I've always heard it called the "good ole boy network." Not sure about this new thing they're saying. I think they are trying to make us think they are normal but they screwed up... again.

They have one in my county. The same people who run the local football league and baseball league run the Democrat and Republican Parties, and they have all known each other since high school, and use each other to get positions of prominence. Most of it is innocent friends helping friends stuff, but the larger the scene the more likely there is corruption involved.

Sarah Palin cleaned up the "good ole boy" network in Alaska. That is what he is referring to. I can only hope the "good ole boy" network she's talkin about are the neocons in washington. tones

Did you hear Obama's comeback? I have to give him credit, it was really funny...

"The old boy network? In the McCain campaign, that's called a staff meeting."

Yeah, that was pretty funny. Dr. Paul even complimented Obama for going after McCain.
