It's the system that needs repair.

No it's not. It's the Democrat Party that needs repair.

California's political system is awash in lobbying money -- more so than any other state in the country. Is it any wonder that it sometimes looks like our public officials are merely cogs in a larger, smellier machine?

According to a new report from Washington's Center for Public Integrity, lobbyists spent more than $900 million on California lawmakers from 1995 through 2000. This is far more than the amount spent in any other state (with New York a distant second).

Where are all the whiny Liberals who constantly accuse the Republicans of being the party of big business? Why hasn’t the LA Times been investigating this? Oh, that’s right, CA legislature is full of DemocRats.
