let's take up a collection and buy a congressman's influence!

Edited on Fri Jan-06-06 09:01 AM by mopaul

or a senator's, but i'm sure that i couldn't afford to buy more than about two seconds of influence on the floor, about as long as it would take to say, "Fuck bush"!

but maybe we could all take up a collection, sort of an influence raffle! we could pick a congressman, any will do, and ask them their base flat rate for influence and proceed from there.

who's in?

1. You are not far from the truth and I agree

Money is the only thing any of these politicians listen to. We are not being represented because we have nobody lobbying for us. Anyone want the job?

2. How about instead we throw the fucker into the back of a van......

Drag him to someone's private lot that has 1000+ people in it and say "look bitch here's how it is you see all of us here? WE'RE the reason you call yourself a senator-we voted you in WE made it possible you work for US understand? YOU WORK FOR US not the other way around-we put you in and we can take you out and ensure you go back to sellin used cars to unsuspecting old ladies for a living if you don't wise up capice?

That's one of my fantasies right there....
