Other People's Money

I missed the "SWIFT" boat on this.

The Ragister's John Carlson
wrote a follow up story about a V.F.W. hall, in Des Moines, that suffered a fire and is looking for help to rebuild.

Monday's mail brought a note and a check for $5,000 from John Kerry.

On the surface it seems nice, but digging deeper we find...

It wasn't a personal check. It was drawn from the account of "Keeping America's Promise," Kerry's political action committee, which is the repository of donations from around the country sent to support Kerry and used by him to fund campaigns and for political outreach.

The man has been married to two wealthy women and he can't even cut a check of his own!?

It'll help them with the estimated $50,000 they need for repairs.

How sincere is it when he's really re-gifting, just with cash.

One of the veterans said..."Wouldn't it be nice if other politicians did the same thing he did?"

I'm sure it'll happen, this is the first caucus state and there are those, like Kerry, getting ready for 2008. Maybe John Edwards can get them some stuff at Wal-Mart.

It's just like a politician, they make a living spending other people's money!
