Kerry's charity

Talk is cheap.� Oh how easy to utter pious, feel good, warm fuzzies so listeners feel good and warm and fuzzy also.�Only meanies will disagree.�

�

Ah but what good is talk unless there is action?� Volunteer regularly.� No time?� Well, write a check or two for a worthwhile charity.� That takes just a few seconds; any amount is usually gratefully accepted and it is usually even tax deductible.

�

John Kerry, a member in excellent standing of the feel good, warm and fuzzy Democrat crowd,�has been in a position to act for 20 years.� And act he did——with other people's money.� Voting to�redistribute wealth, he mechanically voted for every tax increase that invoked compassion, "the children" and the usual feel good causes, easily earning his title as the Senate's most liberal member.

�

But did he put his money where his mouth——and vote——was?� No—o—o—o—o!� As this eight year old BT (Before Teresa) column exposes, Kerry was tightfisted with his own money.� So tightfisted that he didn't spend a cent of it on those he wailed about publicly.

�

Compassion ended at his checkbook.� A true Democrat indeed.�
