Money Spoke
« on: November 13, 2008, 04:51:21 PM »
I read something in one of the other threads about Elizabeth Dole that made me remember what I read a couple days after the election.  In our neighborhood every race was won by the one that raised the most money except one.  The spread of the vote also followed the amount raised as well. 

On one hand a person could say that fund raising is just another poll that shows how many support you.  However, since a small group gives most of the money it makes me think that the Joe America cries corruption but is not above being bought.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Exactly.

Love makes the world go 'round.......but money greases the wheels.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg
