It just goes on and on my friend. Some fella started saying it, knowing what it was, and he'll continue saying it for ever just because...
He's a liar.
In 1996 Kerry and Weld (the person running against him for the senate) agreed to spend no more then $500,000 of their own money in the race from July
first to the election.
In 1996, Kerry And Weld Established $500,000 Limit Of Personal Wealth To Be Used In Senate Campaign. “In 1996, Kerry and Weld gave their already
noteworthy Senate race added significance by establishing a spending cap. The candidates agreed to spend no more than $6.9 million from July 1 through
the election. Weld ended up spending $6.6 million and Kerry $6.3 million. One key element of the agreement limited the candidates to spending $500,000
in personal wealth, a clause Weld favored because Kerry is married to a millionaire, Teresa Heinz.” (Glen Johnson, “In Kerry’s Plan For A Pac, The
Resolution Of Opposites,” The Boston Globe, 12/18/01)
Did Kerry do what he said he'd do? Of course not. He spend $1.2 million over the agreed limit.
“[P]ost-election reports showed a last-minute infusion of $1.7 million from Kerry’s wife, heiress Teresa Heinz. … [K]erry denied that his campaign
violated its agreement. The money had been loaned--not contributed--by his wife, he explained. ‘There was nothing in the agreement that restricted us
from taking a loan … and we paid it back in $1,000 and $2,000 chunks.’” (“Global Ecology Lobby Rocked By Defection,” Political Finance, The
Newsletter, 1/02)
Well, if it came from his wife, I suppose it's not personal wealth. After all, he doesn't own SUVs, his family does. I guess that would imply he's
not actually part of his family. As does this.
BAD KERRY! No cookie!
