Do you really, truly believe only the Democrats do that? Our entire federal government (and much of the local government) is run by the highest bidder. They should be required to wear NASCAR like uniforms with sponsor logos and instead of a (D) or (R) after their name, have the initial that stands for the industry that donates the most to them.
Imagine how much more informative news articles would be if when they covered topics like offshore drilling, tort reform or regulation there was an (O)il, (A)ttorneys or (F)inance beside a senator's vote.
Make the puppeteers public so we know who our representatives are really representing.
