Backroom deals? No!

Let's hear it - "What about Bush and Cheney?"


This is the Willie Brown (former San Francisco Mayor) doctrine.

He says just because you take their money that is no reason not to
screw them. He had a fairly short political career. Corporate bribers
want politicians that stay bought.


You know, you really truly are not up to speed on things political.

Mayor Brown was in the California state legislature for about 30 years,
and was speaker of that state's assembly for about 15. He served eight
years as mayor of San Francisco. Term limit laws kept him from seeking a
third term.

Brown is a very, very successful politician.

That sure as hell doesn't say much for the intelligence of the
California voter, does it?

Willie had a very safe district. Same as Boxer. He always had more
campaign money than other pols and used that to buy the speaker of the house
position. Gave money from his funds to other politicians in exchange. He
was also a great crook. Never gave up his SF Law practice, and collected
about a $1,000,000 a year from the practice, that mostly dealt with state
law practice.
