Vulnerable House Democrats who supported the healthcare bill last month reaped big financial rewards.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports show the crucial yes votes cashed in between March 21 and the end of the first quarter on March 31. They received big money from Democratic-leaning political action committees (PACs) and fellow Democratic members of Congress.

Several of these members were last-minute yes votes, which helped push the legislation to passage.

It really pi$$es me off that outright bribery, kickbacks, payoffs, extortion and strong-arming are legal in all levels of government, but the same practices will get you 20 to 30 at the graybar hotel if you try them in the private sector. No wonder 80% of Americans think government sucks.

I hope they enjoy their “financial rewards” because they’ll be history after January.

Wonder what it is like to be an elected member of congress who takes an oath of office to uphold the constitution of the United States of America, have the power to help enact laws across our land and then go and accept bribes of money and pork, etc in exchange for your vote.

Is that like selling your soul?

I should think so.

This group currently running the “Congress” has taken politicians to a new low when I didn’t think it was possible for them to go any lower.
