Senators Authorizing Syria Strike Got More Defense Cash Than Lawmakers Voting No



Senators voting Wednesday to authorize a Syria strike received, on average, 83 percent more campaign financing from defense contractors than lawmakers voting against war.

Really? Considering what has been going on, this was expected to be the scenario.

Limited strikes? Hah : ABC: Syrian Strike Could Be ‘Significantly Larger’ Than Most Anticipated
Well, looks like they have messed up again, hope they enjoy their money *eye roll*...




Committee members who voted to authorize what the resolution called a “limited” strike averaged $72,850 in defense campaign financing from the pot. Committee members who voted against the resolution averaged $39,770, according to the data.

Democracy has been bought and paid for.

Money and politics shouldn't mix, but it has been that way since the infancy of organized society.

I would argue for greater transparency when it comes to any politician and private donation...

I could rant about this big time but in review it's expected somehow. The pry bars we used to get the rock uphill eons ago have evolved from physical tools to concepts of fiat design. "What goes down miles away I couldn't give a sh*t about, I'll go along, just give me the incentive/envelope". The clouds of corruption have rolled in too slowly for us to objectively remember the the sunny days of times gone by, and even then the weather forecast was bad for those who kept tabs.

Makes sense I figured that was what Obama's handlers offered them.A cut of the action once there were US basses in Syria.Now,we know why they are pushing so hard for this their donations will disappear with a No vote.
