Reply #33: So, I assume you were there to tell him: [View All]

- to oppose the paranoid Nixon known for his enemies list

- to investigate whether the Reagan was funding the Contra - against the Boland amendment - by allowing gun running and bringing cocaine into this country. Kerry was the only Senator willing to investigate. It was true - and I assume it destoyed many lives here and in Central America

- To continute investigating BCCI, the corrupt terrorist bank that bought off enough people in the Democratic and Republican party that they thought they would never be investigated. Kerry ignored Jackie Onassis and Jimmy Carter asking him to stop as "friends" could be hurt. Is this political?

I think that with any leader we need to keep informed. In fact, I think that Democrats as a whole blew it when they accepted in the Clinton years things they would have protested with a Republican in power. I do think that based on his stated values, John Kerry would run a more open administration than others and I do trust that he would be honest - because he genuinely seems to not lie - even when it would help him.
