I don't know if we can ever get money out of politics.

I do, you can't. But in the words of Jesse Unruh, "If you can't take their money, f*** their women, and then vote against them, you don't belong in politics."

I believe I can live with campaign finance disclosure. But I still wonder about those cattle futures...

Agree.

But, because those cattle futures were a done deal she had concluded long before she ever sought office, that deal would not have required "disclosure," at least I don't think so.

And, it was "her" trade way back when, not Bubba's, at least technically, - so it didn't hit his disclosure either.

Most crooks are congenital crooks, and they're gonna connive and finagle all they can to avoid rational disclosure.

Just like the cattle futures, the people are gonna have to smoke out these charlatans and expose them for who they really are.

Disclosure is kinda like Gun Control.

The good guys will disclose truthfully, giving up their privacy.

The bad guys will not disclose truthfully and they lose nothing - not even their privacy.

Until they get caught -- which, eventually, they will.
