[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2316391, member: 56035"] carter is short for jimmy carter fyi. wondering what reagan would say? HARTMANN: Our Supreme Court has now said, “unlimited money in politics.” It seems like a violation of principles of democracy. … Your thoughts on that? CARTER: It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. [B]Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery[/B] being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger. [/QUOTE]
