Default The lobby wins again

I see that there are 6 lobbyists for every member of congress on health care. They have spent $650,000,000 so far. 13 former aids of Max Baucus work for big pharma. I am watching Democrats scrambling to cover their asses with the left. The right are going to give up the fight. And the insurance companies are running ads saying "Finally insurance reform that works for everyone" Freakin amazing to watch.

And how many ACORN and SEIU members that are acting like lobbyists without actually registering as lobbyists?

How many of those healthcare lobbyists had 22 visits to the White House like the SEIU president did?

How about the Big Pharna deal Obama cut behind closed doors?...

That is the numbers from both sides and no I am not proud of my government. I think we are rotting on the vine from partisanship.
