Hey there cossetted member of the beltway: What are you up to now?
I can see that Health car reform is just going to be like Medicare part D and the bailout for wall street. Guess those fat cats will love you now eh?
And dear old Spector, you sidled up to him as well. What are you all getting from him? Doesn't look like us ordinary dems are getting much but the back of his hand. And now President Obama has broached getting some actual factual taxes from people like KBR (Cheney won't like that!) and Citigroup and AIG. I guess they won't want to help bail themselves out will they, but they will pay you to ignore President Obama! Yessir, you guys are making out like bandits along with the lobbyists and the bankers.
If there were any justice (which Rove took care of killing this last 8 years) you would have no health insurance because you would have to represent us, some of whom do not have health insurance and you would have to do just like everyone else - pay through the nose! If there were any common sense (and more than 30 years of Rush Limbo's ditto heads have insured that no such thing exists on the hill) corporate taxes would be reduced but shelters would be outlawed. And only those corporate taxes where jobs were not outsourced would be reduced (because us taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for foreign corporations!)
If there was even a drop left of integrity running through your veins you would make sure that all knowledge about the torture program comes out. But Di Fi is helping to ensure that you do not have to work your little heads about integrity. She is busy sweeping it all under that secrecy cloak you all have gotten so fond of in the last 8 years.
But Senator, I would like to know: Why should we continue to pay you? Your lobbyists friends are doing quite well by you by helping you fund raise. And you standing ovation of Sen. Stevens showed that none of that quid pro quo is abhorrent to you but rather something you really admire.
Are you the clubby group you are because there are only 100 of you? Should we double that number and see if some of you would actually give a rats ass about those of us in the hinterland? Or should we just continue to say: "It has always been this way"?
What would make you sit up and take notice that you have actual constituents that are affected by your bills and not just those fat cats.
