Our Corrupt Comgress

M&P: Seems like Hillary Clinton has killed Campaign spending limits for good. The Mccain-Fiengold Bill was really doomed before it got off the ground anyway. That bill was just lip-service for the public from Congress. They won't pass any meaningful campaign reform until "We the People" make them. Getting back to Hillary, she has already managed to amass over 100 million for her campaign war chest. People are predicting that this Presidential campaign will cost over 1 Billion dollars. If you ask me, I think that if you counted all the 527 committee money and all the money that doesn't get reported, it want over a billion in the last election that Bush managed to steal again.

I am so tired of corporations running this country. It's not just corporations, its also the unions (they are actually losing ground) and the special interest groups. Those are groups such as the AMA and the Association of Petroleum Retailers and PAC's like American Family and other groups that lobby and influence lawmakers. They have gone so far, that the Congress is putting forth a resolution where lobbyists cannot text message congressmen when congress is in session! Give me a break!

The MainStream Media (MSM) acts like we should be concerned by the lobbyists taking our lawmakers to lunch or giving them a free flight to Jamaica. That's wrong, but it isn't the big problem. Not when you're talking about $50,000.00 in campaign donations.Do you know how long it takes for a lawmaker to come up with $50,000 ? Think about it. Hillary already has $100,000,000.00. Damn! Who can run against that? Another fat cat, that's who. This is why we get saddled with big mouth buffoons in politics that are well connected. The majority in Congress are filthy rich. They are not like us. It's true, as Susan Howatch said: The Rich are Different. They don't have the same problems that we do. Do you know how many working class families saved any money last year? Let me tell you, -1%. That's ridiculous. This is where they want to keep us. EXXON-MOBILE made more money than any corporation in history last year. The Washington Post estimated that they made about 33 Million dollars a minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They can well afford to give money to Hillary Clinton and any politician that will do their dirty work. Human nature being what it is, there is a lot of dirty work to go around.

Everyone complains but nobody does anything about it. This is not exciting enough for them. They may believe that the things they are involved in are more important, but as far as activism goes, there is nothing more important than Campaign Finance Reform. It is the big kahuna so to speak. "The Reform that Enables All Other Reforms". Get the corporations and the special interests out of government, we get our representative democracy back. Simple as that. These people in Congress don't worship any God. Money and Power are their Gods. They act nice and try to be overly friendly and want you to like them, so they can screw you out of your last dime! They are in this for themselves. Call me bitter, call me jaded, call me anything you want to call me, but if you research where the money is, you'll call me correct! These people are the scum of the Earth. There are a few good people in Congress. Dennis Kucinich, Jim Webb and a few more have a conscience. They won't be President though. They don't have that killer instinct and don't know where all the bodies are buried. Our Congress is corrupt through and through. Unless we take the money out of their hands that they get from these Corporate Slavers, we will never get an honest country. Is that exciting enough for you?
