On Obama/Kerry bashing here. ...

Well.
Hillary Clinton distaces herself from Président in order to run. So now we see regular bashing on him now here. Even on what he did good like economic rerising up and Obamacare.
John Kerry asks for delaying CIA torture report in order only to not hurt the Iran nuke negociations. I see people labelling him a "sell out" etc.
Meanwhile the very same people seems always enrhusiast in givin free passes to both Clintons for:
Having protected Bush 1 crooks from suing over Iran Contra when Bill served as president
Hillary Clinton being openly loved by BFFE.
Her pro war and WS stances....

Where is the logic here?

Oh I forgot. It is summed into two things. The good name recognition and popularity.

Hillary Clinton’s Biggest Threat Isn’t a Republican — It’s Elizabeth Warren

A revealing stumble: A few days before the midterm elections, Warren and Clinton spoke at a rally to support Martha Coakley's bid for Massachusetts governor. Coakley lost, but the rally is interesting for other reasons.

Warren spoke first and hardly mentioned Clinton, according to Politico. In Clinton's remarks, she went to great lengths to embrace Warren and sounded an unusually populist note throughout her speech and made a striking remark for someone angling for the White House: "Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs."

I'm still waiting to hear Liz explain how the fuck an economist could have supported Reaganomics for years, why she was in an anti choice party that used horrible racist rhetoric and was stridently anti gay. The last time I voted for a Clinton, she was voting for a Bush. A Bush. The woman watched thousands of Americans die from AIDS, saw her President do nothing about it and then voted for him again.
So when she is willing to stand up like an adult and claim her past let me know.

A post bashing Hillary and Bill, WTH? Bush Sr was president after the Uran-contra, where does he stand on giving a pass to the crooks, yes he was a part of it.
Except for seeing trash post where do you get Hillary is running away from Obama, they both have great respect for each other and perhaps different ideas on certain subjects but this is a far cry from running away from Obama. Why can't she have her own ideas of where she may want to lead, he got health care, she needs to move on to other issues.

7. The Muslims already know we are torturing them, they are the victims.

I criticized Kerry because there NEVER will be a "good time," to release the torture report. Because, when we see what they've really done, we are going to call for prosecutions.

The torture report will not affect negotiations at all seeing as the fact that we do torture just puts us up there with global bigshots of capital punishment and torture such as, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Israel.

The scared patriots need to be transported to the Hague to a nice cozy cell where they will not be scared anymore and cannot commit anymore crimes against humanity.
