[ARC5] RAT and RAT-1: The Arizona Connection

[J. Forster]

If you tempt someone with high ethics, thay say "No thanks".

Politicians always say yes, to the highest bidder usually. In fact, it
amazes me how cheaply they can be bought.

We've seen Congressman go to jail for under $100,000. State Senators for
about $10,000. They are low grade streetwalkers, not even high class call
girls.

Disgusting, IMO.
