Rice out...

8. That is all the fault of the White House, not Kerry.

If the pundits you mention want to blame someone they need to put that at the doorstep of the President who failed to step in and nominate Rice. He didn't do that, and she was left on her own for WEEKS.

Also this forum supports Kerry. Quoting you:

Sorry Senator, but this has not played out very well -- a talented woman was bullied out of a job by GOP thugs like McCain (which some Obama supporters are mad at you and are now linking you to him and Graham).

People like Donna Brazille, Roland Martin, and others are furious over the GOP/good ole boy witch hunt of Rice and if Kerry is nominated, he won't be seen as a respected person, FP diplomat, but the enemy of some Dems, liberals, etc that denied a Rhodes Scholar, and AA woman her chance on a national stage.

What I put in bold is an absolute smear of the Senator, and has no place in this forum. If you are on forums where people are saying this, you need to fight back HARD.

The only real criticism I have seen from the Left is that JK leaving his seat might lead to Brown getting the seat. Beyond that is an assault on the good character of the Senior Senator from Massachusetts. I am sorry you are disappointed with how this went down against Rice, but that has nothing to do with Kerry. He was supportive throughout.

Edit to add: I see you removed the smear line while I was posting. I don't understand why you wrote it in the first place. Kerry would never, ever, ever join a GOP witch hunt against a fellow Democrat. You have to know this.
