How of much of this is TARP money? Nah, that wouldn't happen, would it?

Not public financing of a political party with money that is supposed to be used to cut unemployment and create jobs?

And the beat goes on.

Stands to reason that when the Party of No gets all of that money from special interests, they know which side of the bread their butter is on. It would be nice if Mr. Kantor and Mr. Boehner would think of the people of this Country before their great benefactors, but that would be too much to ask for from these Bozos.

This is why we need 100% public funding. As long as we openly allow big, billion dollar corporations to buy off politicians, the US will continue to be the corrupt beast it has become.
