Naah... there’s a difference between a vote being up for sale and a subcommittee clause insertion being up for sale. Pay him all you want, but Barney Frank isn’t going to vote pro-life and John Cornyn isn’t going to vote pro-choice... but either one would race to get their contributors a cut of any pie that’s being Dole-d out.
Is that because they hold those opinions dear, or because they know if they went against them they would be out of office in double quick time, and no one would be paying them anything again?
