15. There is a reason I said sold out
It's because I've been paying attention to the money trail. Much of the information that formed my current opinion was found in the book; The Wrecking Crew, How Conservatives Rule, by Thomas Frank. The fact that there is a revolving door wherein 50% of departing Congressmen are becoming lobbyists is revolting. To me there is a big difference between the Sherrod Browns and the Charles Rangels. Further, I disagree with the constant self voting of raises, and I think there should be a limite on terms served and campaign finance reform that isn't gutted by follow on legislation, such as the 527 PAC crap that nullified any purpose of McCain Feingold.
