- _delirium 16y agoWell, he did just win reelection two weeks ago (by a large margin), so isn't facing another election until 2016.
- tomjen3 16y agoDoesn't matter - if politicians realize that their constituents are willing to pay to keep them in office when they go against corporate interests, we are going to see some real change in Washington.

- Calamitous 16y agoThis sounds like a cop-out to justify a lack of involvement. Corporations do have a lot of money compared to individuals... but where do you think those corporations get that money from?
- stoney 16y agoThat's an interesting point to ponder - do corporations really have more money than private citizens combined? Aren't corporations ultimately owned by private citizens? Certainly the wealth of individuals is spread more thinly and so is harder to mobilise for a particular cause.
- whimsy 16y agoThere's an important distinction between the set of "private citizens" and "private citizens willing to donate funds to government officials." The latter is a much smaller subset of the former.
