5. Then why did Clinton support the Bankruptcy bill?


Before she was elected to the senate she opposed it. Then as a senator with so many banking lobby contributors she supported it. But when push came to shove she was absent when the vote was taken so she couldn't be accused by either side.

We, as voters must learn that as long as we allow candidates to beg for bribe money from the corporations, we will get nothing but corporate lapdogs for congress critters. Human nature has not changed for millenniums. Remember what Will Rogers (?) said: "An honest politician is one who stays bought." Ours resell themselves every election cycle.

There is only ONE way to change the system so it's more responsive to the voter: Public financing of elections. No change will EVER be possible until we take the profit motive out of elections.
