I'm sure it happens (e.g., Randy "Duke" Cunningham); but by and large, politicians attract money based on their positions, rather than adopt positions to attract money; because in the latter case, there's simply no need! Why change your position to get money, when you can get money without changing your position? If some politicians seem waffly, I'm saying, it ain't because of <I>the money</I> . . . <BR/><BR/>So, in short, people get the cause-and-effect reversed . . .Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.com
