all of these years. this was a big difference i noticed he had with Bush in 2004. Bush didn't seem to have any friends from his younger days . all of his people were those put there by his dad for business purposes. they gained by getting appointments , business deals , etc with Bush in office.

with Romney all of the people are coming out against him. from his bullying in high school to the weird shit of pretending to be an officer in college . all of his "friends" are corporate types who agree with him on economics and see themselves as special and deserving of more.

Kerry's friends are the types the average person will know in their life.
