Yay, my Dad refused a bribe, er sorry... "DONATION"
Was sitting down to watch the ball game when some woman phoned. There's a company that wants to build a big development who wanted to "donate" to his campaign. He just told them politely he doesn't accept donations from companies, unions, non-residents or people doing business with the city.

Yay Dad!

1. He's just selling out to gain the votes of people who don't like sell-outs
Fucking transparent in his transparency.

2. WTF! That's defeating the whole purpose of being in politics.
Unless dad's just playing hard to get, in which case I like the cut of his jib!
