Kerry, a.k.a. Bush, Takes Funding from Halliburton

[CarneVaca]

Lately, we've seen a lot of vilification here of a great American, Ralph Nader, for the supposed hypocrisy in "accepting" help from Republicans for his campaign. For his merely playing the stock market, god forbid!

This is all a dirty campaign by the Democratic Party to demonize a great man who has done a lot for the American public, including pushing for the passage of the Freedom of Information Act, which benefits you and me everyday, every time we read a newspaper or watch a TV news show.

What the Democrats aren't advertising is that John Kerry's campaign has taken $130,000 from Halliburton. Gasp! Yes, that is about three times as much as Nader has taken contributions from Republicans.

Are the Democrats really in an ethical and moral position to lambast Nader the way they do? Or are they trying to demonize the man because they know that, like four years ago, they are trying to ram down their voters' throats an unpalatable candidate who really doesn't represent them?

So, let's see, so far Kerry has

--Admitted that knowing what he knows today he'd still vote to let Bush wage war on Iraq. Even William F. Buckley has said that knowing what he knows today he would have opposed the war.
--Promised to not only sustain but expand the faith-based initiatives the Democrats criticized Bush so much for.
--Promised that while he won't drill for oil in Alaska he will "drill everywhere else." Nice!
--Promised more tax breaks, i.e., CORPORATE WELFARE, for corporations.
--Promised to stick with Bush's Middle East roadmap.
--Banned anti-war protests from his political rallies.

Is it any wonder this Bush Lite would take funding from Halliburton, the same company Dick Cheney led and for which we went into this ill-advised, unjust war into Iraq?

Kerry = Bush.
