Not one of them feels an appropriate level of remorse.

This smug prick thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. In fairness, he was usually around other Republicans ...

Do you think the reason why Democrats don't stand up and repudiate all the crap lies and preposterous crap Republlicans say is because they have the same donors as the GOP? (I just can't believe it's true. But I can't undertand why Democrats are so SUPINE either.)

I'm sure a craven, lying hypocrite like Lyin' Ryan should knows others of his ilk when he sees them.

Oh no, not necessarily all the same ones (although both parties donate to Wall Street firms), but when you see that 63 members of Congress have violated a law designed to stop insider trading and prevent conflicts-of-interest, and 32 of them are Democrats - a slight majority, you can start to see where the problems lay.

And in March Nancy Pelosi disclosed her husband's new batch of investments, which include $2.9 million worth of Apple, Disney, PayPal and Amex shares.Her husband, Paul Pelosi's job? - financier.Now of course you cannot blame her per se, but I am SURE that some of Paul's money gets to her 'occasionally'....

As I said above, I do not dispute that Pelosi has done some good things, but when nearly every Democratic voter complains about the Repubs and their 'dirty' money, and ignores these extremely easy to find facts about the shit some Dems are doing (and have been doing for several decades), it explains why I say that both major parties are corrupt, but clearly the Republicans are WAY more corrupt, and is the reason that I am a progressive liberal independent, forced to vote for Dems for obvious reasons.

As for Democrats supine? They are bending over backwards to give money to big business, the stock exchanges, and their ilk.

I still think they could speak up more. When the preposterous crap comes along. I KNOW they could-- esp nowadays when-- who could blame you?And really you don't see them advocating for oil and gas-- or do they do that secretly? Oh-- I'm so bummed out. Everywhere I see some example of dolphins saving human beings or some beautiful natural thing being destroyed, and then an avalanche of horrible people. You know what I mean. Poleaxed.

Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan walk into a bar. The bartender serves them tainted alcohol because there are no regulations. They die.

I honestyl don;r know if any Dems are owned by oil and gas compnaies, but Manchinm who IS a Democart is owned by the coal industry and probably has limks with the prescription drug industry, of which his daughter is a member.

As for if some do these things secretly, I'd bet some are - how many and how much they get I do not know, but if it walks like a poltician and talks like a politician, it proabably take money like a politician.

Without revealing the details, our alleged liberal former Dem mayor has had more unnnecessary and uneeded expensive buildings put up whilst touting the Green New Deal - mostly new premium hotel chains, with supposedly low-income housing that are more expensive that larger spaces in older buildings and houses. More in fact than the last five previous mayors combined. I always call him by the last name Trump (not his real name) not because he's as vile as TFG but because he's fucked up property in the whole area such that people are moving farther and farther out of town (some to other counties) because of the rises in rents

Recently he resigned to take a job with a DC organisation, and just in the last few weeks, the city council are going to investigate him for using that same group he has fled to, to do studies on how to change the local police and paid them outrageous amounts of money to do so, which I guess the former mayor's idea of a green new deal...

Oh holy fuck! Although what Hinajosa is is exactly what I meant. I didn’t know they also had a mayor. As for Gohmert I like my version better. Even if it was wrong.

I suppose if he's a guy with those leanings, it only helps him to actually be a Democrat. Still you know-- you take a man like Sen. Whitehouse, when I see him speak up, he's always pissed. He's smart. And you know, when some candidate says "I've pledged never to take PAC money-- that's the person who'll be tormenting me daily: I'm begging you, Ginger! I hate them very much. Also, "Ginger voted for Trump? Sign in to correct your voting record!"I guess I can at least look up these peoples' donors. Thx
