Kerry has taken less special interest money than anyone in the Senate over his tenure. Of the hundreds and hundreds of contributors the rightwing can only find one single case where anything even approached looking unethical. Jk would return any money with a bad whiff to it right away. $10,000 is a tiny amount of money compared to the millions and millions in corporate soft money and bundled corporate goodies Cheney-Bush have taken. Kerry has taken less special interest money than anyone in the Sneate over the last twenty years, because he's refused all PAC money and 99% of all soft money when everyone else was taking it. That case you posted was simply a case of not knowing the nature of the source until after the check was deposited. When I met to raise money for JK the first thing they told me was to refuse checks if anything or anyone even hinted any any quid pro quo. Right before soft money was banned the Kerry campaign refused a 200 K check just because the guy said he might like to be an ambassador someday. Bush on the other hand has a long record of "cash for trash" documented fully in the book "The Dirty Truth".
