GOP Senators Speak Up for Democracy in Honduras

[schueaj]

Fascist Yankee Pigs!

[sojoooman]

Thank you GOP.

Honduras is greatful to you.

They kicked that left wing piece of shit out of the country. They should do this to all other lefties.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

That "left wing piece of ####" was the elected leader of the nation, and the military coup ousting him is the TRUE piece of ####. It's not the rule of law, it's the rule of money, that's led to this insane situation.

[Nightlighter44]

Maybe they are looking for another job, as they should not be re-elected here in the states. At the least should be treated as those singers who spoke out when out of the country Dixie Chicks wasn't it//

[marucrespo]

How this republican are supporting a military regimen, and support the military kidnaping of a presidente, and speak in behalf USA ,we have our secretary of State that support the democracy, what he is doing? supporting militars, I know why they lost the eleccion, this man does not have respect for the democracy, he is a friend of extremist in honduras, and this is why he is helping his criminal friend

[mavrek47]

A very bad case of the shits is SMARTER than the GOP Senate & their entire following. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand how they LOST 57 Senate & House Seats over a 2 year period. LOL

R.I.P. GOP! ~Scarah Failin

[papilion]

I just love seeing these pro democracy GOP senators speak for democracy. I just have one question, Where were they when Salvador Allendé was overthrown by butchers defending US interests. Where were they when death squads killed people wonton style. Where were they when the contras were maiming children and nuns and cardinals were being killed ,raped. When South America was almost totally under the hand of military regimes. I guess they were having boy scout meetings at the school of Americas

[Crusader4ever1]

THANKS DeMINT for verifying a true democracy .. Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador UNFORTUNATELY, have already been HIJACKED by Hugo Chavez and his marxist-leninist comunist gov't...as the early steps to this hijacking is tearing apart each respective country's constitution, then nationalizing the largest of mega corporations, banks then attacking the "OLIGARCHIES" THAT IS THE UNIVERSITY SCHOOLED PROFESSIONALS AND WORKING WHITE COLLAR CLASS.  Chavez is following the Cuban style of govt.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

In other words, if the PEOPLE elect someone who puts people ahead of profits, the US should help the military remove them...or, as has happened repeatedly in the past, just kill them.

This is "democracy"??

[american1476]

you dont give a damn about our constitution martinez u voted for sotomayor

[american1476]

usted no eres nada pero un Mooro de mierda you soy hispano yo soy mita Cubano usted eres un morro communista racista.... bete para Arabia comme pinga nosotros nos odian a usted aqui en Miami y en este pais. congratulaciones votaste porun communista que te mueres solo y olbidado y que un dia yo puedo escupir en to cabesa en el semeterio!

rot in hell and good riddance we all hate you here in Miami! and in this country wait till the real right wing tries you for your crimes!

[ereyes28]

I am so glad to see these senators are doing something to bring attention to this issue, Hillery better read that letter they are sending her, the new Honduran president deserves a chance to be heard

[HondurasmyLove]

1) To those who think the issues in Honduras is not their problem, think again and carefully. Chavez is taking possession of Latin American countries, one by one, hes got the means to do it (money), means provided by Venezuelan oil and drugs (FARC). He sponsored Mel Zelayas campaign; He is buying peoples allegiances to protest against democracy and freedom here in Honduras. Hes sponsoring infiltrates to make riots and weaken the country. I know this for a fact, I live here.

[sudacaenny]

You are using the same technique Bush used to invade irak. FEAR. Bush said "iraq has nuclear weapons that they want to give terrorist so they atack USA", and so they went to war and never found nuclear weapons, the war was the stupidest mistake ever!! now you are saying "Chavez wants to invade USA" stop making up stupid arguments and putting fear into peoples minds!!

[HondurasmyLove]

3) Do you think this could never happen to U.S.A.? Think again, Open your eyes. Remember, NOBODY thought the Titanic would sink. Open your eyes and do something NOW, while you still have the chance.

[HondurasmyLove]

2) His biggest ambition is to have ALL Latin American countries under his leftist dictatorship, and then, make his final move U.S.A., Hes already got Iraqs and Russias support. No Honduran citizen understood or believed this when Venezuelan people cried out for their freedom until we faced this horrible assault, until it was our turn to suffer what they once suffered.

[pescadoresdeventanas]

But, why if they speak to the respect from the Constitution, there is a militar base from USa in Honduras wich is againt the constitution from Honuduras ???

[sudacaenny]

If president Zelaya was going against his country`s constitution, then that is something that must be dealt in courts! isn`t that what democracy is all about? otherwise any government can be "removed from office" with the pretext " he/she was going "against constitution".

[sudacaenny]

By his actions he removed himself from office? is this guy retarded or stupid? president Zelaya was removed from office by force. the military assaulted his house at dawn ,he was sleeping and by force took him out the country! cowards! then shut down all tv stations and radios, so nobody knows whats going on. If the US truly defends democracy, then stop defending fake governments and suport the democratically elected president which is Zelaya.

[HondurasmyLove]

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.

[sudacaenny]

yeah yeah whatever, Venezuelans can be landing anywhere, it doesnt matter! nothing justifies removing the president by force!. again all this issues must be dealt and verified in court, because you can bluff whatever you please but at the end you must prove it in courts! that is what democracy is all about, nobody is guilty until proven so in courts. about the dead people in irak again you must prove it in court! you fill your mouths with the words "defend democracy" but know nothing about it.

[katrachosps]

We already proved it, that's why he is out, now you prove his inocence, and doesn't chavez just shot down another 32 stations there? are you Honduran? do you live in Honduras?

[datzfast]

this could happen to Obama, and he was elected but that still the law. you get impeached , if you are found guilty your out. the US military will remove Obama

and fly him to kenya

[DHY2KA]

The liberal Rino party should rather be concerned with the socialist communist leftists that are taking over the USA.

Hint: (look at the democrat party)

[GodSaveOurNation]

I stand with the Hondoran people..and the "Rule of Law"...I've written Cornyn and others to support the Hondoras and it's people...I'm very proud that took the action they did to defend their freedom and Costituion...God Bless Them !! Let Freedom Ring...

Thank you Mr.DeMint and Mr. Cornyn

[TheCatracha23]

Most Hispanics ( Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Hodurans) have given their vote to democrats. I can only speak for myself- I will never vote for the democrats. When did Nicaragua become communist- when Carter was in office. When did Hugo Chavez solidify himself in Venezuela after the coup in which the OEA intervened for his return. DId the OEA help the Venezuelans later? The OEA is a good concept but it only works when its members are fair. Insulza is the biggest joke!

[jameszbn]

Thanks Honduras for taking action in defense of democracy against dictators like Zelaya and Chavez.

[CRG85yeah]

Como oposicion, los republicanos estan tomando una posicion contraria a la del presidente para ganar apoyo de los que no estan de acuerdo con el. No crean por un segundo que a los republicanos les importa Honduras o su bienestar, estan usandolos como una estrategia politica. Claro que les beneficia a los Hondureños esta situacion, cual me alegra, pero no se engañen pensando que lo estan haciendo por alguna razon otra que por beneficiar a su propio partido republicano.

[mglazarus]

Duh, welcome to politics!!

Se te olvido decir que Honduras es un interes GEOpolitico, por sus mares, etc. En vez de desgastarte en pregonar POLITICS 101, preocupate por ver con quien en realidad se enfrentan los GOP: no sera Iran, Rusia, et. al??

[dontavo2]

THE LITTLE COUNTRY THAT COULD! muchas gracias senadores les agradezco desde el fondo de mi corazón por defender la democracia cuando todos nos dan la espalda. MEL ZELAYA ES UN FARSANTE!

[Siut2010]

Engage with Latin America more and American Hispanics will be be more engaged with the GOP.

[austinbeaumont]

Muchas Gracias Senadores por abogar por nosotros.

[sogaze]

thankyou senators!!! may God bless you for taking a stand for out little country!

[ichacantero]

Thank you sirs!!

[elcatratcho]

With 19 years of military service, I salute you Senators for taking a vital interest into the democratic defense of Honduras. I have served in Honduras, and will tell anyone that although a poor country, Hondurans are proud of their young Democracy. No one is above the Constitution We cannot turn our backs on the only central American country, that allow us to maintain a military partnership and a strategically permanent presence there. Thank you. Saludos a los Catratchos, viva la Demogracia!!!

[vampayerLestat]

Thank you Senators for supporting our Constitution and for not turning your back on the Hondurans in this time of crisis. Thank you for rejecting international interference. We deeply appreciate it.

[CaliBeach0007]

Coburn and DeMint are my favorites in the Senate. I wish, too, that Martinez would run again. He's a great senator. Regardless, thanks for standing up for democracy, senators.

[SuperEgomaniac]

Thank you again Senators...I have sent so many letters out trying to bring forward the facts. Thank you for not turning your backs on us.

[miguelyuja]

To: Senators Jim DeMint (R-SC), Mel Martinez (R-Florida), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) hold a press conference to support the people of Honduras against the actions of Manuel Zelaya...

Thank you Republican senators! Words can not express what this means to the Honduran people who have been wrongly judged for trying to defend their democracy.

I also thanks The Honduras delegation for pleats the case, the facts is the Zelaya is TREATING our country.

Thank you a lot!

[nunezgunner]

I also rooted for Obama, probably because CNN always talked nice about him. Now that I know CNN lies, and what party is really helping the world. I would Like to thank the Republican Party, I can see you are very patriotic, you have gained my respect. From Honduras, Viva Honduras!

[HondurasmyLove]

God bless you senators, God blesses your lives and your families, for standing by the truth and defend those who are being punished for defending their country against a dangerous criminal dictator. Hondurans love you.

[alexhonduras]

We are very thankful with your initiative and we all hope for the best! Mr. Obama gained my symphathy during the electoral process, but it now seems clear to all of us that the Republicans are the people that really care about our problems and those who really believe that democracy, sovereignty, and most importantly freedom must prevail in our countries. Thanks once again, and keep up the excellent work!

[sebas98130418]

Thank You very much!! you have no idea how much you are helping our democracy ! it is totally fair! you guys are priceless to your country

[TheCatracha23]

Thank you republican senators! Words can not express what this means to the Honduran people who have been wrongly judged for trying to defend their democracy. I was born in Honduras and lived there for 20 years and another 18 in America. I deeply love both nations and in both I can say "Nobody can not take away our liberty". I plead the support of the American people because they truly know the definition of freedom. Put yourselves in the Hondurans shoes. What would you do to protect freedom.

[florescomayagua]

Thanks Senators, from the bottom of my heart. All we are asking is democracy and peace.

[robpatozz]

Senator DeMint - Straighten out your colleagues, please. Democracy?! Get a clue! These guys do not belong in Washington!! Our founders loathed DEMOCRACY!!! It is Mob rule! And It is exactly what we have now. A once proud and free republic that was manipulated into a democracy, now we are a Socialist Oligarchy on the verge of becoming a communist dictatorship controlled by the international bankers. Support the Constitution, OURS!!!

[jaibabravah]

This people really know about democracy!! not like OEA and UN. Thank You. I will take this in consideration for my next elections.

[laicoshn]

Thank Senator DeMint for your concern about the truth in Honduras my country. Al last somebody wants for hear about the real fact. Thank you a lot!

[2bmace]

The Honduran's abroad urge all parties involved to resolve the differences peacefully in full respect of the country's legal framework and to promptly engage in a dialogue in the interest peace and stability in Honduras

[tego1988]

The Republicans are more concern about Latin America then the democrats and what lost the Latino vote in the Republicans was Bush fail immigration system...

[Stronnation]

Republicans support Honduras democracy.

Democrats suck! no more Hispanic votes for democrats. They don't want our people to be free. They want Chavez to take over Latin America.

[nicanorpe]

Honduras' Democracy and constitution are more important than a temporary president, Zelaya is a very very cheating person, who betrayed his principles.

[abelerazo]

Thanks Senators, you are supporting the right side, the side of the truth and democracy. Thanks for your support to Honduras Democracy.

[MartaC406]

Very well appreciated Senators!

"The truth will prevail and its eccho will resonate around the world. Then, Honduras and its people will be recognized as peaceful country, who respect its Constitution"

[wingsofeagle1]

buen trabajo SEN TOM COBURN.. TAHNKS SO MSSS..

GOD BLESS YOU .. ALL OF YOU.

[gothgod]

Is this ironic or what- & a bit of hypocrisy on the part of Republicans who defended George Bush's trampling on the US constitution while out right lying to Congress, & to the American people & the UN for taking America into an unjustified unnecessary war in Iraq. Bush & Cheney tore up the Bill of Rights & contravened international Law ie renditions ,ignoring Hepeas Corpus & torturing & abusing thousands of Iraqi & Afghan citizens to terrorize them & obtain false confessions.

[gettinoutadodge]

Dont' drop the ball! Honduras needs our support!

[ccoto580]

GOOD

[shesapainter]

A foreign policy of intervention is wrong. Why are we occupying 130 countries? We cannot afford it. Democracy is mob rule. We are a democratic republic. Get it right!

[Ncturnal]

A-effin-men!! Our country is living proof that democracy sucks!
