Politicians constantly worry about raising it and taking care of those who provide it, even as they publicly pledge to clean up the system. No more feelgood votes in the comfortable knowledge that nothing will change. We always knew this was going to be tough. I am fully aware that this bill may make hard money more important, and that the Democratic Party has not raised as much hard money as the Republican Party in the past. I want principled politicians to be my leaders, and money turns would-be heroes into whores.
Whores do it for the money.
Money bores me. Talk of money bores me. Reading about money bores me. Writing about money bores me. The specifics of Campaign Finance Reform bore me.
