Why pay for a politician, anyaway? Go find a prostitute: she is more moral, less hypocrite and won't cheat you on your money!

You know what'd be funny, if all the impressions of politicians that Cenk does is actually how they talk and act. LOL

Kent these partitions keep getting paid off to a point they will be like on a record player. ok follow me what happens to a let's instant you put a penny in the middle then set the record player on 45 what happens text it slides off eventually right that's what I think about politicians

[yauyyb]

opps, you are right. In that case, I would make one more adjustment to the laws in my imaginary world. "All campaign contribution for an reelection is deemed illegal" Too bad these are all just imagination :(

What they can do is get you reelected.

well, that capitalism in its purest form. Kinda like pure cocaine, awesome in the beginning, but it'll kill you

Hey, Anyone heard of the Phantom Cash System? (do a Google Search) Ive read many incredible stuff about it and my neighbor made loads of cash with it!

[LordOfTimeAndProg]

You may think endorsements from private interest groups are corrupt, but that's not what's putting our politicians into office. Our govt buys votes from the poor through unconstitutional entitlement programs using money that's not even theirs. THAT'S corruption.

I am a reflection of you.
