Sure. Why not? You, that are against this idea, seem to forget that by default, we are all greedy capitalists here. You don't vote for somebody that is going to turn their backs on you, personally / professionally. When your guy wins, it's time to extend the hand that made that "win� possible. Ya'll seem to forget that we're in a war here. As in any war: to the victor �goes the spoils, which is, an opportunity to punish your enemies and reward your friends and allies. Corruption? ����you say? In Chicago, they admit it. In the Twin Cities, we're too namby-pamby to even think about it. In a capitalistic society, which we are, we prefer to think of (we have thousands of "polite" names for it)bribes, kickbacks, payoffs and "risky" loans as something "sinful", when in reality, it's nothing more than "business" as usual. It's who ya know and who ya pay. You can't have a capitalistic society without it. See Tom Goldsteins' post. Crapitalism��How do you like it so far? Russ (The Truth) Hanson.
