As you might expect, it reflects the constant mindset of the Beltway elites.

A Health Care Double-header
Suzie Madrak's Suburban Guerilla piled insult upon injury this morning, in her usual, cryptic fashion, when she juxtaposed the 'sublime' (Bill Moyers) with the ridiculous rantings of a bunch of senatorial has-beens (the Dole/Daschle/Baker/Mitchell "compromise,") which she quite correctly identified thusly:

Half a billion dollars in lobbying money last year!? That makes one ask just how much profit they make off of sickness and death.

It's all lies, which seems to be the core of the Conservative message.
And the Democrats, total FAIL. Such a disappointment. They need to grow a spine and tell these lobbyists to go screw off, but that won't happen. As my dad used to say, money talks and bullshit walks.
