(62,325 posts)We know who the enemy is, they are those who have been bought, an entire Party called the Republican party by the REAL enemy.
Republican Koch/Wall St owned politicians are merely the puppets of the real enemy. They do their work within our Government.
Now some in our party are being bought by the same enemy. Big Money, it doesn't come without conditions.
So, logically, if the enemy offers you a bribe which will help you get elected to a powerful position, do you think that comes without strings attached, that they are merely being altruistic?
And the more they give you, logic says, the more they want from you once you get into power.
Since I consider money in politics to be the first and most important issue we are facing right now, I will be looking for a candidate who has taken the least amount of bribes from the real enemy.
Naturally that excludes all Republicans who are all heavily funded/bribed, by that enemy.
So we are left with our own party. Some of whom are as heavily funded/bribed by that same enemy, because that enemy is neither Dem nor Repub, so they will buy as many politicians as they can.
Litmus test for me now, and for many other people, is 'look at the money, follow it and decide, what is it buying'.
What can you buy for 2.5 billion dollars?
So I'll be focusing on Congress and the Senate, where we still have a chance to overcome that massive amount of money and kick out those who have shown us with their votes, what money buys and replace them with real representatives of the people.
