1. Can you number those? I can pick just one but have a few on that list.

[L0oniX]

2. Pay me for political influence and ...oh fuck it ...your wish is my command.

[Autumn]

4. Checks in the mail. It has to go through citigroup first. Okay 4 6 8 and 9

and I like 1 also. 9 was strictly sarcasm on my behalf

[LWolf]

3. 1, 4, 6, & 8. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

5. My morals are not exclusively about money.

The choices are all about money. Yet the question is about political morals. I do not agree that all morality in politics is about money.

[Raine1967]

28. I really like your post and it deserves to be highlighted.

I can't morally vote in this poll for this reason. I personally have a problem with my morality being associated with money.

[bigwillq]

6. Both parties have sold out.

Most politicians have sold out.

Government is broken.

[hifiguy]

7. There is one party only - The Money Party

The only differences between the ostensible Repig and Dem wings is that the Dems will give on a few social isues where money and political power are not involved - reproductive rights, same-sex marriage, etc.

The economics of both wings are the same: Fuck the People and Serve the Wealthy. The proper name for this system is "feudalism."

8. Sadly, the space where morals and politics intersect is small.

Most candidates I vote for are the lesser of two evils.

As a radical social justice pacifist and radical environmentalist, political candidates who think like I do are rare.

[L0oniX]

9. If a politician votes for bills that hurt common people I say they are politically immoral

[malokvale77]

10. I went with pass...

because I couldn't decide between #1, #4, #6 or #10.

I'm not use to so many choices. Usually I get to choose from evil and not quite as evil.

You have my head spinning.

[RiverLover]

11. #9 cracked me UP!!!

Thanks for the giggle.

[tabbycat31]

12. In an ideal world (

Big money won't matter. But if one side is spending like a drunken sailor then the other has to (by default) or they look really bad.

[L0oniX]

13. late night kick

[Aerows]

14. I'm absolutely terrified

of people that chose option 3, and pretty certain they already have co-opted the party.

[L0oniX]

17. + ....my thoughts as well.

co-opted the party

[Blue_Tires]

15. Other: Robb is a dingbat...

[L0oniX]

19. That should have been (1) ...sorry but Robb has been alerting on that...

NOT

[BainsBane]

16. People only just figured out they live under capitalism?

What country did you think you were living all these years? You suddenly figured out in 2014 that the state serves the interests of capital? You're shocked the Democrats represent business interests? Does know one learn any history?

My political "morals" have to do with social justice. They don't revolve around the contests among political elites that are the sole obsession of many here.

[L0oniX]

18. Jeeze ...and I just remove you from ignore. Enjoy your snark with the others.

[BainsBane]

26. If your habit is to put people on ignore who write what you find inconvenient

That goes a bit toward explaining why you don't understand the nature of the capitalist state you live under.

[RedCappedBandit]

20. Our system is set up exactly so that moneyd interests have sway.

The amount of integrity required not to be a sell out, at least at some level, is basically unattainable.

[MineralMan]

21. #7 - What does the House have to do with SCOTUS appointments?

Last I heard, it was the Senate where confirmations happen. The House has no role at all.

I passed, by the way. I don't vote on push polls.

[L0oniX]

22. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_house

Try some more.

[MineralMan]

23. Here in the United States, we call our upper legislative house the Senate.

If you capitalize House, you're referring to the House of Representatives. Pretty simple, really. The House of Representatives has nothing to do with Presidential appointments.

Unless we can regain control of the Senate, no progressive SCOTUS justices will be successfully appointed by any President. That's just one of the reasons that elections really matter. We lost the Senate in 2014. We didn't have to.

[L0oniX]

24. You ...can call it whatever you want "in the United States".

Ya know what I don't need to see or respond your crap anymore.

[MineralMan]

27. I call it what it's called.

Putting me on Ignore will solve the other problem.

[LanternWaste]

30. Take comfort-- there's always a person (sometimes more than one) pretending to be clever.

Take comfort, - there's always a person (sometimes more than one) pretending to be clever. Usually though, they're the only ones who actually believe it.

[olddots]

25. whether you're rich or poor

Its good to have money .

[Raine1967]

29. My morality has nothing to do with money.

For that reason I won't vote. Had you added that choice, it might have been a poll I wanted to vote in.

[L0oniX]

32. Money can and does corrupt people which is IMO a moral hazard.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

31. Morality + Politics = Rarity
