As someone who follows politics and has worked for politicians and who is actively working to get Senator Kerry elected as the next President of the United States, I will tell you that I can't stand this kind of stuff. I do my research, and I knew about this prior to deciding to support Kerry and frankly I had to make a decision about who I thought would represent my personal beliefs and interests best. Honestly, none of the major candidates are free from this sort dirt so it is difficult to participate in the political process if you refuse to support anyone who has some mud on their shoes. What I hope is that under a different president, we can continue to push for real campaign finance reform.
I would like to say more, but I have to go pick up my son.
