Poll question: What % of Democratic Politicians do you feel are bought & paid for? |
|
Simple Question but transcends...?
I can think af a few that I would say are not... But only a few that I would say are straight up.

At first I was surprised you didn't have a category for "other". But when I thought about it, I kinda guessed what you were getting at. Well done.

4. I'd say that most are good people - so I guess about 30% are opportunists |

9. I figure that's about right |
|
There are 40 in the House that might as well be Republicans and I figure maybe 15 or so in the Senate that can be counted on to enable (or vote with) the far right on a fairly consistent basis.

5. Anyone who votes other than 100 % isn't paying attention |
|
ALL politicians in some form or fashion are bought and paid for.

12. Many paid for (like all politicians, except less big business for Dems) |
|
I think that most are paid for and all have funding influence their decisions, but that doesn't mean they are all necessarily "bought"
So I put 90%...
