    Hey, was that linked to in your story? No, it was not.

    Provide a reference if you want me to know what you're talking about - I'm not a freaking mind reader.

    Just because you've read something doesn't mean everyone else has read the same thing. Just provide a reference and don't be so condescendingly nasty about it.

    You have come across as a Kerry authority in the past.

    Sorry, I assumed you already knew of Kerry's illegal activities and didn't want to acknowledge them, as usual.

    Only to the most undiscerning.

    As usual? My, my aren't we full of slurs today?

    Allegations, slurs and insults - but no references. Are we pulling chains again?

    Within weeks of taking office in 1985, he was off to Nicaragua, accompanied by reporters on a 36-hour, self-appointed fact-finding mission with another freshman, Democratic Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. Congressional Democrats had accused the White House of exaggerating the communist threat posed by the Sandinista regime. So the two senators were publicly castigated when -- just days after meeting with Daniel Ortega and other leaders of the regime -- the Sandinistas climbed aboard a plane to Moscow to cement their Soviet ties.

    After Kerry met with Ortega, he returned to Washington waving a promise from Ortega that the Communist leader would moderate his policies. "We believe this is a wonderful opening for a peaceful settlement without having to militarize the region," Kerry said. "The real issue is: Is this administration going to overthrow the government of the Sandinistas no matter what they do? This opportunity puts this to the test." The normally cautious Secretary of State George Shultz was so flabbergasted by Kerry's shilling for Ortega that he denounced Kerry publicly for "dealing with the communists" and letting himself be "used" by Ortega.

    Kerry's diplomacy blew up in his face. As Kerry was reassuring his colleagues that Ortega wouldn't establish Soviet and Cuban bases in Nicaragua, Ortega (a few days after he met with Kerry) was flying to Moscow to arrange a $200 million transfer of Soviet monies to Nicaragua.
