Realize that politickin' is a dirty business

Now it's become apparent that Sarah Palin's personal email account, the one that has recently come under scrutiny as having been used for official purposes, has been hacked. The contents of her inbox are presently being splashed all over the internet. Including here, apparently. I hate to be a party to this type of trash, but I felt compelled to comment.

Politics are a nasty, dirty, vile business. Everyone involved with politics at the higher level had to sell their soul at one point or another to achieve their present status. They're all dirty. Yes, all of them.

We can't even trust in the standard political dirty dealings anymore. You know, Democrats vs. Republicans. This could have been leaked by either side. Either to expose her, or to garner sympathy. I wonder if they really are learning from Paris Hilton. The only bad publicity is no publicity. Oh, the whole thing makes my skin crawl.

Can't we all just agree to campaign finance reform and all just pay a buck and divvy it up amongst the candidates of all of the major parties. Once it's used up it's gone. No big companies buying candidates. No more fundraisers. Perhaps if we did this we could get some good people in there rather than A+ schmoozers and sycophants.
