It was relieving to hear that 6 politicians in New York were arrested for taking bribes to get themselves positioned where they wanted to be with not a thought as to why they were elected. Without a doubt, there are some law enforcement officials around who care enough to pursue some of thee people. Fortunately, one man had a 'wire' on him which was missed by the person who frisked him. It is well known that there are many working the system, illegally so that it works for them and not the citizens who elected them to office.
A Reuter article described the NY politician trying to buy himself a position on the ballot as a Republican (though actually a Democrat) to get on the gubernatorial ballot. Bipartisan collaboration (3 Republicans and 3 Democrats) certainly didn't work out here for these cheats. To read the Reuters article, click here I guess you can buy elections as well as high ticket items like campaign dinners (with later benefits) if you have enough money
Cheats seem to come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and wealth. They ar hard to stamp out. Once you take away the moral compass, hang a carrot out in front of them, you can hook almost anyone. Whether you can reel them in and keep them on the hook is yet another story.
