Kerry is a slimeball, and just says what he thinks will get the most
votes.
What special interests does he represent?

Berger said, "John Kerry has been amazingly consistent from the
beginning on Iraq and he has been consistently right on the need for
troops" and other issues.
But in the past eight months, Kerry has reversed his position on
sending more American troops to Iraq.
In an April 30 Fulton, Mo., speech Kerry said that if U.S. commanders
in Iraq need more troops then "they should get them."
Yet last September in a debate with other Democratic contenders in
Albuquerque, N.M, Kerry emphatically opposed sending more American
troops to Iraq. "We should not send more American troops," he said on
Sept 4. "That would be the worst thing. We do not want to have more
Americanization, we do not want a greater sense of American
occupation."
In his speech Thursday, Kerry said, "On my first day in office, I will
send a message to every man and woman in our armed forces: This
commander-in-chief will ensure that you are the best-led,
best-equipped and most respected fighting force in the world. ... But
you will never be sent into harm's way without enough troops for the
task," a reference to U.S. troops levels in Iraq.
Kerry's keeping open the option of sending more American troops to
Iraq puts him directly at odds with elements in Democratic Party ranks
and outside the party who want to set a date for a U.S. pullout from
Iraq.

Soldier Fund, Which Raised Over $700,000. (Federal Election

KERRY’S “PAC-FREE” SENATE CAMPAIGN CLAIMS FALSE
Contrary To Candidate Kerry’s Claims, “The Public Record Shows
That Kerry Was Neither The First Nor The Only” Senator Elected
Three Times Without PAC Money. “As a presidential candidate,
John F. Kerry has repeatedly railed against the corruptive
influence of special-interest money in politics, and has proudly
declared on various occasions that he is the only or first person
elected to the US Senate three times without taking campaign
contributions from political action committees. ... But the
public record shows that Kerry was neither the first nor the only
senator elected three times without money from political action
committees. ... David L. Boren appears to be the first person
elected three times to the Senate without PAC money, in 1978,
1984, and 1990.” (Glen Johnson, “Doubt Cast On Kerry’s
‘PAC-Free’ Claim,” The Boston Globe, 6/12/03)
KERRY RAISED THOUSANDS IN
PAC MONEY IN ‘72 AND ‘82 CAMPAIGNS
Kerry Does: Now Admits He Took PAC Money In 1972 House Bid And
1982 Lt. Governor’s Race. “Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter
confirmed Kerry took the PAC money in 1972, and another small
amount in 1982 when he ran for Massachusetts lieutenant governor,
before abandoning such donations starting with his 1984 run for
the Senate.” (John Solomon and Aparna H. Kumar, “Kerry Pocketed
Speaking Fees,” The Associated Press, 2/9/04)
ü Kerry Does: In 1972, Kerry Accepted Nearly $20,000 In PAC
Contributions. “[R]ecords from his unsuccessful race for the
House in 1972 show Kerry collected about $20,000 from PACs, most
of them associated with labor unions. For instance, the
AFL-CIO’s PAC gave him $3,000, and the railway clerks’,
autoworkers’ and state, county and municipal workers’ PACs
donated $500 apiece.” (John Solomon and Aparna H. Kumar, “Kerry
Pocketed Speaking Fees,” The Associated Press, 2/9/04)
Kerry Says: “The only money I’ve accepted is money from
individual Americans.” (John Kerry, Democrat Presidential
Candidates Debate, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2/15/04)
KERRY RAISED NEARLY $500,000 FROM
COMPANIES AND UNIONS IN 2002!
Kerry Does: Kerry Soft Money Committee Collected “More Than
$470,000 Directly From Companies And Unions In 2002.” (John
Solomon, “Kerry, Edwards Boasts About Special Interest Money
Don’t Tell Whole Story,” The Associated Press, 2/2/04)
Kerry Does: Top Corporate Contributions To Kerry’s Soft Money
Committee Include: American International Group $30,000; Jay
Cashman Inc. $25,000; Jennings Road Management Corp. $20,000;
Ameriquest Capital Corp. $18,000; AT&T $17,500; Waters & Kraus

Internet Companies With “Direct Interest” In Kerry’s Work On
Senate Commerce Committee. (John Solomon, “Kerry, Edwards Boasts
About Special Interest Money Don’t Tell Whole Story,” The
Associated Press, 2/2/04)
Kerry Says: “And 1% of it [campaign contributions],
approximately, in my entire lifetime has come from anybody who’s
ever lobbied for anybody.” (John Kerry, Democrat Presidential
Candidates Debate, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2/15/04)
KERRY TOOK MORE FROM LOBBYISTS THAN
ANY SENATOR OVER LAST 15 YEARS!
Kerry Does: “Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) … Has Raised More
Money From Paid Lobbyists Than Any Other Senator Over The Past 15
Years, Federal Records Show. Kerry … Has Received Nearly
$640,000 From Lobbyists, Many Representing Telecommunications And
Financial Companies With Business Before His Committee …” (Jim

DEMOCRAT DEBATE WATCH

G.W. Bush may be an indication of the type of intelligent leadership we get
as a result of the shrinking gene pool (rather puddle) within the American
social and political elite. The dynasty builders.
Kerry, shown in this post to be clearly deficient in his own ways, is
another indication that our Eastern Elite, as in Yale, Skull and Bones, the
growing Corporate State, is just no longer able to offer quality leadership
for the difficult challenges we face in the future.
Now, as to the title of this thread................ If these grand people
want to reinstate the draft let's do it. Let's have Barbara and Jenna Bush
along with John Kerry's daughter and his step-son, Mr. Heinz, be the first
pulled out of their wealthy, comfortable and privileged lifestyles and be
sent to Iraq to sleep in a hole in the desert.
