Laws were different then, and American politicians who accepted foreign money would not necessarily have committed a crime.

No politician in the U.K. or the States will commit political suicide and let these messed up firms go bankrupt.

Any politician who openly supported such a law would be committing career suicide.

"Any politician who attacks the Catholic Church is committing suicide."

Later on this might have led to complaints about the possibility of corruption; at the time it was simply seen as evidence that politicians were committing themselves fully to their work.

We can't just stand by while corrupt politicians commit these heinous crimes.

The politicians are committing our tax dollars to help a group of rich business people, and they rub salt in the wound by opposing a public vote on the matter.

The politicians haven't committed to this adventure yet.

I've just done the worst crime a politician can commit, the reason most folk distrust us as a breed.

America needs a politician committed to cleansing the Augean stables of the residues left by the excesses of the 80's.
