If a person or business in her constituency wants to use legal campaign donations to get her attention, fine. If that legally benefits them and, in this case, their employees and shareholders, also fine. My problem is when she (and other liberals) who do it then accuse conservatives who do the exact same thing of fostering a "Climate of Corruption". Of course it's corruption, but a relatively mild form of it. And IMHO you're never going to completely eliminate corruption in government as long as humans are involved in the process. The best you can hope to do is to control it. You know, much as I despise Billary, I really don’t have a problem with this (though, unlike the NYT, I’m not ready to nominate her for sainthood).
