This is uncalled for. Patty Wetterling's opponent has a name - Mark Kennedy. Last I checked, Mr. Kennedy wasn't taking money from anti-American organizations (i.e., MoveOn.org), and didn't have to resort to taking money from any and ALL organizations that offered it up. Easy to sell your soul, when you owe so many, so much. Yes, she is to be HIGHLY commended for what she's accomplished in the private sector. She's (and we're) much better keeping her there. God knows who's drum she'll find herself marching to.

Let's be entirely fair and honest about this. How many contributions has Mark Kennedy's campaign turned-down because it came in direct conflict to what he believed-in??? The intent I read into this is that any politician that accepts politcal campaign contributions from any contributor has subsequently "sold their sole" to those contributors. Maybe the appropiate thing to do is to make a list for both candidates.
If this is the assertion, then wouldn't it stand to reason that Mark Kennedy, by the sheer magnitude of the amount he's raised, has sold his sole to far more special interest group than has Wetterling?
