[Senator Clay Davis]

Accepting campaign contributions on the assumption that you will provide a favor later on isn't corruption? Obviously the proof of any Wildrose corruption won't conveniently come to light after they are already in office. Thats the beauty of accepting contributions rather than bribes. You need money to get elected, no doubt (as evidence by the 100s of PC and Wildrose ads....and zero for NDP/Liberal).

I'm sorry but politicians aren't some noble bunch doing something great for society. If we had term limits and no after position perks, politics would be a more noble calling. Why is it something most people think is boring (the political process) so appealing to some people? I've never seen a politician go poor interestingly enough...
