Both parties are corrupt. It's our system of mixing private enterprise with government spending. It encourages corruption.

With regard to the current scandal, just think about this: What is more appauling....the fact that the governor was trying to get paid millions of dollars for his appointing someone to the vacant Senate Seat, or that a line would probably form of people ready to pay millions of dollars for that seat.

Why is a Senate seat worth millions? Why do large corporations donate millions of dollars to political campaigns? Are they just dumb, or do they know that they will get a large return on their investment? And if they do get a return on their investment, isn't that corruption by definition?

I am more inclined to believe that selling senate appointments is the rule rather than the exception, and this moron just happened to get caught.
