No wonder Kerry was for the war before he was against it

Sen. John Kerry’s stock investment in Defense Department civilian contractors was somewhere in the range of $2.6-$38.2 million for the period of 2004-06. And that’s just HIS money, not Theresa Heinz Kerry’s.

Spokesman David Wade said Kerry, who staunchly opposes the war in Iraq, is one of many beneficiaries of family trusts that he doesn't control. Wade also noted that Kerry does not sit on the Appropriations Committee, which has direct control of the defense budget.

“He has a 24-year Senate record of working and voting in the best interests of our men and women in the military, not of any defense contractors,” Wade said.

Please. You can get a family trust adjusted in some way, if you want to pay enough money.

The report says more Republicans in Congress own stock in DoD contractors, but Dems who do invest plug in more dinero in their investments.
