Many folks, myself included, are concerned about big political spenders and their influence on our representatives. Bribery of the legal and illegal variety abounds. The problem exists on either side of the political divide though the clients may differ.
I suspect that just about everyone will agree with the sentiment expressed in the preceding paragraph. Now for some partisanship.
I can't fathom having a political philosophy that espouses bigger government given the rampant problem of legislation for sale to the highest bidder. If legal and illegal bribery is a huge problem, and none of our representatives out the criminals or aggressive influence purchasers, (when was the last time a pol contacted the FBI, set up a sting etc.... ) then don't we have a symbiotic relationship between big interests and our elected representatives? On what basis then should we hand over more power and authority to folks that we suspect are corrupt?

None, except that each of us are being bought also.
Sad but true anon.
"we suspect are corrupt?"
Denis, time to omit the words "we suspect".

PS: I've been enjoying your most recent debate with that loony lefty over at KBR. Excellent work.
I've been working on a circa 1920's style "FIGHT NIGHT!" boxing poster of Denis v Sean... I love Photoshop!!!
That's a mouthful!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
