Unfortunately there are some politicians that have more connections than others and yes it does take money to run. However no matter how much money you raise or how many Hollywood hobnobs you con to get the money doesn't change the way others will vote. Personal experience has been which ever candidate that is being funded by most the A list actors is someone to stay away from come election time. You see when they don't have any real views of their own and they are like fish floundering back and forward. Supporting the war not supporting the war. Changing their mind like Actors change relationships. Having opinions that don't make any since just like alot of the movies. I know that this isn't about the movie industry but next time you see an actor supporting a candidate watch close and see how floppy the candidate's views go back and forth depending on the people they are around. I know who I am voting for and no matter how much money they have raised will not change my vote..Get the facts about each candidate and make an informed decision don't rely on who has the biggest bank roll..Give the real canidates with their own views a chance, they may not have the glamor of some but get the stars out your eyes
