Kerry's Special Friends [View All]

[MariaS]

I don't know about this writer and if he has any ulterior motives and if someone can refute these claims with proof I will apologize for posting this But if this article is correct then Kerry is the same old politics as usual. Greed, Lies and Dirt. Say what you want but this is exactly the kind of thing I thought all of us were sick and tired of. I would not settle for the lesser of two evils in 2000 and I will not do it in 2004.


Kerry's Special Friends
The New York Times, by David Brooks
Published: February 7, 2004


John Kerry has been railing against the special interests, and I don't think that's very nice because it implies that some people's interests are not so special. I like to think that everybody's interests are special in their own way.

What's more, I think Kerry knows this, because if you look over his long career, you see that he loves all our interests, big and small, near or far. For example, a Chinese businesswoman named Liu Chaoying dreamed of having her company listed on a U.S. stock exchange. That's certainly a special dream.

Maybe as a little girl she would come home from school, gather up her little dollies and tell them about her dream of ringing the bell to start the trading day, or of having little Lucite tombstones on her desk to mark her mergers and acquisitions. Maybe some of the other little girls in school told her she'd never have a company on a U.S. exchange, because you know how cruel little kids can be.
