Gotta Dance With Them That Brung You

Once again, the Repukes have shown who has them by the twig and berries. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/06/gop-opposes-pay-limits-on_n_164544.html A bunch of real progressives, this crowd. If you were wondering why all this money was handed out to the bankers, no strings attached, one needs only look at the following: http://www.followthemoney.org/database/IndustryTotals.phtml?f=0&s=0&g%5B%5D=6 Since the year 2000, the "financial industry" has given 1 billion, one hundred eighty-five million dollars in campaign contributions to elected officials. That is $1,185,000,000.00, the majority to the Repukes, at least until it became clear they would be voted out, then they started giving more to Dems, although the majority of the cash still went to the Repukes. Talk about "pay to play".
