According to Open Secrets, Harry Reid is # 3 in receiving money from Health Professionals,
# 4 from the Insurance companies, # 4 from Pharmaceuticals, #1 from Lobbyists. He's ahead of chuck Grassley in every category.

Anyone want to take a wild ass guess why we're having so many problems in the Senate?!?

3. One of the funniest things in the world is to hear a politician argue about which bribes are legal
and which are not, as if there was some moral distinction between the two.

Harry Reid is craven and disgusting.

5. Now we have the question of how much money he steers to other Senators.
That might explain why he is the Majority Leader.

9. Harry Reid is craven and disgusting.
Has he ever been anything else? It would be hard to find someone with less of a spine than Reid. A leader he is not. :thumbsdown:

7. Senator Ron Wyden is third favorite of "Health Professionals" right there behind Harry Reid.

Right behind Wyden? Arlen Specter.

12. So, tiny badges, or do we have to elect only obese Congresscritters from now on?
If it were limited to Corp.s who gave only 500K or more, sure, it would look like Nascar, but the little guys'd get pissed off if not represented.

On the other hand, the idea of making them wear their corporate sponsorship would certainly clarify the difference between (D)-corp and (R)-corp for a lot of Americans who, until now, just don't get it.
