Nefarious. People running for office wanting to be elected. What's next? People responding to want ads because they want a job?

Where did I say Ignatieff went into Canadian politics for the money? Its always been about the POWER. It was the Liberal moneymen who talked him into doing it but it wasn't about the money (although I bet the Liberal party did sweeten the pot a bit to help him decide)... he came here with one intention only. Become the leader of the Liberal party and by right of succession, the Prime Minister of Canada (when Iggy came back to Canada, the Liberals were the governing party).... and there was no secret about it. Everyone knew what his plans were. It was the worse kept secret in the history of politics.
