Where I have to answer your question but you don’t need to address any of my points. That’s OK. Do I think accepting campaign contributions from business interests(Wall Street) automatically makes you a bad person or makes you “in their pocket”? Of course not. But when you’ve got someone funded by Wall Street AND more importantly advocating far right positions like getting rid of Social Security, Medicare and the Dept of Education, it’s extremely fair to ask what Wall Street is trying to buy with their campaign contributions. My question to you is, what are you stumping for a candidate that is advocating far right positions on Democratic Underground?
