Kerry is in bed with 'Big Oil' and 'Big Tobacco'!!!!!!!!

[xxxxxJohnGaltxxxxx]

"Back when federal lawmakers legally could be paid for speaking to outside groups, John Kerry collected more than $120,000 in fees from interests as diverse as big oil, tobacco, the liquor lobby and unions," the Associated Press reports. "Between 1985 and 1990, Kerry's first five years in the Senate from Massachusetts, he pocketed annual amounts for speaking fees set by Congress. Unlike many colleagues, he donated a speaking fee to charity only once."


...glad he's taking the 'special interests' out of Washington.

The owners of Big Oil and Big Tobacco are Americans too. They have important issues that need to be addressed by their elected officials. Take your bleeding heart liberal whining elsewhere. It isn't welcome here.

I agree with you, except for the name calling. I think lobbyist provide a public service, but I was pointing out the double-standards for Hanoi John...sorry that went over your head. Please feel free to call me more names, as I am calling it a day...

don't see that much

We don't yet know how much our current administration is in the pocket of big oil (but it's undeniable that most of them have backgrounds in the big oil business). Cheney's been ignoring the court orders to tell us who he consulted with on the energy bill. I think secretive behavior of that nature is indicative of a problem of a much larger magnitude than Galt is accusing Kerry of being capable of. Besides we all know all politicians are in somebody's pocket. Nothing new.

He could receive money from every special interest in Washington...my point, which went over your head too, is that he speaks out of both sides of his mouth...the big "H"

All politicians are in bed with one special interest group or another, usually with corporate backing. And your point is...?

Sure, but there are already threads about that...were there any threads about Kerry and his ties to big oil prior to this one? You see the difference? Or, instead, did you just see another one of my threads and decide to take a sh*t in it like usual...at least you did away with the name calling. Thanks.
