The Old Dog Barks

Senator John Kerry is once more being attacked by members of the “Radical Right” for nautical maneuvers performed while in his nations service. Won’t they ever learn? Just get over it!!!

After all with a net worth estimated at a quarter of a billion dollars he is only the 5th richest member of congress, not poor mind you and he is not looking for your pity, but small potatoes in the larger scheme of things. And it was not a scheme to dock his newly purchased yacht in Rhode Island rather than Massachusetts in order to save $500,000 in taxes, merely an easily correctable oversight. Senator Kerry spends so much of his time looking after the public’s affairs he has little left to handle his own.

This “Swift Boat” thing didn’t work last time and is worse than pathetic now. Why just Tuesday The Massachusetts Department of Revenue said it had not launched an investigation into the matter. If they are so unconcerned and so willing to give Kerry a pass on this shouldn’t the nutters on the “Right”? But then that’s why we call them Nutters.

Why it seems logical to me that no matter what Senator Kerry may or may not of intended, the state of Massachusetts, as shown in the recent U.S. vs Arizona case, has no rights whatsoever to enact taxing policies on the High Seas whether they duplicate or are at variance with established Federal law.

Doesn’t the Constitution give authority for law at sea to the Federal Government? Aren’t you “Right Wing Nutters” supposed to be in favor of the Constitution? Give it a break and crawl back into your holes. You lose again!
