A friend's opinion of Sen. Kerry
« on: July 04, 2004, 08:16:44 AM »
We had lunch yesterday with some friends and we were discussing who to vote for.

Some people were leaning towards President Bush and others were leaning towards Sen. Kerry.

One girl had been married for some time to Ramon Milian Rodriguez.  Milian Rodriguez was an acquaintance of mine who is serving a 43 year sentence.  Milian Rodriguez was the Chief Accountant responsible for laundering drug profits for then Panamanian Dictator Manuel Noriega and the Colombian drug cartels.

While I condemn his actions and feel that he is paying the price he needs to pay, the following story struck me as interesting.

In 1986 (when he was already in trouble with the Federal gov't.) Milian Rodriguez was offered a plea bargain deal by Sen. Kerry in exchange for his co-operation testimony before Sen. Kerry's commitee.  I did a google on his name and what his ex wife says seems to be verifiable.  Milian Rodriguez did indeed testify, his testimony was used by Sen. Kerry's commision against President Reagan and Oliver North during the Iran-Contra hearings.  His testimony was also the impetus for the invasion of Panama.

According to Milian Rodriguez' ex wife upon the completion of his testimony Sen. Kerry abandoned Milian Rodriguez and would not honor his commitments.  She denounces Mr. Kerry to be a liar and a man totally without honor.

Just curious is this statement meant to defend Kerry's actions?

Well, if Bush went back on his word to capture OBL, I wouldn't hold it against him.

How did Kerry capture anybody by breaking his commitment to a man who had allready given him all the information?

Grun: the Chief Accountant responsible for laundering drug profits for then Panamanian Dictator Manuel Noriega and the Colombian drug cartels.

Don't even try and pretend like you'd still be shedding tears over this guy if it involved anyone else but Kerry.

Why do you even bother?

I'm just amazed that some people actually think Kerry would make a good President. What do people see in Kerry? what does Kerry offer America?

It has nothing to do with this accountant guy - he had no control over the fact that Kerry broke his deal commitment after the guy spilled the beans.


And you know that.

So yea, why do you bother?
