Prior to 2008 I have never donated to a political campaign before and never planned to as I do not support the scurrilous aspirations of power hungry scumbags.
The politicians, perhaps recognizing that many potential donors are likewise withholding funds, have embarked on a strategy of making such a colossal disaster of things (e.g. FNMA, 401ks/ pension funds, the economy, et al) that one cannot sit by any longer. Each new failure further increases their power, bringing huge new sections of the economy under their control and making every citizen even more beholden to them. Each new failure brings both new reasons to fund a politician to fix the problem, or to curry favor from a politician.
Therefore I donated a lot of money to several candidates this year in hopes of slowing their collective drive to destroy the country. I have no expectations that these candidates will actually create value, only that they may retard each others' progress in their collective quest to destroy the country.
Tonight I learned that one investment may pay off, a donation to Saxby Chambliss to support him in his run-off election today made in hopes of ensuring some small measure of gridlock in congress.
With failure now the goal among the governing class, its heads they win and tails we all lose.
