Kerry's Iran Scandal
The Washington Times ^ | 10/14/2004 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

Posted on 10/14/2004 11:03:27 PM PDT by nimar

The Kerry-Edwards campaign is headed toward a campaign finance scandal involving contributions on behalf of a foreign power, similar to allegations that plagued Bill Clinton's re-election in 1996. Instead of Communist China, this time the foreign power seeking to influence a U.S. presidential candidate is the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world's premier state sponsor of international terror.

Please give sources of your information. Just to suggest such things does not help.

we will be seeing mushroom clouds within 2 years!

And then Bush will take the blame. I already hear from democrat relatives that "if Kerry is elected, he has to clean up Bush's mess". They hang their heads and shake it like a frog in a hail storm. Its interesting how polite republican's have been as far as Clintoon's mess, we are soooo polite.

Isn't it Kerry's plan to give nuke fuel to Iran? Maybe this is why.
Iranian money.

No I don't it is not in the FBI record. It would require a news search for the event and see if the article has the name. Or if someone was at the event.

Top among the pro-regime fund-raisers who have contributed to the Kerry campaign is a recent Iranian immigrant in California named Susan Akbarpour.

The Kerry campaign credits Miss Akbarpour and her new husband, Faraj Aalaie, with each raising $50,000 to $100,000 for the presidential campaign. Mr. Aalaie is president of Centillium Communications, a Nasdaq-listed software firm.

These contributions continue despite even though Miss Akbarpour was not a permanent U.S. resident when she made her initial contribution to Mr. Kerry on June 17, 2002, as this reporter first revealed in March. (To be legal, campaign cash must come from U.S. citizens or permanent residents).
