The ones that break the law,yes, but you didn't say "corporate"
you said "special interests"

Hollywood,
Left wing special interest

evengelical Christians,
Right Wing Special interest

Corporate sponsorship is far more problematic as their motivations aren't about left/right values, they're about profitting off biased legislation that affects workers, economy, environment, and free market.
Corporate sponsorship, Corporate interest & Special interest are 3 different phrases that mean 3 different things and are not inter-changeable terminologies.

"Special Interest is a term that the left in America has used to demonetize any one that they disagree with, Special interest is nothing more than Representative government.






What do you call "special interests" then? Millions of supporters donating their funds? Corporations? churches?
Yes, anytime a group of people come together to affect Government that is "special interest"


Just the fact that money has been risen isn't necessarily pandering to special interests,
I already know this, you are the one who apparently believes,

Special interest = bad.

this evil group is commonly referred to as "special interests".
Only by the left, here I'll say it again.

I've never read any of your posts before, Ozarks. For all I know I may agree with you on many issues. All I'm saying is, this isn't a very good way to get your point across.
Perhaps you don't understand that words have meanings, & their meanings matter.
