I'm not that cynical.  I know there is a lot of corruption of all kinds, and there always has been in every society in all of history, but I don't think every single winning politician is corrupt.  Unless, of course, you are using a very very broad definition of "corrupt."

What definition of "corrupt" are you using that would make every single winning politician "blatantly corrupt?"

A politician that is not corrupt is one who only ever accepted money from people who were 100% transparent about who they are and which policy changes they wanted that politician to try for.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
