But I just don't trust politicians anymore. I did, back when I was young and naive, and I happily voted for Clinton, twice. Then Bush was elected, and I started digging for myself, and found out how truly compromised the political process / system really is in this country.

I don't have anything against Kerry but your claim that all the money that Kerry received from people in Wall Street is all 'clean' is something I'll be taking with a huge bag of salt. We're talking about over a million dollars. Can you really tell me that you know for certain that it's all from above-board types? I think a closer look at his votes on securities legislation is in order.

Up until now I've taken other DU'ers on their word that he had a solid progressive record. Now he's in the spotlight and I find out he didn't support Byrd's amendment, and that he's the second biggest recipient of Wall Street money.

That isn't going to be brushed away easily. I'm still ABB, but this is very disappointing.
