What a shame. What you're saying, basically, is that money buys the Presidency. How low we've sunk if that is the case.

It's been the case since the American Revolution, my friend. This country was established not by peasants with pitchforks,or even religious zealots, but by merchants mad about their taxes. They respected God enough to put His name on our money, but their politics were mainly motivated by money and remain so to this day.

WHEW! Now that's a new historical twist. Are you saying that only merchants paid taxes?
