Steroids=Campaign contributions.
I say campaign contributions are to politics what steroids are to sports.They use the same excuses when they caught,they give them different names to make them seem less harmful or illegal.As long as the person looking to influence the congressmen uses a sham entity it's all legal.So that gives them all they need to stand up and say "I'm Not A Crook",when everyone knows they are.Same way these guys that hit 70 home runs out of the blue can stand up there and say I didn't take steroids.Too bad there isn't a piss test for integrity.
It's all in semantics.Since when did ethics include looking for ways to make unethical behavior look ethical.This will continue until we,the American people hold these people accountable for their actions.What are the chances of that happening?
