Never mind the puppets, go after the puppet masters

This post goes out to Joshua Micah Marshall, Alex Pareene, Mike Elk, Dan Froomkin, Kevin Drum, and any other reporter who wants to take a swing at this.

Never mind the House Republican Caucus. They are puppets doing what their puppet masters want. There is no point with arguing with or even reporting on the actions of puppets. It is just ridiculous.

Any Republican who does not obey the commands of the Club for Growth and ALEC can look forward to a primary challenge. So who are the club for growth? Who specifically? Who is the executive director? chief lobbyists? junior lobbyists? political consutlants? social media team? And who funds Club for Growth and ALEC? Who specifically? These corporations have names, their CEOs have names, so who are they?

It is long past time to scrutinize the corporations who are sabotaging American democracy.
