Democrats are already working to increase their majority through the same methods they publicly deplored when Republicans were using them. They are romancing lobbyists and special interests with marriage on their mind, according to an article in today's Washington Post:
In the next 10 days alone, Democratic fundraisers will feature the chairmen of the House's financial services panel and the House and Senate tax-writing committees. Senate Democrats also plan a fundraising reception during a major gathering of Native Americans in the capital Tuesday evening, an event hosted by lobbyists and the political action committee for tribal casinos, including those Jack Abramoff was paid to represent.
Apparently, if the other side is doing it, it's evil, but if you are doing it it's the cost of staying in business. Is it any wonder people have little or no faith in politicians?

I read a letter to the Editor of the Springfield News-Leader, in which the writer gave her opinion that a candidate could receive no more than $100. from a donor. I believe this is the answer too. The old saying "We have the best politicians that money can buy" Its time to stop that, I don't give a hoot if they are Democrats or Republicans.
