"Bribery and graft are the Liberal method of gaining support ..."
Bribery & graft, variously defined in legal and illegal forms and every shade of gray in between, are the lifeblood of lesser politicians everywhere. In fact, IMHO Canada comes off better than average on the worldwide corruption scale. We certainly have our own vile examples, many walking around D.C. as free men today, although one can always hope that the law will eventually catch up with them. Basically, power corrupts. I'm neither cynical or bitter, just a realist.
