Kerry Denounces Special Corporate Favors
Edited on Wed Aug-04-04 03:58 AM by Zorra
This is the real John Kerry. This is the person we need to elect as President of the United States in November.

Kerry Denounces Special Corporate Favors

BELOIT, Wis. - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites), in a veiled swipe at Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites), said Tuesday that he won't dole out special favors to corporations if elected president.

My vice president of the United States will never meet secretly with polluters who want to rewrite the environmental laws," the presidential nominee told a cheering crowd packed into a hockey arena.

The barb referred to Cheney, who met with industry officials while drafting proposals for new energy laws. Democrats want more information about those meetings and have argued that Cheney, the former head of the Halliburton Co., had allowed the loosening of clean air and water rules at the behest of corporations.

1. Oooh, this is good
"Kerry said he counts $65 billion that goes to corporations "for no really good reason at all."

"You go through those pages, ladies and gentlemen, and there's gobbledygook that is hard to interpret," he said. "The only people who can interpret it are the people who paid for it with the campaign finance system."

Rate it a 5!

If Kerry keeps speaking about reigning in corporate greed, he can get some of the Nader voters.

I can only hope he follows up on it though, because we need actions more than words alone.


The fact that he picked Edwards - who made a living fighting corporate greed - is encouraging.

I'm all for capitalism, but it needs to be regulated.
