The system is corrupt because it encourages extortion and backroom deals

Exactly! As the years go by it seems more and more elected officials care less and less about integrity and ethics. Not only that but more and more of them are blatant about it and thumb their noses at anyone who might question them. These people are in both parties but at present the Rats have a corner on the market.

You're right, the corruption is not confined to one party. Nor is it confined to only one house, Reid and Pelosi are equally guilty. It's time to end a system in which unscupulous men can personally profit by selling their votes.

Can a few men stand up and say "I'm changing my position. I'm not undecided, I'm just not gonna tell you how I'm voting. And a lot of my peers aren't telling either.

And those who still want to work under the old system, I'm saying: That's not possible any more. Vote your conscience, not your wallet. Do what's right for YOUR COUNTRY."
