Of course, this thread isn't about the poor rank & file slob doing his job, it's about the big cheeses using their power to affect elections.

Now down here in Bugtussell, we call that political corruption. And we're even so ignorant as to think that anyone who gets caught doing it should wind up in jail.

And while we're ignorant, we're also realistic. Speaking for myself, if anyone goes to jail, it will be some poor, dumb bastard who was simply doing what he was told.

Don't think you are jaded. Think you are right.
