If Senator A gets his/her briefcase of cash from Pfizer then he/she has to have the Pfizer logo stitched on the back of every suit they own. We can make this like Nascar. Senator B is backed by BP then they get the BP logo stitched on every suit. Let's call this Government for what it is a bunch of Corporate WHORES on the take.

4. And still a great idea. My favorite response to the OP on that thread was southerncrone's:
Absolutely! Some of them would need long flowing capes with trains to list all of their "sponsors".

Lol!

3. Glad you took the opportunity to vent.
When you feel better, feel free to act like an adult again.

11. Some of our sentaors may end up looking like Leonid Brezhnev
. . . the George W. Bush of the Soviet Union.



He wore a chest full of medals, mostly self-awarded.

But imagine those as corporate logos on Lieberman's chest. Or Ben Nelson's. Or Mitch McConnell.
