Kerry has received more money from special interests than almost any other candidate.

You seem easily swayed by the republican technique of data mining. The RNC plugs all sorts of numbers into a computer and looks for any matchup where Kerry is the most, least, or otherwise superlative and then tries to spin it.

In this example they are comparing total amounts of a three term senator with the majority who have had much less time to recive any contributions. More egregious, is the definition of "special interest". What does that mean? The RNC just arbitrarily divides doners into regular interests and special interests until they can find a sum that fits the distraction of the day. It's very deceitful, but then again that is the hallmark of this administration.

Clinton was never a serious energy reformer and Carter did start huge solar programs. Reagan scrapped them all when he came into office. You know why. The same Texas interests behind Bush-Cheney. Wouldn't it have been nice to have all those Carter solar farms.
