Just all be thankful we dont have the American system here, where you have to be a multi-millionaire to buy your way into politics and a seat. For example, George Sorros, in an article in Saturdays Dominion Post is quoted as having donated US$27.5 million to campaigns to bring about a regime change at the last presidential elections, and he was accused by the Republicans of trying to buy the presidencial election. But that is just par for the course in the US of A. |

Like the man said,you don't make jokes,you just watch the government and report the facts. |
