making promises to corporations and their lobbyists in exchange for $$$ that will get them re-elected. We all know they don't do the job they were elected to do, which is legislate. Hell, they can't even take time out from selling themselves to the highest bidder to read a bill let alone write one. They even have ALEC paying them to legislate for them.
