And contributors of said contributions want a return on their investment. Again, I don't think mobsters are giving money to politicians like they used to. But "legitimate" businessmen are contributing millions (to both parties) so who do you think the politicians are going to listen to? You? Or the billionaire?


We aren't talking about contributions. They fact remains the vast majority are democrats, or at least registered that way. Whether they contribute, or like Obama or Romney- we don't know.

Another fact might be judges. Judge Eduardo Robreno in Philly hands out massive sentences on nothing (tough on crime, republican appointment). You might fare better as a mobster under a dem appointee.


Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here
