How is the money being used to Buy Super Delegate votes not illegally buying votes?

(16 posts)"Any reward given to a person for voting in a particular way or for not voting can be called vote buying"
But what I was given was not a reward for voting in a particular way. We met, I arranged a campaign contribution, and then I voted in my interest. Case Closed.
Unfortunately when everyone in government is a Boss Tweed, the burden of proof lies on the shoulders of the individuals claiming that this is corruption or bribery.
The counter to your question is, "How is the money being used to buy super delegate votes buying votes at all?"
If you can come up with a pocket sized answer for that question, please let me know. As long as our governors can keep saying that no amount of money has ever changed their votes, and we accept that answer with anything short of a swift boot out the door, politics will commence as usual.
