While Dem's are getting PAID, R's are getting BLAMED?!!
"How did Republicans get saddled with Wall Street? Obama just got the biggest campaign haul from Wall Street in world history, and Republicans still can't shake the public perception that they are tied at the hip to Wall Street bankers who hate them.
It's as if National Rifle Association members conspired with Republicans to bankrupt the country and everyone blamed the Democrats for being shills of the NRA.
<snip>
Democrats have a beautiful system: They're showered with Wall Street money, but they also get to pillory Republicans for being the party of "Wall Street." The bankers don't care if Democrats attack them. They still get their bailout money. "
Man, oh man, do we ever need to get organized before the mid-term elections.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Organize all you want. it won't do any good. R vs D is the same old, same old. Until the people are in a position of power, things won't change

Isn't Ann Coulter so far removed from everyday reality that its completely possible, factual and correct to label her as "medically insane"?

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”

Re: While Dem's are getting PAID, R's are getting BLAMED?!!
Sorry to tell you but taking campaign contributions (bribes) occurs on both sides of the isle. Much like gambling, those with money will hedge their bets and put money down on both sides of the isle. That the Democrats got more this time around has more to do with upcoming elections and seeing that Republicans were on the way out.
It's a simple bet.
But go back 6,8 10 years when the Republicans were in ascendancy and you'll find the larger portion of money was going to that party.
But both parties are guilty in not just this but most laws written. Both sides get money from the same groups. That Congress doesn't see anything wrong with taking this money is the real problem. Which side gets more in an election cycle is irrelevant.

Although I must admit, I am no fan of "politics as usual" myself, I do try to stick a flashlight into a dark corner from time to time.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.
