LOL Bush got free millions from his father's investor buddies (including a few Arabs) and both companies he was engaged in went bust. Caterair at Carlyle Group (big Saudi and CIA connections there) and at Harken Energy (more Arab money) it appears Bush is guilty of insider trading 40x as bad as martha Stewart, but got off without punishment. Bush always gets off without punishment, doesn't he? Wonder why? It's the Bush name I guess. GW then used these gains to invest in a sweetheart deal with the Texas Rangers which also involved forcing landowners out of their property to build a stadium. Kickbacks of various kinds were involved. Every deal Bush has ever gotten has basically been a freebie, an insider deal and did not involve real work on his part. Including the financing of his campaigns. Bush's policies are now costing tax-payers and consumers hundreds of billions of dollars. From the deliberate energy gouging his buddies did in 2000-2001 to the needless unilateral war expenses to the siphoning off of public dolars to the private sector and insider deals for corporate contributors, not to mention the Halliburton type scandals. Bush will also be leaving us with defivcits so high it may take decades to pay them off. Kerry has FOUGHT corruption all his career and has proven he is also fairly fiscally conservative. He has worked very hard to get to where he is and never had a rich powerful daddy to help him. Kerry did marry a wealthy Republican woman but her money is separate from his and she's contributed exactly $2000 to his campaign. He lives well but he never sloughed off or avoided hard work like GW has most of his life. Kerry also volunteered to serve in combat as we know, while Bush and Cheney both avoided it. Bush lies about this to this day.
