"We're damn lucky in this country in that our politicians are only willing to be bought so far and - for the most part - no further. There's a limit to greed and corruption in the US that is barely existent in other countries and in some, not at all."
That "limit" is expanded in proportion to how close the politician is to you. The blatant "pay to play" going on at the County and City level makes Statehouses and D.C. appear as bastions of righteousness.
My Congressman is the Father of Bristoe's "mystery man". He took Charles Stenholm's old seat after the R's gerrymandered the District.
