Maybe you should ask Vulcan, since he is the one that suggest, without any proof(at least I haven't seen it)....that ALL the people opposing this health care bill, including the blue-dog Democrats apparently, are doing it because they are involved financially. I.E. the same argument Vulcan made time after time when it came to the Iraq War.
Well, apparently Obama and his administration is tied to all of this financially as well, but that is okay....cause they are the 'good guys.'
As for me? I honestly don't care. Considering Obama has basically outright broken his promise in regards to lobbyists and their influence on Capital Hill, its preposterous to suggest that nobody is going to have ties financially to ANY bill they legislate and vote on.
Its also stupid to paint one side as being good and decent, despite or in SPITE of those financial ties, but vilify the OTHER side for THEIR ties, when both are at fault, if there is to be any fault found.
In truth, it would be impossible to walk around Capital Hill and find one Congressman or one public employee who didn't have ties to numerous private entities. Obama was a decently wealthy man before he even dreamed of running for President, and like all wealthy people do, he more than likely invested his money into certain companies or industries that would provide him with a decent return. So obviously, during the course of 4 years, and the hundreds of bills the President has to sign, or veto....he is going to become involved personally.
