If just a million Democrats gave an average of $100/month, that would be more than the corprtations could ever match.

If you're reliably anti-tax, for example, how are you "corrupt" if people support you because of it? Nowhere in this article does the NYT explain how any of this is bad -- "it just is." "Look, politicians get money!" No shit. But there's a difference between corruption and law-breaking, and receiving money because you consistently support the same things. Isn't there?

He's their kind of boy: crooked Republican politician (just like the governor and Rep. Ney), money grubbing crook (just like big Republican fund raiser and criminal, Noe), and a favorite of Bush and the Republican criminal enterprise that infests our Congress and the White House - - and Ohio. Of course, Bush doesn't mind if he's a criminal, just so he brings in the money from the lobbyists for the Republicans. If Boehner pockets a goodly chunk of the lucre, that's OK. Just so he keeps up the good work. Helluva job ! Boehner is just LOVED by the voters of Ohio. He’s their kind of boy: crooked Republican politician (just like the governor and Rep.
