  • ANNA PAULINA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS COMMENT!   I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE A FOLLOWUP THAT CONTAINS THE SAME LIST, BUT A BETTER COPY (READABLE) , AND SOME EXPLANATIONS AS TO EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS!   ANY WAY, I GOT THE GIST, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE!    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

  • Just imagine if the US Government made lobbyist payments to political officers and candidates ILLEGAL just how much less we would all pay for medications and healthcare!  This type of activity is what has so corrupted our government at all levels and it needs to STOP!!!

    • COL, ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

  • Lobbyist of all kinds own our congressional representatives (at least most of them).  Sorry to say it is human nature.  How does anyone think that they come into congress with very little and exit being millionaires.  Unfortuately they are more politician (focus on partisan gain, popularity, poll-driven decisions, compromise for expediency) and statesman (focus on Unity, moral leadership, sacrifice for the greater good, even if unpopular).  I think we need term limits for all of them, not just the President.  The idea that a congress critter would leave his business and serve a short period of time in the government (as was envisioned by our founders) is long gone.

    • Well said, Martha. 

    • MARTHA, EXTEMELY WELL SAID, AND IT POINTS OUT HOW CORRUPT AND EVIL THE AVERAGE POLITICAL LEADER IS!   I AGREE TERM LIMITS APPEAR TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT, BECAUSE, AS YOU SAID, IT IS HUMAN NATURE!   GOOD COMMENT, THANKS FOR POSTING!   I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE HOW MUCH BETTER OFF THE COUNTRY WOULD BE IF ALL OUR POLITICIANS WERE HONEST, IN STEAD OF JUST TRYING TO ENRICH THEMSELVES!

    • Agreed

  • That much is clear. It has also been rubber-stamped by each member who invested in what I call DARPADODPHARMA.INC.

    Where is our Republic? Where is our representation? Where is any sign of morality and responsibility to us?

    MIa.

    • Jea9, it is truly disgusting!   I cannot even imagine how much better our country would be if all politician were honest and followed Gods ways!

    • I know. What more is there to say.
