In Debate, McCain Slams Ethically-Challenged Republicans
Even John McCain is bashing the Republican Culture of Corruption that landed many of the GOP's lawmakers out of office or worse.Last night's debate:
"[W]e have former members of Congress now residing in federal prison because of the evils of this earmarking. I hear this all the time. "It's only $18 billion." Do you know that it's tripled in the last five years? Do you know that it's gone completely out of control to the point where it corrupts people?Hmmm, I wonder who we was talking about?

The politics behind it is simple; banks are lobbying the legislators to try and destroy their oncoming competition, and the legislators are falling for it. Even taking out the fact that banks are trying to take away your financial choices and freedoms so they can have a monopoly on loans, the corruption of our politics is simply wrong. Our opinions must be heard, and our freedom of choice, financial or not, should not be dampened on the soul fact on one person’s financial gain.
