We all know the politicians are bought and sold by lobbyist who contribute money. Wow. What news this is. Been around since there were positions of power. Old news... Old news... Just a new event in... Old news... Demicans and Republocrats, all of them, all of them bow to those loving lobbyist.
This is the real thing that is going behind the scene. The lobbyist are making tons of money form their connections. I have heard of cases where people pay lots of money to be in the white house.
Yet people say, "nothing to see here, just move along." And when someone comes along to advocate real system change, e.g., Ron Paul they are maligned.
