Thanks for the post! That's why I think all this talk about campaign financing and "how much did they give" is just nonsense. How much money did Bond give Chapman to finance campaigns (its a little bit of a stretch as he didn't have to run for office)? None! But millions of dollars traded hands. Likewise with Hillary and Bill and Tyson.
Its all about money and power transfers, but not in the simplistic way that's protrayed in the media.

To add to my post, I'm amazed that people buy the stuff they read that (for example) Arthur Anderson gave $10k to so and so's campaign. $10k? That won't get you on an exclusive golf course, and you as a politican are supposed to change laws for them that will make millions? I can't see why people think a small investment is supposed to pay off a thousand fold.
