You’re absolutely right! I’ve been screaming this for a long time. Selling votes is bribery and solicting bribe (quid pro qup)!! So we had the Louisiana Purchase and the Nebraska Compromise etc to get Obamacare passed and no one gave a fig. A little outrage, but no prosecutorts warmed up in the bullpen. Harry Reid went into Congress a pauper and now he is a very rich man. Hum...
I also would like to point out that Bill Clinton didn’t even own a house when he entered the Oval Office. If I remember correctly, his net worth was in the hundreds of thousands.
By the time he left office, he was a multi-millionaire. No one batted an eye at that.
And it goes on with almost every Congessman and Senator if they are there more than 10 years. With democrats, they get rich earlier. And let’s not forget about good old Charlie Rangel!
