Kerry has been a huge disappointment. Don't know why you are defending him so fiercely.
What is your relationship to him?

This essay from KOS puts it well . .

Kerry sold out.

And by the way, if you think Kerry has done such a bang-up job, then BOTH OF YOU should take in at least one Iraqi refugee family.

BTW, my family took in exchange students from poorer countries for 15 years, so it's not like I'm asking you to do anything unreasonable.

Before you get any respect or answers from me, you'll need to defend or withdraw your earlier dumb assertions.
