Who Is Paying For Kerry's $6.4 Million Campaign Loan?

Compilation ^

[Hon]

WASHINGTON

[Mike Darancette]

What is Kerry Hiding? We need to see his and his wife's financial records as well as all phone calls for the last 3 years and his military records. What he tells us only raises more questions.

You just verified what I wrote. I was only surmising that she had supported him financially. I had no idea it was to the extent that it was. I guess my female intuition is still intact. Not bad for an old broad.

Actually, I was married to a slime ball years ago. Once you've had experience with one, you can smell them a mile away :)

Easy, peasy!! Gigolo Kerry got his mortgage loan the same place Willie got his, from McAuliffe. Gigs can pay it back wasily enoght by getting in the same line that Dashole did to earn the multimillions he is spending on his new house. Kerry will use Dashole's wife as his bag lady as well. Clients hire the bag lady to provide influence. she whispers in the senators' ears and they vote the way the clients wanted. Kerry is a little more difficult to work with because he is already owned by some left wing groups on a variety of issues and can't be bribed with respect to them. An honest Senator is one who stays bought.

[Hon]

As you probably know his first wife, Julia Thorne, wrote a book about her struggles with depression--which just happened to coincide with her marriage to Kerry. I'm sure she was circumspect about directly criticizing him. But I wonder if there isn't a lot between the lines in her book.

Per article, the senator makes 158K a year, not nearly enough to make interest payments. Does he have rental property or maybe they rent out their other houses.

Didn't see it in the articles, but I thought he got this loan only on his 1/2 of the property, which if true, is interesting how he did that.

Also, wasn't he selling or putting some paintings up for a loan recently?

I bet he hasn't made one interest payment yet-nice to have friends in the banking business.

I had heard that she had written a book, but I wasn't aware of the subject matter. Besides his doing his anti-war crap and disrespecting the rest of the troops who served and were serving at the time, the fact that he wanted an annulment of his first marriage totally boggles my mind. It wasn't bad enough that he screwed around on her and then dumped her, he then had to twist the knife in her back by requesting that she invalidate the marriage in which she bore him two children. He is lower than low.

According to Ann Coulter, it was Heinz who demanded he get the annulment. As a Roman Catholic, she couldn't marry a divorced man. I don't think he ever got the annulment that he asked for, but Ann had a very good take on it all. She basically said that John Kerry, the man who said that he'd stand up to the big special interest groups, couldn't even stand up to Heinz on the annulment issue.

How much you wanna make a bet he is paying for it with campaign contributions.

[Hon]

"According to Ann Coulter, it was Heinz who demanded he get the annulment. As a Roman Catholic, she couldn't marry a divorced man."

Ann got that from various sources, including the Boston Globe. But Teresa didn't insist on an annulment until AFTER she and Kerry were already married in a civil ceremony.

I don't think the annulment has gone through. (There is also a Kennedy annulment pending.) We probably would have heard about it if it had.

"There's been no record of how he earned, or IF he earned a living from the time he was discharged in January of 1970 until he entered Boston Law School in September of 1973".

Is is true or false that Kerry was given an early discharge to attend law school? I read this two days ago.

[Cicero]

Under Cardinal Law, the Boston marriage tribunal was a travesty. But you're right, I haven't heard that Kennedy's annulment has gone through yet.

And by the way, I think you are right to raise this issue now--the size of the annual payments compared to the size of his salary especially--because it's something that people should know about and talk about, even if the FEC and the press are prepared to let him off.

Also, it's one thing to marry for money, but its something else to marry twice for money and then bite the hands that feed you. I don't think people will be too fond of that.

[mass55th]

I heard that he asked for and received an early discharge so he could run for a Congressional seat. He ended up not running though.

[Hon]

"Is is true or false that Kerry was given an early discharge to attend law school? I read this two days ago."

Kerry was given a six months early discharge to run for Congress. --He didn't run.

[varon]

Aides say he has assets that aren't listed on the forms but decline to reveal them.

Perhaps he gets an allowance from his wife ;-)

[afz400]

Someone needs to ask Kerry whether his wounds in Vietnam were self-inflicted.

[KevinDavis]

Talking about Bush and the National Guard.

[SandRat]

Wifey WARBUCKS?

Jane Fondue?

CPUSA?

Workers of the World?

Kerry on the Campaign Trail in the Western States.

How about this for an idea: Kerry never makes a payment on the loan, the bank forecloses, and Teresa buys the property at the foreclosure sale. How many people are in the market for a house that expensive? The foreclosure wouldn't take place until after the election, so if Ketchup Boy is in, no big deal there, if he loses, so what?

[LRS]

Since his marriage in 1995, Kerry has repeatedly refused to fill in the missing details of his financial holdings...

Let's start by demanding his dental records...Got to be something of value in those choppers!

[malia]

The records need to be reviewed. That door has been opened wide now.
