Not politically correct, just real

For one thing, I am far from a politician. "Special influence" is perfectly legal the way things are set up now. Unless you have plenty of your own money to campaign, you've got to take someone else's. That doesn't necessarily mean you are corrupt. But you're bound to be at least "aware" of who gave you money, and you probably take their phone calls. When was the last time someone gave you a couple of thousand dollars just for nothing? We need a system where legislators can run without taking anyone's money. Then even the good guys will have no possibility of the appearance of being influenced, and the bad guys will have a harder time being corrupt.

I can't stand political correctness.

It really p***es me off!! Why do politicians wimp out and use the phrase "special interests influence" when what they should say is "corruption" as in... "I think one of the key parts of our work is trying to eliminate special interest influence from our elections at all levels," she said. This, of course, should read, "I think one of the key parts of our work is trying to eliminate corruption in our elections at all levels". Which do you think is a more truthful statement?

Wow

Unfortunately the court will probably seal most of the evidence here and I doubt anyone will be held accountable. I knew I shoulda been a corrupt lawyer.

A West Virginia judge decides in a coal company's favor and then photos surface of that judge on vacation in Monaco with the company's CEO...nothing fishy about that arrangement at all.
