Y'see, my friend...that is what we are talking about...Terry mentions "troublesome ties" which as far as I am aware (do the research) are no more than those I have stated above. They are portrayed by his enemies as HUGE conflicts of interest. Why? Because that is how we play politics around this country. And as for you....you hate Republicans and corporations so much that you see the term "troublesome ties" and immediately think that he owns 500,000 shares of Merck stock, his wife sits on the Board of Directors, and his father is CEO of Merck. :wink:
