Lets get real here. The congressmen who vote against healthcare reform do so because they make their living off of the drug and insurance lobbyists. If we took all of the money the dems have spent pushing for reform, and all the money the repubs have spent against it, we could probably pay for coverage for a large percentage of the uninsured.

Amen, brother Dick!!!!

No, they make their living as Congressmen ($187,000 a year plus benefits) What they get from lobbists is bribe money( which is legal as that body has the power to legitamize crime)

If we took all of the money the dems have spent pushing for reform, and all the money the repubs have spent against it, we could probably pay for coverage for a large percentage of the uninsured.

Amen, brother Dick!!!!


And that enriches these people ,how?

This lobby stuff is really a mind blower; all the big boys have, as the media cowardly refers to, as "powerful lobbists" to bribe an elected official to vote for or against something that enriches them personally, always to the detriment of people that elect him/her to not allow this to happen.

Now, if they can do this crime legally, why can't ,say dick,be a lobbist for those who sell "grass ' etc. and dick not be arrested, all he has to do is to "lobby a police chief/mayor,and by the stanards in place already in DC, Harrisburg,; neither dick (for representing the drug lord nor anyone can be arrested if they are doing nothing already being deemed legal)

whats good for the goose should be good for dick too.

Kucinich and Conyers both introduced health care reform legislation in either late 2003 or early 2004 - i can't remember exactly when.
