Reply #76: Geez, are you that blind, that naive? Puhleeze, friend, wake up

And smell the coffee. These aren't just any old donors like you are me, these are CEOs, partners, chairmen, people who, for all intents and purposes, ARE the companies that they work for. Trying to simply dismiss them as just another Joe Schmoe working guy is ludicrous at best, and disingenous at worst.

Here, want some more examples? "People who listed their job titles as corporate president, CEO, law or investment firm partner, and consultant figured prominently among Kerry's donors." <http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/dean/articles/2003/11/05/dean_surpasses_kerry_in_raising_funds_in_the_bay_state/>

"Kerry - like Bush - has recruited an army of 'bundlers' who skip around strict campaign finance laws by gathering $2,000 cheques from friends and employees into bundles of $50,000 or $100,000. Kerry has 32 $100,000 bundlers and 87 $50,000 bundlers. They come mainly from powerful law firms, real estate companies, financiers and lobbyists. "

"Executives and employees at such companies have contributed more than $140,000 to Kerry's presidential campaign, a review of his donor records show. Additionally, two of Kerry's biggest fundraisers, who together have raised more than $400,000 for the candidate, are top executives at investment firms that helped set up companies in the world's best-known offshore tax havens, federal records show."

Look, if you wish to continue to delude yourself about Kerry's corporate whoring fine, but don't expect those of us who use logic and the mind that God gave to agree with you. Your ongoing flight into the face of facts simply underscores the point I made in my original post, thanks.
