Give me a break! It was (exactly) 10 years ago. I was only 19. I didn't realize that of course the very big money, while probably desiring a republican president, also support the democratic campaigns so everyone owes them something. I'll still hold that there would have been quite a significant difference between a Kerry presidency and a Bush presidency because Bush was never just a republican president - he was the president of an extremist government conducting very harmful foreign policy and moral policy (which shouldn't even be a concept). Those things aren't what big money cares most about anyway.
