kerryboy will be HOMELESS in spring 2004:Kerry Mortgages Home to Keep Campaign Afloat
Fundraising Falling Short for Presidential Hopeful as Primaries Demand Increased Spending

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) announced yesterday that he is putting $850,000 of his own money into his presidential campaign and will put more in as soon as he gets a mortgage on his home on Beacon Hill in Boston.

Aides acknowledged that the personal contribution was crucial to keeping the campaign afloat at a time when expenditures are rising and fundraising has been falling.

"Senator Kerry has fulfilled his promise to invest in his own campaign," declared Mary Beth Cahill, his campaign manager. "This is a clear statement by John Kerry -- he is in the race to win the nomination and defeat George Bush."

Kerry has rejected public financing to avoid spending limits that accompany the taxpayer subsidies. Two other candidates, President Bush and former Vermont governor Howard Dean, have rejected public financing, but Bush and Dean intend to raise the additional money from individual donors, not from their own assets.

Sources said Kerry was close to running out of money to finance his campaign. After getting off to a fast start, raising more than $7 million in the first quarter of 2003, sources said he is likely to raise between $1 million and $2 million in the final three months of the year, just when demands for travel, staff and television advertising are escalating rapidly.

The Debt of the Nineties still has not been unwound which fueled the expansion. Terrorist appeasement was unabated
Foreign intervention was unrelenting. Clinton was a failure. Gore woulda been a one way ticket to the Abyss.

"You're right, nobody cared about Clinton's sex.... So why do right-wingers keep harping on it? Who cares? "

I believe it was your harp strings that that played this tune. Hardly anybody cares except those people who were personally effected and persons who have empathy for them. Still this is a very small percentage. People, like me, who once supported him, care that when he was tested on an issue involving trust he betrayed us. Trust is numero uno for an elected official. He sold out the left wingers for his personal quirks. People like you were blackmailed into believing that if you didn't let go of every single left wing social issue in the process, it would result in an over turn of Roe v Wade. Clinton allowed the left wing machinery from NOW to equal rights to be trashed at the alter of abortion rights. For 50 years the democratic party had been the greatest non-violent mechanism for social change the world had ever seen. It was all politics and he sold everyone and every thing out in the process. The Democratic party will not recover any time soon. There will have to be some major goof up by the republican administration and then it could be someone like the Libertarians who finally show strength as a party. It hasn't happened yet, as much as the spin miesters try. When you stop claiming that its all about sex you mmmmight finally see that.
