It is money, money, money! Not ideas, not principles, but money that reigns supreme in American politics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Money is the fuel that makes political victory possible. Sadly, folks, in many cases it's more important than ideas. And this is what turns off so many people to politics.
Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.
Money in politics is a huge issue.
At the end of the day, I think the most conservative principle there is, is giving people a dollar worth of value for a dollar worth of tax paid.
The greatest power is not money power, but political power.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world.
Good ideas are the backbone of good government.
Money has always been in politics. And I'm not sure you'd want money to be completely out of politics.
A fundamental American question is, 'What's the big idea?'
