If the Democrats have enough votes to pass the friggin' health bill,
why are we reading about lobbyists screwing up the passage.

Surely it's not *Democrats* being influenced by those damn lobbyists!
Only Republicans, or so liberals say, are lacking in the integrity
needed to do what's best for the country.

Or maybe that's not the case.

Yes, that's the problem... They're all being influenced by the Ins. special
interest. There's just too much money floating around. This is not, in my
opinion, a Dem. vs. Rep. issue. This is a national crisis. I don't get why
these people (both sides) feel that they couldn't just say screw you to the
Ins. lobby. It would be a political hot-potato if either side took the money
and voted against reform. Instead they act like they can't get reelected
without the money. They should be using their opponent's Ins. lobby derived
finances as a campaign point.
