Pay-for-play in America?
Hopefully your Christmas went well! But for Big Labor, Christmas came a little early, say November 4th. And apparently the situation in Illinois was just the tip of the iceberg (h/t NetRightNation):
The group is called Americans for Job Security, and frankly I hadn’t heard of them before I was alerted to this commercial. (Apparently this spot is intended for the North Dakota media market, such as it is. Reminds me of the Delaware media market, except North Dakota is much larger geographically.)
Regardless, AJS is on point in believing that there is a payback anticipated for those millions dumped into Democratic campaigns across the country; dollars that found their way to a whole lot of Congressional races including our very own First District battle. Big Labor ended up donating six figures to Frank Kratovil’s victorious-by-plurality campaign.
As the situation in Illinois slowly resolves itself, perhaps it’s time to revisit the “culture of corruption” theme the Democrats used so effectively in 2006 to unseat the Republicans as the majority in Congress. As Lord Acton famously noted, “Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” We have a number of examples in government everywhere which prove Acton exactly correct, but Illinois is one where the light shone and the roaches scurried for cover.
