In fact, over his entire congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson’s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics OpenSecrets.org database. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.

Among Wilson’s top contributors are the American Hospital Association, a lobby group that represents the interests of hospitals and health networks, and the American Medical Association, which represents physicians.

1. yes this has been true of all town hall disruptors - they are being paid

and are owned by the health care industry

2. His outburst was bought & paid for by his corporate industry masters. Thats the problem, once you

accept their tainted money, you can't complain later when they demand you perform health care fellatio on their behalf.

4. Those aren't exactly "large" numbers in Federal politics.

If you want to call him a "darling" where does he rank compared to OTHER Federal politicians, preferably other Congressmen on taking health insurance dollars?

He's a moron and a rude jackass to be sure but I think it might be overstating the case to say he's health insurance's "posterboy".

5. You may be correct that compared to ' other ' federal politicians, his contributions aren't exactly

as large as some others. Yet, like so many unforeseen twists of poetic justice in our daily lives, Heckler Joe might have unwittingly ( by his own jackass actions ) become the new ( bought and paid for) health care poster boy industry shill.

7. Whats your point? Do you have one?

8. Does the President accept money from Healthcare corps, and take advice from its lobbyists?

[Segami]

9. May I suggest that you start your OWN thread posting that question.

[Romulox]

10. Hey, you asked.

:shrug:

[Segami]

11. Maybe you have short memory retention that needs to be nudged back into reality.

What exactly are you asking when you posted:


#6 - " Now do Obama! "


Are you not asking that an Obama's health care industry contributors list be generated just as Joe Wilson's was listed on the RawStory article? Is that correct or not?

12. "Does the President accept money from Healthcare corps, and take advice from its lobbyists?"

Look at the post two above yours. :hi:
