This is a portion, not the full Krause-like cut and paste:

"McCaskill’s announcement Monday is the latest twist in a political
scandal that has dogged her for the past two weeks. The expensive
fiasco clashes with her self-made image as a reformer and good-
government advocate during her first term in the Senate. McCaskill has
now shelled out more than $375,000 in payments to cover the cost of
the plane flights and back taxes, a series of events the senator
herself has called “embarrassing.”

On top of this, McCaskill signed on in February as a co-sponsor of
Senate legislation that would fire federal employees if they are
“seriously delinquent” in paying their own federal taxes".

WOAH!

Thats a crap load of moeny!

hows this stuff happen anyhow?

It happens because of the huge amount of money required to run a
successful campaign. Until both sides agree to reform the system, this
isn't going to change.

Of course, if you want the full story, you actually have to read the
article.

One of the best ideas I have heard of is o make political contributions
and favors a federal offence with up to a $1,000,000 fine per offence
including some jail time. Profitable to catch is the idea.

On the income tax your first $ 100 goes to politics. You, the taxpayer
have to decide where it goes. You can say 50% to State republicans and
$50 to Ron Paul if you like. This is the sole source of party/candidate
income other than their own money. And you can change your delegation
EVERY year so if you decide Obama is a all talk no action jive turkey,
you can switch.

The idea is to take out the corruption in how Obama got so much money at
the last month or so when it looked ike McCain might beat Hilary.



Sheesh...just what we need, a semi-senile old fart as president with a
nincompoop uncurious woman as his veep.

Why? Are you fleabagger lefties scared of a democratic type of way of
government? Ha....
