<div class="posttitle">John Kerry: Bastion of integrity</div> 

<p>Or not... If you go and equate something to a traitor, what does it say about you when you accept support from said "traitors".<br />
<blockquote><br />
Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, frequently calls companies and chief executives "Benedict Arnolds" if they move jobs and operations overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes. <br />
 <br />
But Kerry has accepted money and fundraising assistance from top executives at companies that fit the candidate's description of a notorious traitor of the American Revolution. </p>

<p>Executives and employees at such companies have contributed more than $140,000 to Kerry's presidential campaign, a review of his donor records shows. Additionally, two of Kerry's biggest fundraisers, who together have raised more than $400,000 for the candidate, are top executives at investment firms that helped set up companies in the world's best-known offshore tax havens, federal records show. Kerry has raised nearly $30 million overall for his White House run. <br />
...<br />
Kerry has come under attack from President Bush, as well as some Democrats, for criticizing laws he voted for and lambasting special interests after accepting more money from paid lobbyists than any other senator over the past 15 years.</p>

<p>--<a title="Kerry Donors Include 'Benedict Arnolds' (washingtonpost.com)" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6884-2004Feb25.html">Washington Post</a><br />
