Why are you so rough on politicians? Why are you applying your standards to them, but not to yourself? Is your argument the idea that accepting money from someone means you follow their ideas?

I wouldn't (hypothetically) take a tip from Hitler or Stalin (assuming I knew who they were) in fact, if I did know who they were, they would be barred from the restaurant. Would you take a tip from Hitler?
Get a grip.

If I did, it would not make me follow all of Hitler's policies and ideas, which is apparently the standard you want to apply to politicians. Again, why the double standard?
