Gas Prices, Lobby Reform and A Corrupt Congress

So the price of gas goes on up and the congress does little or nothing about it. Want to know why there is no real fire lit under them to do something about it? Because you have not separated them from the big money, the big oil money by pushing lobby reform and closing loopholes in campaign finance reform. They are still connected to the money influence of big oil. You say it has always been that way and will always be that way but when all this broke last January you had congressman falling all over themsleves promising to change this. All the public had to do was keep up the heat. Well we, the public kept our outrage about it but the media and the congress seemingly got together and orchestrated a convergence of issues, hot button issues and the public, always susceptible to hot button issues let the real culprit,lobby reform, slip out the back door. It is hardly found now. They claim you, the public made your decision about lobby reform when you put their hot button issues at the top of the list, like you would of course since lobby reform does not have such a hot button but is however a devil of a machine. This was about April. The congressman so desperately wanting to keep their perks and money favors now say you are not so interested in lobby reform and justify their lack of real lobby reform on that. Odd isn't it.

The congress willing admits it does not matter about the principle of it, the wrongness of it, the evil of it or the corruption, all that matters is whether you notice it or not.

That is essentially what congress is saying and the media lets them get away with it. The media willingly fall for congress's conclusions and refrain from reporting little or any on lobby reform. America, you are being had. And this time you are literally paying for it.
