It boils down to saying that corruption and lies are fine if both side get chance to benefit from them on something like an equal basis.

I assume you include bribing liberal democrats in that corruption and lies!!!

And I'm sure you include in paying bribes good Republicans approving Barry's budget and never stepping up to stop his spending.

When I was a kid a neighbor ran a small appliance repair shop and paid some guy named Guido who represented the "local merchants" $20 a month so he wouldn't have any problems. He did it because he wanted to stay in business and anything else would amount to putting yourself out of business or, at best, waiting years for lengthy processes to make up for a portion of what you lost.

That's how it works in a corrupt town so if some guy pays whoever is running for office and asks for a contribution, I understand that and don't read any sort of support that's not there into it.

So, you cast the stones good fella, but reality is one thing and theory is another.
