Defense of Kerry -by Democrats.com

"Robin Hood of the Senate: Kerry Takes from the Fat Cats and Gives to the Little Guy

Kerry is being accused of taking too many dollars from lobbyists for the fat cats - the finance, insurance, health care, oil/gas industries, etc. But, unlike Bush, Kerry doesn't reward donors with paybacks. Instead, in a "Robin Hood"-style turnaround, Kerry routinely sponsors and/or votes for bills that HURT these big donors! He received generous donations from the healthcare industry - then voted against the pro-industry Medicare reform bill. He has also sponsored several bills that hurt drug barons and led the fight to save ANWR from the oil/gas industries. Check out these Kerry-sponsored bills; most are focused on the little guy, not the fat cats.

LINK DOES NOT WORK. Go to the following link and follow their link. Sorry.

this is from http://www.democrats.com/

Scroll down to the article entitled "Robin Hood of the Senate: Kerry Takes from the Fat Cats and Gives to the Little Guy"

They are not the right wing media. Anyone who has read them knows this.
