Seriously, you would rather have your country run like that??I would rather have lobbyist regulations...... oh wait... my country already has that.

Note: the Democrats "banned", but the Republicans only want a "moratorium" -- presumably, one that ends once they're back in the majority.

I read it. You need to become aquainted with archaic English. "Let his days be few" basically means "let his life be short."So yeah, monvalley just wished death on Barack Obama.

That is exactly why congress sucks, and so rarely serves the people as a whole. Buy votes, get elected. Repulsive cycle.

no I am pointing out the hypocrisy of this administration, there is a reason to complain when these shill promised change and have not yet delivered anything new

Do you think the founding fathers intended that to give more power to multi-national corporations than American citizens?

This is a ruse, you can bet all of their special interests will have a loophole.
