Politicians are Funny

I was watching MSNBC tonight and I was laughing more than I do when I watch a sitcom. Our politicians today are desperate and resort to scare tactics and organized chaos. If you just watched the news and removed all references to the United States, you might think that all of this was going on in a third world country.

There are lobbying companies that are sending out letters to Republicans giving them step-by-step instructions on how to disrupt any town hall type events that are showcasing Democrat politicians. The news footage clearly shows these people threatening speakers in the crowd and harrassing the politicians to the point where they can't even get a word out of their mouth. This is funny, but it is also very scary.

On another note, a program host was going down the list of several politicians that are against Obama's healthcare plan. Every one of them has received campaign funds from the pharmaceutical/healthcare industries. And the host was not biased either. He pointed out both Republicans and Democrats that are voting based on the money they have received. This is no laughing matter. Our elected officials are being bought by large companies who have something to lose based on the healthcare plan. I know that this is nothing new, but it is scary to see it happening to such an extent.
