John Kerry
In reply to the discussion: Treaty to expand disability rights overseas is threatened in Senate, frustrating Senator John Kerry [View all]politicasista
(14,128 posts)20. It is not idiotic when Dems who have nothing but positive praise
for Obama/Biden, and other Democrats, Liberals are maligning Senator Kerry aka the future SOS.
Not downplaying the treaty or anything. That was an accomplishment. However, McCain and the GOP have proven to be toxic and only hurting, not helping the Senator among Democrats.
It may not be a big deal here anymore, but we can look the other way or realize that it is an issue that needs to be address.
Obama doesn't need this, nor does Biden. And Senator Kerry doesn't deserve that kind of hatred from O's base.

Somethings should trump politics and this was one. I can't help but view those no votes as heartless

Incredibly, somehow John Stewart seems to think that Kerry was unfair to little Johnnie!

Exactly how would he get the 67 votes needed for the treaty with no Republicans?
