John Kerry:

Over his Senate career, has recieved the most lobbyist money of all Senators- $600,000+
The richest Senator with an annual income of up to $77,000,000 and a net worth of $839,000,000 (as of 2002).

John Kerry, over his 19yr Senate career has partially authored 3 minor bills. Wow!
John Kerry Voted for NAFTA and the WTO, now he says he'll fix them. Walmart has made $$ billions from these deals... in 2002, John Kerry purchased more than $1,000,000 of Walmart stock.
Note this oddity... the (apparently standard) IRS form is broken down into ranges, $15,000 - 50,000, $50,001 - 100,000, etc. But there is an odd column with no range... just $1,000,000+ !!! (***, I couldn't find footnote- page 17, 13mb pdf)... so Mr. Kerry could own $1 million or $50 million worth of Walmart stock and we'll never know. How convenient.

Now this career politician is telling you he will take on the special interests, that he himself is invested in and has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from. Kerry, is a mega-multi-millionaire that voted for the war, for the patriot act (hey don't blame him he was fooled- not his fault), will continue the occupation, and will continue to directly profit from the unjust trade policies that he voted for... and we're supposed to trust him on his word?

Fortunately, Kerry gave us a shining example of 'his word' in Oct of 2002 when he spoke for 45 min voicing his support for the war, Kerry said he'd be the first to speak up if Bush didn't go thru the UN. Remeber Colin Powell's presentation... and Bushco getting caught spying on the UN a week before the vote- so they pulled the vote and just invaded anyway- remember that? Bush didn't get UN approval, Kerry didn't speak up! Trustworthy? Man of his word? Best choice to lead the American people?

Or could it be that Kerry has been chosen by the wealthy elite of this country that own and control the media. Do you see this distribution of wealth?
