John Kerry Looses Election and still fails to keep campaign promises

Found another really great article on [url=http://www.captainsquartersbl...]Captain's Quarters[/url] today, I believe this quote was originally from the Washington Post:
There are rumblings that, despite a recent discovery of $15 million in leftover campaign money, some of the Kerry campaign advance team are having trouble getting paid for the last several weeks of the campaign. Worse, many of them have not seen a per diem check since the end of August, we're told, and they do not know when they're going to get paid.
Phone calls apparently don't get returned and, if they do, the mantra is "next week" or "you're on my list."
So it seems Kerry is possibly the first politician in history that managed to loose an election and still not keep his campaign promises. He promised to pay his campaign workers, and hasn't.
Ok, the guy has over 15 million bucks in donations that he hasn't used, and a multi-billionare for a wife, and supposedly he can't afford to cut a few per diem checks to folks that busted their butts trying to get him elected? That is just really, really sad.
But apparently this isn't the first instance where Kerry has skipped out on paying the check. The Captain also reports:
I see now how John Kerry planned on balancing the budget: he just wouldn't pay the bills. This is not Kerry's first time for leaving workers in the lurch, either. Last July, Kerry left an $847 bill unpaid for a small airport used by the Kerry airplane
So apparently Kerry, who supposedly is some champion of the little guy, has no problem spending government funds, i.e., other peoples money, to support the "little guy", he just won't spend any of his own for the same purpose.
Lol.. ok, seriously folks, is there anyone who can actually say their sorry this guy didn't get elected President?
