Kerry heads to competitive territory in the suburbs of St. Louis on Friday to argue that President Bush (news - web sites) slighted seniors while crafting a Medicare prescription drug plan that left a big hole in the coverage and forbid the government from negotiating cheaper prices.


"George W. Bush believes, when it comes to Medicare, the big drug companies come first, the insurance companies come second and seniors come last. Well, I'm going to put you first," Kerry said in remarks prepared for a meeting with seniors.

3. The only moral certainty here is corporatists will always put the well-

being ahead of large corporations ahead of the well-being of the people. The only question is "is W a corporatist?"
