It sure is interesting to see how these conservative and moralistic corruption fighters go about fighting corruption, by bathing in it...in a similar fashion they fight for fairness, transparency and small government by abusing the very power they claim to deplore...it's like all the televangelists who inundate the airwaves saying that people's love of wealth leads to sin while they're of course luxuriating in the contributions of their guilt ridden followers.
And yet it almost seems to make no difference to the majority of eligible voters who will toss their support behind those they know are no better at running things than themselves and then blame "gu'mint" for all their troubles.
In the words of the immortal Charlie Brown; "good grief". I sometimes think that the public spirited exhortation to "get out there and vote" has backfired and we should hope that fewer and fewer vote, those fewer being those who've followed the issues and have some insight.
