Kerry has resisted special interest money? How do you explain this:

"According to “Newsweek” magazine, Kerry met with Liu Chaoying, a Hong Kong businesswoman who wished to have her company listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange. Kerry lobbied on her behalf by helping to organize a meeting between Liu Chaoying and a senior Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official. In return, Kerry accepted a $10,000 contribution in the form of a Beverly Hills Fundraiser on September 9, 1996, less than a month before the election, “Newsweek” reported.
It would later be established that Liu Chaoying was not simply a profit-motivated business woman, but rather a lieutenant colonel in the Communist China’s Peoples Liberation Army

Newsweek reported that more than $28,000 in illegal contributions were funneled into the campaign of then President Bill Clinton, and Kerry, and that “the contributions came out of $300,000 in overseas wire transfers sent on orders from the chief of the Chinese military intelligence – and routed through a Hong Kong bank account controlled by Liu Chaoying.”
