Subject: Re: The excuse both parties do it doesn't work, the GOP is in the majority...
In reply to: Ace 's message, "So you are speculating..." on Tuesday, February 21, 07:19:48pm

take for example the Drug Bill, party line vote with arm-twistings by the GOP to even get a few of their own on board to pass it, they held the vote open for three hours, against all house rules. The Bill doesn't allow Medicare to bargin for lower prices from the Drug Companies, the military can and as does as a few other departments. One pug congressman who was the major pusher for the bill left congress to take a position as a lobbyist for the Drug Companies for a million a year. Now go to OpenSecerts.com and see which party and which congressman recieved the most money from the drug lobbyists and tell me that the pugs were not paid off.

Open Secerts gets it info directly from what congressman, senators and the administration have to declare. It covers both parties fairly, what you fail to realize is that the party in power always gets the $$$. It's a pug problem right now because they are the party in power and just by using the party line vote can pass anything they want. Would it change if the Democrats were in power, no. But right now the influence buying is directly on the pugs shoulders.

To make it simple, if you owned a company, would you give your money to a Democrat with little power or to the pugs that control legislation? If you answer the question honestly you will see why the pugs are in trouble on this issue.
