Taxpayer-subsidized stealth lobbyists: Lobbyists who circumvent normal lobbying regulations and procedures to advance the corporate agenda in statehouses nationwide on the taxpayer dime.

That's "right" folks. WE the people pay for these GOP shenanigans.

They are VERY busy in the States.

The size of the wealth of the those at the top is such that states are just the right size for them to play against each other, in time no nation will be able to stand up to the power these fortunes repersent,

The GOP push for more state governance because it is easier to buy.

So clever of them to get "the little people" to pay for it though.

Yeah well, that's a possible 26 Dems to well over 2,000 (R)epelican'ts.

Once again, there's NO comparison.

It's OK with me if we vote out all 2,026 of 'em.

Shooz the Village Idiot of OWS Forum blows it again: That's Dems in 26 states, you moron, not 26 Dems.

Then you just go "right" ahead and find them all.

"You folks", Shooz? Who are you referring to? People that - unlike you - have an IQ higher than Dubya?

We gave Ernest Hemingway shock therapy but we let idiots like Shooz have keyboards and Internet access. Go figure...

Let me know when you have the final count for both.

Until then stop with insults. It's unbecoming of a newbie.

It's a trashy puppet.

Strangely enough, this important thread has been almost completely ignored.

Remember kidz, it is WE the US tax payer that pays for these shenanigans every which way.
