Problem with the Republicans is they let people like me run the party. Democrats are smart enough to keep me banished to a political off-shoot web site. If I ran the party we'd never get elected!

Yup! Corporations are "persons" and money is "speech". Assholes!

I suspect that the majority of doctors didn't go into the doctor business because they're nice guys.

To some people being "bipartisan" means you must become their yes-man.
And I tend to believe both parties are guilty of that, but my own personal
viewpoint is that the GOP is a bit worse. Seem to be more of an "All or Nothing" type of crowd.

Who says they're not next. Only in capitalism could people get rich making money off of other people's money. They're not doing anything to advance the capacity of our economy - just taking a little piece of everyone else's action.
