JOHN KERRY'S "TRUST ME"
John Kerry has the right issue in government catering to special interests. I don't have nearly the problem with Bush about Iraq as I do about this - crony capitalism as they call it. But is he the right messenger, given he's the senator who raised more from paid lobbyists than any other senator over the past 15 years.
And his answer is the same as the one I hate from the Republicans: "Trust me!"
Yes, I take their money - but they get nothing! Nada! I spit on their requests! Scorched earth policy! If they even ask me for a favor, I give them such a look!
This is the same problem I have with Rush Limbaugh: don't come out and pretend your addiction is better than the other guy's addiction.
The money influences your votes, who you talk to and who you don't have time for, and which asses you kiss.
Not that the Republicans aren't worse - for them, "Special interests have taken over our government!" is an applause line.

Just Give Us the Tools, We'll Take it From There
According to ABC News, U.S. troops stationed in Iraq are receiving the usual “Care Packages” from home. You know, clean socks, chewing gum, smokes…armor chest plates to keep them from getting killed. Due to still-unexplained shortages of critical materials and equipment, some U.S. military families and parents are forced to spend thousands of dollars of their own money to purchase essentials for their enlisted sons and daughters serving in Iraq. Other troops, including the President’s beloved reservists, are bringing their own goggles, backpacks, and gloves when they travel to Iraq to fight the people who hate us because we’re free or whatever. Now, I can see the Bush administration screwing these kids out of essential supplies if they were just schoolchildren, but these are our troops we’re talking about here. Is it too much to ask to send them into harm’s way with decent safety equipment? Or should we just start calling them the Coalition of the Naked?
