Lobbyists Now Own Republican Party:

Campaigning to reform the Grand Ol' Party after the Abramoff/DeLay scandal, the Republicans elected John A. Boehner as House Majority Leader. Turns out Boehner sold his soul to the lobbyists a long time ago. He's spending all of his time raising money from the lobbyists, making DeLay look like a piker of corruption.

The Ohio Republicans who "fixed" the last presidential election are in bed with every lobbyist they can find under any rock, including the tobacco industry, that bastion of health oriented folks who brought you cancer as a central part of the American Way. Good job, party of Lincoln.

If democracy belongs to whomever can buy it, who do you think will own it in Iraq? Not the Iraqi people, that's certain. We don't even own it in the U.S.
