How long before the Tea Party electees are corrupted?

It was like 2 days before Palin went on a party funded shopping spree and O'Donell has already been using campaign funds to pay herself.

Update:

Why does it not surprise me that a "top contributor" doesn't know the news. Try searching "sarah palin shopping spree'.

    A shopping spree.... please define. A link would be nice.

    There are campaign laws on the books.

    edit: Supportive links instills legitimacy to a question.

    It is already happening...have you not heard about Sharon Angle trying to get another Tea Party candidate to drop out of the race by making him allllllll kinds of promises, including arranging meetings with Establishment Republican Senators...supposedly people Tea Partiers are trying to unseat. For someone running her campaign as an outsider within the GOP and has said in public what she told Ashjian in private, she certainly does not have a problem talking about her "juice" with the GOP....

    Did not take her long to become an influence peddler...

    Not long. But that is a far cry better than the current scum infesting the congress today. These career criminal bastards know how to play the game and are more difficult to catch. The new ones, if they decide to be corrupted, will be easier to watch.

    And there is that long shot that some of them may be uncorrupted for a couple of years. At which point we vote them out and draw upon new blood once more.

    The very definition of a politician includes corruption, cheating, and selling out the American people to Corporate lobbyists. The instant the Tea Party got its first politician, it became corrupted.

    I believe they are likely already corrupt if they are a member of a major party running for office. It's not a matter of when things go sour. It's a matter of how long it takes before they get caught.
