In reply to the discussion: Jim DeMint-----something is very fishy here -can you help? [View all]pbrower2a
(132 posts)36. only one good thing to say about "Jim DeMented"
The Washington Post reports that he has about $40K in assets. He has not enriched himself as a Senator.
The lobbyists have more power over the political process, at least with Republican pols, than the elected pols themselves. That's one angle. The other is money. Power and money are addictive.
