They are just keenly aware, that for the most part, the lobbying and campaign monies that they absorb come from the same sources as those which fund the Republicans. For those dependent on corporate donations to fund their campaigns, denying the corporate sugar-daddies an opportunity to make huge profits would seem unwise if they want to be re-elected.

We desperately need public funding of all political campaigns, and major reform to the laws that regulate media. These are requisite to electing representatives who posses a genuine interest in improving our society.
