United states, and this weekend colorado Representative Ken Buck talks about corruption in washington and his plans for reform. I dont think its wrong to expect members of the house to raise money for the party to try to win the majority. The same thing with the democrats. I think that is just part of the reality of politics. Its not my favorite part of politics, but it is part of politics. What i find offensive is the linkage between raising money and assignment to committee, raising money and a chairmanship, raising money and being in leadership. I think there has to be a meritbased system in place to decide who gets on what committee. If youve been a doctor for 30 years and you show up to congress, you have an expertise, and that expertise needed on the energy and Commerce Committee or on another committee. It is not whether you can pay more money than the doctor. That shouldnt be the determining factor on whether you make this committee or not. After words airs on booktv every satu
