The Dem base wants to see action against the Wall Street highrollers. So what do the party elite do? Investigate? Nope. Instead they party with the 1%. And let them pick up the tab. I am a buyer and strictly limited in what I can ethically accept not the case in Washington where cash and gifts are handed out like matchbooks. Barack Hussein Obama pledged to change this seedy side of DC. Looks like we will have to wait for the next guy to take on this issue instead.

Guys...Shut up...Unless we get campaign finance reform you'll never ever see ANY politician anywhere who is not a corporate whore..I think our local dog catcher gets money from Pet Smart to run on...You guys are like babes in the woods...Just figuring out things my grandkids already know..You cannot get elected to anything in America without corporate money and Obama has been backed by the banks and big finance houses in Chicago since he was a "community organizer".....I posted it on one of the boards the very day after his big Democratic convention speech that catapulted his career 12 years ago .. Meeb posted that he is a big Rock Star and I posted "hold on just a minute, he's not pure as the driven snow now" ......Now 12 years later the light bulb lights up in Martins head and tells us all something weve known forever....This happens all the time here...Ignorant Dumb****s

"While the American family has seen increases in the cost of food, health care and education, Mr. Adelson says, “those costs don’t compare with the cost of buying a politician, which has gone through the roof.”
The casino billionaire points to his group’s study, which puts the cost of purchasing an average House member at two million dollars and an average senator at several times that.
'And let’s say you buy a Senator like [South Carolina Senator] Jim DeMint and he decides to quit,” Mr. Adelson says. “Good luck trying to get your money back.'"
from Billionaires Warn Higher Taxes Could Prevent Them From Buying Politicians
Six billon dollars spent on the campaigns this year. Wow. Insititute a new rule? For every dollar in donations, another dollar has to be spent on reducing the debt. Sad thing? Six billion is only a few days of federal spending.
