Why can't the House and Senate develop and implement ethics rules that will prevent the members of these 2 bodies from being so corrupt. For instance, members of committees have huge influence on bills that will significantly improve the lives of their constituents, but perhaps negatively impact the profits of companies or industries, that provide huge contributions for the re-election campaigns of these House and Senate members. A Quid pro Quo- between the health insurance companies impacted by the health care reform bill and contributions to House and Senate members who try to block this reform; especially the Public Option.
How long will the voters of Indiana and Connecticut vote for Bayh and Lieberman who have promised to block the health reform bill despite the fact that a large majority of Indiana and Connecticut voters want the health reform bill and the public option. However, Bayh, his wife is making big bucks from a health care company and he accepts large contributions from the health cre companies; like Lieberman who has accepted millions of dollars for his vote.
When will people get excited enough to do something about the corrupt politicians in the House and Senate.
