They wouldn’t buy votes now, would they?

Politicians <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/04/20/build/state/71-votebuying.inc" target="_new">trade votes</a> for their own pet projects. [sarcasm]How horrible[/sarcasm]. What, do they really think we're so stupid to believe this doesn't happen every day in politics? Just the <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/886-Screwing-Us-Over.html" target="_new">other day</a> it happened for a dinosaur park or some such malarkey.<br />n<br />nWhat I find interesting is that the bill that is going to singly handedly save Montana's economy, the ethanol bill, needed this kind of dealing to get passed. Maybe it wasn't such a great thing after all but just got passed by trading votes. <br />n<br />n<b>Whatever trade one is in, one will find some fault with it. Chinese proverb</b>
