This is how big business keeps tight reins over politics. Once in power, any representative is free to abandon all their promises for social change in the interests of the people in favor of business interests, and they have been doing so consistently for well over a century now.

You already know the answer to that, since I answered the same question twice already.
I posted to quick...my error, bitch slap to the right!
Couldn't agree more with ya on the special interests! THATS why we need limited terms on these people. Your lifers in congress and senate run the show and waste the doe! It's easy for these fucks to be on TV supporting one thing when their voting record states an alter ego.
When Jesse Ventura was elected in Minnisota he was loved by the people because of his policies he wanted passed. To bad the state legistature douched him! When you vote for a President I'm a believer that you vote a strait line ticket so the dude has some support with like ideas. If Jesse would have had the privilage of that, he may have turned shit around.......MAYBE?.!??...Who knows, I'm stoned!
