MOVE ON, BUT LEAVE THE CHECKS:

Dems who condemned MoveOn took its cash (Kenneth P. Vogel, Oct 1, 2007, Politico)

Forty-four congressional Democrats who voted to condemn MoveOn.org for its ad branding Army Gen. David Petraeus "General Betray Us" have accepted more than $3.9 million in contributions from the influential anti-war group and its members.

An honest politican is one that stays bought.

An 'honest politician' is an oxymoron.

*sigh* When are people going to realize you don't buy politicians, you only rent then from time to time for a limited purpose.

Those renters are called "lobbyists", and they figured that part out long ago, which is why they started shifting their contributions to more productive clients long before the Stupid Party lost in '006. And unlike the MoveOners (but like the Clintons), they know that you gotta keep the cash flowing if you want things done.
