That last sentence I agree with. Both Parties' leadership regardless of what they are supposed to be for seem only to care about the money. It's all about their own personal money trough.
As though anyone stays up at night worrying about a stranger's money.
That's in the democratic party platform.

No, I worry when the Powers that Be are only concerned with getting more of that stranger's money rather than say running the government, or seeing to their constituents needs.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Maybe, but nowadays it seems to be more pay to play were ever you go regardless of political affiliation.

See, all about who is paying who. It's an obsession.

And I obsess with pride (if it's me you're referring to?) Or is it in reference to the politicos' obsession over their pay (bribes)?

Whoever fills their wallet gets to tell them what to do, not who voted for them, or what party they belong too. So I'm going to worry about their wallets for a bit more time.
