Corrupt Establishment GOP is Crony Capitalism's Bought and Paid for Political Arm

[Cujo0920]

As usual, Great Kazoo, you miss the point. This is not a "government is corrupt" rant. It is a call to fellow Republicans to root out sleaze and corruption in our party, which is the last bulwark protecting the interests of the middle and working classes. Far too many establishment GOP leaders are beholden to Wall Street or corporate interests with consequences that should be clear to anyone with their eyes open.

The movers and shakers in BOTH parties are too susceptible to influence-peddling from beltway lobbyists and usually make lucrative careers with their former patrons once they are no longer in politics. So how well are they representing their constituents? Eric Cantor is the poster boy of a GOP candidate who got elected by appealing to the conservative GOP base, but once in office showed his true colors and was for sale to the highest bidder. VA primary voters did their civic duty by dumping him in favor of a conservative upstart who seems to have actual principles.

The basic bottom line: crony capitalism is screwing over anyone not in the .01%.

This is my last post on the subject. Have a pleasant day. Mods, please lock or delete the thread.
