Depending on their lengths of service, etc. I once supported building a massive luxury apartment building for them so that they could not use the excuse of having to support two homes, one in D.C. and the other in their districts. It would be a massive cost savings to them and then they couldn't whine about that issue. Of course that idea went no where.MissouriDemocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601903002852569236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-35388203937970811632008-04-24T21:48:00.000-05:002008-04-24T21:48:00.000-05:00I agree with eclecticvibe. Its because he does not take money from PACs. In the grand scheme of things, it could not be viewed as bad a Hillary Clinton's finances being in the hole, even after she lent money to herself while accepting PAC money. Sounds like Orentlicher, actually getting donations from many individuals and himself, has a little higher public support than someone who either: (1) get all their money from PACs; (2) has to foot all of his own bill; or (3) rely solely on contributions from close friends and family. I think Orentlicher has ran a good campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-42362827843986375522008-04-24T21:10:00.000-05:002008-04-24T21:10:00.000-05:00I am Art Fuggins and I am not Wilson46201.....although there are times when I agree with him and times when I disagree with him.artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-33937529097200488822008-04-24T19:20:00.000-05:002008-04-24T19:20:00.000-05:00Hoosiers for Fair Tax, what makes you think politicians have ever run for office for the salary it pays? I can't think of too many public officials who ever ran for office because of the salary. Believe it or not, there are people who believe in public service and trying to make a difference.<BR/><BR/>Orientlicher makes an outrageous salary for very little work over at the law school. That he has to fund his campaign is sort of just desserts.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899023066910200507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-78455823990528823582008-04-24T19:11:00.000-05:002008-04-24T19:11:00.000-05:00You had earlier said that Wilson was prohibited from posting on your blog again, and even earlier than that you had said that Wilson was artfuggins.
