Subject: RE: BS: Is Enron Dubya's Waterloo Part II
The Clinton link, Doug? Sure did. I think the site link I listed was especially interesting though, because it shows a definite pattern of shift from the early nineties to current day in favor of Republican candidates. Why, do you think? It may have something to do with incumbency, or it may have to do with a you-scratch-my-back reciprocation of favors granted for money? You tell me.

Follow that link to the homepage, and find out exactly what candidate owes what PAC. VERY interesting.

In an age when political office is by and large a purchaseable commodity, the people who can afford to buy office will be A) those who are independently enormously wealthy or B) those who are willing to court PACs for the funds necessary to buy office, while promising nothing in return C) Those who court PACs to buy office while promising loyalty and service. My cynicism tells me there just won't be many successful B's.
