As Sen. John F. Kerry's campaign escalates charges over energy giant Halliburton's government deals and ties to Vice President Dick Cheney, there's one thing they don't mention - the Kerry family's own Halliburton payday.

Teresa Heinz Kerry liked the Cheney-run Halliburton enough to buy and sell more than a $250,000 in company stock in 1996, netting a tidy profit of up to $15,000, records show.

The Kerry family Halliburton investment is tucked in the Massachusetts senator's lengthy financial disclosure forms, reviewed by the Herald.

The records, which limit disclosure only to broad ranges, show one of the Heinz family trusts bought between $250,001 and $500,000 of Halliburton stock on May 13, 1996 - while Cheney was its CEO.

In one of many quick turnaround deals in the Heinz trusts, the Halliburton stock was sold less than two months later for a profit.

1) Kerry was never CEO of Halliburton.

2) Kerry was never Vice President giving no-bid contracts to a company he used to CEO and still owns stock in.


nobody would care about Dick Cheney and Halliburton if that MASSIVE conflict of interest didnt exist..

since that conflict of interest doesnt exist with John Kerry, this doesnt amount to squat.



but i know how u like to entertain yourself comparing apples to oranges, so i'll let u sit in the corner and try to figure this one out by yourself.

ta ta!

Guilty by association. <--That's his game you know...I learned me sumthin!
