WMD's, too. You didn't believe them then but now you do?
