If you want to know more, the question to look into is, "What am I going to do about it?"
Here's another: In a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll the other day, 14% of Republicans and 12% of Democrats approved of Congress'es performance. 57% said they'd like to throw EVERYONE out of Congress and start over.

Jake Tapper commented those contributions were not given for the "fun of it" and insinuated votes were being bought by these contributions. Does an ...
