THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY????
Lately I've been reading about financial contributions to politicians. The public disclosure laws really show how sure these 'leaders' are of themselves. The contributions to Al Franken's legal defense fund showed 2 donors from the state he represents, the remainder being mainly from Cali. and NY. One can only wonder. Why is there more turnover in the Politboro, than in Congress? Surely the word gerrymandering has been translated into Russian. I long vaguely for the days of self imposed term limits wherein citizen legislators served their country and returned to their home states and proceeded with normal life. Now public service is merely a cynical career move, and leaving public service is a step into influence peddling and old boy network cronyism. I'm going fishing....

alas, the same is true for michelle bachmann.....most of her campaign contributions come from outside of her district (rush, no doubt, is a big contributor)....and you know how she started her political career?? she ran for office in her school district....ooo she believed in her school district so much that she home schooled all her children...nothing better than an expert....who believes that carbon dioxide is natural...it's a natural thing so it can't be bad, silly rabbit...and we should teach all the little children about creationism in our public schools....i'll take the funny little dark haired guy with glasses any time....
