Legislators are NOT supposed to get $250K from the exact people who the legislation will benefit. That is called briery. legislators are supposed to represent all the people not just the ones they get money from. Those type of legislators are called Republicans and they will be in the minority come January

Well gee whiz - can't a frickin "oil man" help a greasy political hack? After all what's a little grease between old pals . . . it's only the little people that can't take advantage of these sweetheart deals . . . think ol'Cheney will help me with a house, you know drop a note to those crazy bankers wanting "good credit"???
