It's sad that our political system has come to revolve almost totally around money. I have donated both in the last election and this one. I finally came to the realization that the only way I could make my voice heard was with my wallet. Unless we reform our system to one of fully publicly financed elections (with no exceptions and loopholes) our politicians will always need to look to get money from private sources, and those sources always expect something in return.

It's interesting that you do not wish stereotypes placed upon your own thinking, and yet you seem to be unable to use the word Liberal without preceding it with the word elitist. Well I don't believe conservatives are stupid, but if you mindlessly keep referring to me as an elitist just because I hold different values, then I might change my mind.
