Senate Overwhelmingly Confirms John Kerry as Secretary of State

" Is John "Traitor" Kerry’s appointment really a surprise to anyone? I don’t think so.A stab in the back to every American Soldier. We have traitors and communists leading this nation now. Great. Now Herman Munster as Secretary of State. Actually, with Barry Hussein as President, John "Traitor" Kerry, “Vietnam Hero”, Jane Fonda sidekick and former fake antiwar protester makes a fine choice for the job at State. If John "Traitor" Kerry had a daughter, she would look like Jane Fonda. He’s a pompous empty suit with a talent for marrying rich, lonely women. Perfect. Disgusting. It's seems as if Hussein has a list called "STICK IT TO ‘EM". Methodically he is checking off one insult after another. He’s killed our Ambassador; He’s attacked the reputation of our Military, he’s divided our Nation, he’s wrecked our economy and that was just his first term. This time, the Anti Christ is going to work on demoralizing us. That SOB who was a traitor in the Viet Nam war would have, at any other time in our history, been shot at sunrise for being a traitor, gets a free ride, gets elected to the senate, marries rich old broads until he’s wealthy now, hides his yacht in Ct. to avoid taxes, and lied about his medals of honor; This piece of filth hates America and the freedom's we love so much. He is just another libtard freak who worships money. He picked John Edwards as his running mate and we all know who John Edwards turned out to be. OF all the American Patriots in this country, of all those who have wonderful knowledge of our history, understands our people, our goals, and believe in our Constitution and rule of law, he is the last person to have ever been chosen as Sec. of State. Maybe make that idiot, that sad-sack sell-out of our military an Ambassador to Cuba or something. But SEC of STATE? I swear they are going out of their way to make us angry. Voting against Kerry were three Republicans – Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma and John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas. As far as I’m concerned the rest can go to Hell ! Well, that about rounds out a completely moronic, socialist, anti-American administration; just like Hussein wanted." MC

The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Barack Obama’s choice of five-term Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state, with Republicans and Democrats praising him as the ideal successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The vote Tuesday was 94-3. One senator – Kerry – voted present and accepted congratulations from

colleagues on the Senate floor. The roll call came just hours after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the man who has led the panel for the past four years.

Kerry could be sworn in as early as Wednesday. A welcoming ceremony is planned at the State Department on Monday.

Obama tapped Kerry, 69, the son of a diplomat, decorated Vietnam veteran and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, to succeed Clinton, who is stepping down after four years. The Massachusetts Democrat, who had pined for the job but was passed over in 2009, has served as Obama’s unofficial envoy, smoothing fractious ties with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“Sen. Kerry will need no introduction to the world’s political and military leaders and will begin Day One fully conversant not only with the intricacies of U.S. foreign policy, but able to act on a multitude of international stages,” said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who will succeed Kerry as committee chairman.

 Voting against Kerry were three Republicans – Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma and John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas. Absent from the vote were Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and John Hoeven, R-N.D.
