K/E ticket is wealthiest ticket ever to run for the office???

[napi21]

Peter Roff of AP is on cspan saying the Heinz family should have to release the sealed records of the estate of Sen. Heinz to proove Teresa is not using the $$ she inherited to fund her current husbands campaign.

And that the erry/Edwards ticket is the weathiest ticket to ever run for the office.

Is THAT TRUE? And if it is, does it matter???

1. Peter Riff is a nasty asshole that is not very creditable.

He sez a lot of things, but he's still shilling for junior and the thugs.

2. why should they

even if it was true they don't need to unseal jack sh*t. rich people run for president. big deal. peter roff needs to quit crying.

3. Untrue. Kerry and Teresa have a legal agreement keeping separate finances.

Kerry has money of his own but nowhere near as much as Bush or Cheney.

Republicans ADD Teresa's money to his to make that claim, completely oblivious that Kerry has NO legal claim on that money.

5. Kerry would be the third wealthiest Pres. Again, reporter is wrong!

This areticle list the top 5 wealthiest presidents. The top 3 were Washington, Kennedy, and Kerry if elected.

4. I'll bet

If you could find where all the * family riches are hidden, you'd come up with numbers that would curl your hair. And that's not even counting the ongoing embezzlements.

6. Matters not

the size of ones pile, but what one chooses to do with it.

7. The Bush Crime Family has more billions by far....

It's just hidden in dummy corporations and secret accounts. Poppy gave $100 million to Yale when his declared net worth was far less. How do you do that?

8. No. All 3 Kennedy's had more money.

[AP]

10. JFKennedy's own estate was only worth about 10 mil when he died. LBJ, 100m

People thought LBJ was the poor hick, but he was personally ten times wealthier than Kennedy thanks to his wife's TV stations, and other assets.

9. How much Nazi gold is in ChimpCo's war chest?

That'd be a fair question for Mr. Roff. I hate this "talking point" that they keep putting out. "Kerry is RICH. Bush is Just Plain Folks"

Bullshit. Why not have Bush list what's sitting in Switzerland and the Channel Island banks?

11. Not by a long shot

JK has never made any money but has given his life to public service. True, he has married wealthy women but they would not be so stupid not to get iron-clad prenups. But JK has a talent for marrying well.

JFK-LBJ wealthiest I bet.

12. See my link in above post. It was Washington #1. Kennedy #2.

13. Snotcicles ...

Such a lovely name. Not!!! :D

But I do agree with you when you said:

"Matters not the size of ones pile, but what one chooses to do with it."

14. But no one really knows how much Bush and Cheney are worth

Lot's of hidden assets.
