|  It's called politics - other congresscritters getting Cable$
Is this really news? Congresscritters get lobbied. Other Congresscritters are getting money from Cable companies to block the bill. It has been this way since 1800. If you want to play, get a group together; collect money; and pay your favorites.
The rich(rich people & rich groups) run the world, they always have, and always will. You can complain about that, but it won't change anything.

When the law is bent so far AND out in the open, people will complain and change will be forced.

Bernie Ebbers didn't think he could go to jail for Worldcomm/MCI. Shilling and Lay didn't think they would be arrested for Enron either. |

And if you want him out then voting against him is the thing to do. But if you REALLY want him to lose than you better form a group, organize, and get off your ass and do something. Because if you don't, and he has more money for TV ads(a given for incumbents), then the average voter(who are morons and vote based on TV ads) will put him back in office. And 95% of incumbents are returned to office because of their money advantages. And the 5% of incumbents that lose usually are: convicted while in office; arrested pedophiles; or up against an opponent that has a personal wealth of at least $500 million.
Good luck!

More daily nonsense rhetoric from the resident, out of touch, free-market extremist.

They made the cardinal mistake. They cost other rich people and groups a lot of money. And they are getting paid back for that. Hate to sound cynical, but that is the way the world works.

I moved out of Illinois (well, one of the reasons) because just about every politician is crooked beyond belief (the former Gov. just got convicted ... on many counts, current Gov is being investigated and the Mayor of Chicago is "always under investigation" ... though you have to love Mayor Daley, it is Chicago after-all and you gotta love it when he blows his top) The state of IL. notion of constructive and effective broadband development is to form a committee (broadband task force .. which the Gov. does not support ... but the Lt. Gov leads) Go figure that one out !
BUT ... Illinois has some strong guys in DC who can "bring home the bacon" ... yea right, I'll believe that one when I see it. All the IL. politico's in DC (other than Obama) are part of the same machine that is causing this whole mess ... all the money is going "through" Bobby R. in my opinion in order to shelter DH and his cronies.
I'm a cheese-head now so gotta bash IL. whenever you can or they give you a ticket up here ... was part of an oath they make you take when you get a new drivers license  |
