A soccer team promoter gives money to then Democrat Ed Rendell and Republican State Senate Majority Leaders Dominic Pileggi.

Then the taxpayers put up 60 million dollars to build a soccer stadium in Chester.

That would be an example of “special interests.”

Sarah Palin was on the town council in Wasilla, Alaska 20 years ago when a fellow councilman proposed an ordinance to require trash collection.

The councilman making the proposal happened to own the local trash hauling company.

That’s a “special interest”

Then there’s the Merck pharmaceuctical concern, makers of Guardasil.

They gave a 6-thousand dollar contribution to Rick Perry’s 2006 campaign through a group called “Women In Politics.”

Then Perry turns around and mandates Guardasil for 11 and 12 year old girls in Texas allowing Merck to make a lot of money.
