Reply #24: Kerry's not bought and paid for, so he can't be in the Kool Kids Klub

The "Senate leadership" doesn't like Kerry because he forced their hand on Iraq, which didn't please the equivocating "I disagree with Bush but also don't think we should withdraw" crowd.

The "Senate leadership" doesn't like Kerry because he's not owned by anybody, so that means he's not accountable to any larger master besides his own conscience. That makes him "dangerous" in their eyes.

The "Senate leadership" doesn't like Kerry because, as his past investigations have proven, he will not cease digging for the truth even if it means stepping on "important" toes. This frightens many of them, who have had their fingers in many unsavory pies throughout the years and do not want anyone peeking too closely into their closets.

Well, I have a message for the "Senate leadership." The Democrats won in 2006 because Americans are sick and tired of corruption and "politics as usual." What the "Senate leadership" is apparently too stupid to understand is that voters will be just as sick of it from Dems as they are from Republicans - if they think their shit won't stink just as bad, they are in for a rude awakening.

That is why anti-corruption, maverick Democrats like John Kerry, who are not bought and paid for and serving their corporate masters, are the only real solution to the plague that ails our government.
