L.Adam,

The current Politicians need to go too. Even wonder why when one Dems speaks out...the rest run for cover? This payola stuff stinks on both sides of the aisle. I won't say I told anyone so but I've been complaining about it for years here...only to be accused of panicing.

We know about Bush, Cheney, McCain etc., all the pork...but just to add perspective to it all look at this one. You hardly hear much about it...

"Terry McAuliffe and Corporate Greed
This has all the indications of sleaze attributed to Enron, but with this difference. This time there is a questionable political connection that is real. It turns out that Democrat National Chairman Terry McAuliffe made an 18,000 percent profit from Global Crossing, turning a $100,000 stock investment into $18 million.
But there's more: McAuliffe took his money off the table just before the corporation went into the tank. Global Crossing employees and small shareholders and pensioners were left holding the bag"

...

A lot of that money went to fund Gores campaign...or so I hear.
So who is the sucker here? The public of course. Not that they have had their wallets cleaned will they "get it"...

Remains to be seen.

Jim
