    I am thinking 26-28 trillion by the time they finish paying off the unions, elderly, welfare queens and green energy bunch.

    Only someone very politically nieve would believe such stuff. Anyone who knows about politics, is very aware which party buys the votes, and it's not the Democrats. Looks like someone needs to do some research on political history.

    And how pray tell, do "special interest groups" eclipse the general population? I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next tin foil heat wearer, but c'mon... if your side loses in a free and fair election just accept it.

    How much are they paying? I could use the extra cash, ya know? I have a special interest vested in the survival of my family. So, I'm not above taking money from the bast@rds that have taken food from my children's mouths.

    I thought that was Boehner pandering to the tobacco lobby on the house floor. And the tea baggers are snorting one hell of a lot of Koch. Corporations are free to give as much money as they want for their special interests to keep them rich and the rest of us screwed.

    Don't be silly, special interests buy the votes for their puppet.

    Its the republicans that buy votes and rig donation laws so they can cheat the system. And still they lose.
