Reply #24: You got that right.

Insurance lobbyists are pumping billions into the pockets of democrats now that they are in charge, just like they did with the republicans, and those in congress that want to line their pockets instead of working to help the people, are taking that money had over fist! We need to get rid of the "good old boys" club no matter what party they belong to. This is the best chance we have had in ages to do what is right for the people of this country instead of what works for the big corporations that have been running things for way to long! We need to get the message out that if they don't do something for the people, then they will be voted out of office! Problems is to many voters will stick with the incumbent instead of voting for someone else in the primaries. Also it's a lot like with Spector and the republicans, if he didn't vote the way the party wanted him to, they were going to give all the money come primary time to another guy who "would" vote the way they wanted, same thin in the democratic party, vote the way the leadership wants, or forget getting re-elected because they will back someone who will vote their way! It needs to stop, but I think the only way is to get rid of the leadership, and that is not an easy thing to do!
