Its just a shame they can't break their addiction to special interest money & take on these big companies. theres really no excuse for the way the repubs are in bed with big corporations. they are so in bed they will sell out their own idealogy (bailouts) to make them happy. If the repubs can't recognize there is a role some goverment can play in solving problems, then we need a third party.
