DeMint Challenges Administration Nominee on Honduras

[usa4norg]

Sen. DeMint is just another right wing politician who wants to keep Honduras as a bannana republic. Just google some of his friends like, the florida US right wing zealot reps, Diaz- Balart brothers. Their father Rafael Diaz- Balart was the congressional majority leader under the Cuban dictator Batista who let the mafia run wild in Cuba as long as they got a kick-back.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Zelaya is the legitimate, elected leader of Honduras and for the right to support the coup that's displaced him is inexcusable and immoral.

[leila2728]

As a Honduran citizen and liberal democrat; I just CAN NOT believe that the republicans of the US are the ones actually getting things right and supporting our ouster of ex-president Zelaya. It astounds me and mesmerizes me. Its sad to see such a great nation being led by such an unintelligent cabinet as the Obama administration: hopefully the democrats will do a better job the next time around in nominating someone with higher and levelheaded reasoning capabilities.

[mo1elftausend]

Its not the republicans that are getting things right.

Demint is one of the few voices ( another is Ron Paul ) who speak out for the Constitution and for the Freedom of other countries.

To a4morales: Thank you Master Demint from a proud Honduran and South Carolinian! How laughable! You really think The Venerable Master DeMint cares about the average Honduran! Just ask him what his position is on immigration reform. But, you are an admirer of William Walker , The Soto Cano airbase, the School of the Americas that trained El Generalito Velasquez. But, Wao, there they are! your masters defending your Concept of Democracy. Now, proud Honduran, kneel, an ORDER! Yes Master.

[introduire]

To Nunezgunner: The one who doesn't know half of the things he says is Mr. DeMint. Mr. DeMint probably learned that Honduras existed a couple of months ago. He's just repeating questions and comments prepared by his staff. Anyway, yeah, express your devotion to your Master DeMint, William Walker Etc. And while you are at it, have a party at the Sovereign Honduran territory of Soto Cano airbase in Palmerola. Also, you can thank to the School of the Americas for having trained Romeo Vasquez

DeMint is an incompetent mouthpiece. This was an obvious coup d'etat. I don't particularly like Zelaya, but he was ousted unconstitutionally, without a trial, at 6 in the morning on his pajamas, by the military and flown out of the country, which violates article 102 of the Honduran Constitution. DeMint should do his homework.

[nunezgunner]

Mr Valenzuela please resign, you dont know half of the things you say.

Thank you Sen. DeMint, we will be forever grateful.

[Coleburg]

My God. What an incompetent mouthpiece.

[Coleburg]

I would have thought that Obama would have a better spin doctor.

[comichiuser]

Mr. Demint is correct, the "ouster act" was after Ccongress voted and the Supreme Court issued the warrants. THIS WAS NOT AN ILEAGAL COUP NOR AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL SUCCESSION OF POWER .

MR. VALENZUELA IF YOU YOURSELF ADMIT THAT YOU DONT KNOW ALL THE DETAILS, THEN WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TAKING A STAND AGAINST US. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU SPEAK SIR.

BECAUSE YOU JUST PROVED YOUR IGNORANCE TO THE MATTER.

[rocky4432901]

DARN STRAIGHT!! GO GET THEM DEMINT!!

[a4morales]

thank you Senator DeMint from a proud Honduran and South Carolinian.

[villegas93]

I think that everybody including USA voted against Honduras because they beleived Zelayas lies and they judge and condemn a country by listening to one side ONLY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE that Zelaya used a Democratic election to become a Dictator its a shame that USA still back him up. Isn´t USA the land of freedom? Please, keep raising your voices to help us defend our freedom. Zelaya had Honduras in a caos, he had totally forgotten its people. PLEASE UNDERSTAND ! WE DONT WANT ZELAYA BACK!!

[MJMH19772008]

Thank You Senator!!!

[HondurasmyLove]

3) You are saying we are wrong just because the entire world is condemning us? is that your back up? How interesting!!! Just remember how EVERYONE condemned and attacked Galileo Galilei. Just remember, Hitler was also democratically elected and NOBODY believed the hideous things he did until too many had died. All we are asking is peace and democracy in our Honduras, dictator free. We do not want communism or socialism or Marxism in our free country.

[HondurasmyLove]

2) Mr. Valenzuela, you say you are an expert on the "Coup" issue in L.A.. Well, I guess you missed to study the Honduran law. The way you speak is disappointing, acussing the victim for self-defense without studying all the evidence.

[HondurasmyLove]

1) Mr. Valenzuela, Did you know there have been more dead people during Zelaya's presidential period than dead people in Irak? Did you know misterious venezuelan planes stopped landing in hidden roads (yes!! roads) since he was outsted? (I remember lights were off during these landings and came back as soon as these planes took off) - No one told me this, I live here. So, Mr. Valenzuela, I recommend you knowing before talking.

[primi1210]

This Valenzuela doesn't know anything, and the 6 in the morning that the military people pick him up the begged for his life and he was getting high . or he was drogging him self...I live in Honduras and we know this for a fact.

[luiss]

Mr Valenzuela has a credibility issue. First he states that this is a classic coup and then later he says that this coup is different. He acknowledges that he doesnt have all the facts and then emphatically states that Mel should be returned because the President says so. This guys is lost in space 100% Typical.

[123454443]

Thank you Senator! You are the voice of 7,000,000 Hondurans citizens.

[rikkilulu]

Thank you Senator!

[Anoners]

"Castro, Ortega, Chavez, our good friend."

That line is as good as GOLD! XD

[eduardium1]

I want to say DeMint for president!

What I hear the guy say is: the Honduran constitution doesn't count, we're following what the rest of the world lead by Chavez, Castro, Ortega, Evo, Correa say.

[Pfranc2]

This Valenzuela dont have a clue of what his talking about.

Well done Senator.

[mndlpz16]

He wanted blood to be spilled in order to appear, once again, as a martyr. New data shows that the majority of people agree with his destitution.

Senator DeMint, you are my hero!! You have an entire nations support!!

[mndlpz16]

Ok, Mr. Valenzuela, I can answer your inquiries. He was immediately removed from office by himself in direct violation of article 239. If you do not know what that is, then SEARCH IT! And he was not kept in Honduras because of his use of mobs. Look at what happened when he tried to come back to honduras last Sunday. He promoted violence, he sacrificed his own people by telling them form a human cord?

[LonleyBoy2k7]

I am a Honduran and I am so grateful of you senator, the people of Honduras thank you with all of our hearts.

You are doing the right thing!

[HondurasmyLove]

God bless you immensely!!! You are a true Hombre Macho, with high moral values, authority and courage. You should run for president. You would have the hispanic vote for sure, 'cause we know all the suffering dictatorships bring and now we can see you are against dictators. You are an Honorable man.

[ChrisCharismaI]

You go Senator ! You keep up the fight ! We've got your back ! I love this guy !

[Realbeagleboy]

The present administration can't properly interpret its own constitution. Don't know why we would expect it to be any different with the constitution of a foreign country.

[mndlpz16]

Mr. Demint you are the best!

[rosaraudales]

I wonder why Mr. Valenzuela is talking about something he himself said is not completely aware. And after Senator DeMint presents the facts; Mr. Valenzuela saids that the rest of the world is calling it a 'coup' what a shallow argument.

[logalogalog]

I know! DeMint sure embarrassed him.

[mjmenjivar]

Senator, thanks, I´m Honduran, and I know justice is with us.

Article 272 of our Constitution talks about the Millitary; It says that they are to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, THE RULE OF LAW.

In millitary they said;

"HONOR STOPS WHEN DUTY BEGINS"

Thanks againg, Honduras is showing the wolrd how to stop today´s form of dictatorships defending the Constitution, ONE DAY THE DEMOCRATIC WORLD WILL RECOGNIZE IT...

[Beuhla76]

This Mr. Valenzuela doesnt have a clue of what he is talking about. Procedures in Honduras are not the same as in the States. That crazy mel didnt let us any chance. Everything we atented to do legally, he turned it upsidedown with the people he payed with the monet chavez gave him. Why are diplomatic procedures more importante than we, the 7millions of citizens of Honduras??? That is nonse! How can the DEA say he is not gulty for drug charges when he really is??? Please, help us!!!

[mvalladares]

Thank you senator!

[danbowski40]

Keep up the fight Mr. Demint!
