I think everyone here is missing an even greater point. Regardless of the motivation, it is stupid to donate anything - time, money, etc. - to ANY politician or political campaign. Never mind the fact that they're all liars and cheats; we need to stop funding these idiots and make them all stump on an even playing field.
He's right. The only way we can change our corrupt political system is to completely check out. If we all just stop caring, the lobbyists and monied special interests will feel uncool and won't try to influence policy decisions anymore. Apathy 2016!
