Kerry raised 1% of his total in individual lobbyist contributions, a total of 600 K over 20 years. You know why that's the most? Because unlike other senators, he refused to take ANY of the big PAC adn soft money so the individual lobbyists went to his fundraisers. But that's still only 1% of the total individuals. Which is peanuts. Bush and the RNC have raised hundreds of millions in special interest money of all kinds, including almost a million from Enron alone. Not only that but they are basically selling their policies, as McCain put it. The corruption is rampant. Bush took in 1.2 in corporate money today at lunch. Delay eliminated the rule forcing congressmen to report lobbyist gifts. Therefore, we have no idea how many tens of millions the GOP congress has taken in, and will never know. Just pure corruption there. Furthermore, when I raised money for Kerry they told me they had a very strict rule about turning down any check from anyone with any kind of tit for tat hinted at. They are exztremely ethical and this frightens the RNC so they use boobs like you to lie about Kerry. If Bushies want to debate special interest corruption, bring it on. Kerry wins 100-1.
