#2 I may part company with some of you on this. I don't care who she contributes to or how much. I do care if those organizations are anti-America or terrorists. I also think that the campaign reform act was a bunch of wasted paper and restricts MY rights to free association and speech.

#3 and this man might still become our President. How low the once idealistic Democrats have sunk.

#4 "...and this man might still become our President. How low the once idealistic Democrats have sunk..."

If ,God help us, Hanoi John should get elected, which I still think is impprorable, you may insert the word "Americans" in place of "Democrats". For if this man wins then truly we as a nation have sunk to that level of discourse.

#5 Final figures were not released because she has sought an extension to file her return in October.

Either this was misreported by Kerry's campaign or the reporter's a jackass. The 4868 gives her an automatic four month extension to August 15th; if, around that point you're not going to make the 8/15 deadline you then file a 2688, which is an additional two month request to be granted by the IRS. The report gives the impression that the 2688 has already been submitted and the additional time either granted or the request is pending, either of which is extremely unlikely.

In other words, you don't file a 4868 and follow up immediately with the 2688.

#6 One further thought - if over 1/2 of her investments are in tax exempt instruments, doesn't this strongly imply that after tax rates of return on tax exempt instruments are higher than taxable ones or, put another way, that tax rates are still to high? In theory, after tax rates on both classes of investments ought to be equal.
