But Hawk, it doesn't matter how much money a political party has, they can't tell people who to vote for when they actually decide and do it. <Both political parties are awash in campaign donations from Wall St firms, so they DEFINITELY get a "vote" when they finance the actual campaigns.> Maybe Americans think different and feel obliged to vote for somebody who shows they have a lot of money. It's a weird way to vote if you ask me, but if you and your friends want to vote like that, it's your choice. Or do you say "Oh, it's not ME who votes according to how much money the political party has, it's all those other people." I backed a political party here a decade ago which had loads of money. They were then splashing it around, with big advertisements and big noting. What they were advertizing was actually, contrary to what they thought they were doing "We are rich and stupid, we waste money, give us your vote so we can waste yours too. We are in favour of us and our rich friends so we will also take your money for us." That's what people thought. People have free will and choose who to vote for. I certainly do and I guess you think you decide too. If you ask each person, they will nearly all say they decide for themselves. They don't just vote for the politician with the most money. Mqurice
