Seems like both candidates are bought and paid for by the unions.

Whaaaa?

Berman: Laborers PAC ($4,250) and the San Francisco Laborer's Local 261 PAC ($4,200) to the California Medical Association PAC ($4,200) and California Apartment Association PAC ($4,200). Berman's largest campaign contribution so far, $8,500, comes from the California Real Estate PAC - California Association of Realtors.

Seems real estate is spending ,ore than worker's groups.

Venker slightly more so, but there's a lot of non working groups in there. Possibly you are adding in Women's groups as Unions? (c'mon - one commie looks like another, amiright?)

Or is any representation for a working man just a bad thing for you?

Don't like it? Public financing - get rid of a system that allows groups, including the wealthy, to buy politicians.
