Can we sell Baucus to the highest bidder on eBay? How about the entire Congress?

[imdjh]

Anybody here know how to go about that?

1. I would start with a user listing.. then put him on sale for the highest bidder..

kind of like they did for TX when the gov wanted to succeed.

2. doubt we could outbid the insurance companies

Somebody should put him and Grassley up to see what reaction it gets.

8. That's OK. They can have him

I just want him off as chair... for starters. I will trade him off for a Senator who represents me.

3. You'll need special permits to deal in toxic waste. n/t

5. Has everyone written Baucus to find out how the AMA paid for his @$$?

I did.

6. Baucus? You'd have to pay someone to take him!

:grr:

7. Baucus has already been bought and paid for

And it's illegal to pay for the same product twice.

He's owned lock, stock and barrel by the lobbyists. They are in possession of the bill of sale.

9. There have been joke listings like that.

Someone listed an entire country once.

They usually get pulled pretty quickly, though.

10. I think we should buy Baucus not sell him

I read somewhere that the insurance and drug industries had paid $1.5 million to Baucus last year and I thought - that's all it costs to buy a senator? Well, if all 150,000 DU'eers kicked in ten bucks apiece we could buy one for ourselves. If the going rate is $1.5 mil per senator per year, for $100 per DU'er we could buy ten senators, enough to make a real difference .

Shit, for $1,000 per year per DU'er we could buy the entire friggin Senate.

That's only $3 bucks a day! And we own the Senate!

If we did it for just one year we could probably undo all the fuckups that have occurred since the days of Raygun.

11. eBay TOS disallow sales of hazardous waste n/t
