Grayson: Caligula's Horse

[kpete]

..... The way things are going, Big Money will choose our “leaders” in Congress, and they will serve at Big Money’s pleasure.

Big Money doesn’t put horses in Congress. Just the hind-quarters of horses.

For the past few weeks, we have sent e-mails to our supporters showing how Big Money is trying to select – not elect, select -- the Congressman from my district. Big Money has now spent three times as much in lying TV attack ads as all of the money that my Republican opponent has raised. Big Money is going all out to replace me in Congress, because I can’t be bought.

Big Money doesn’t care who replaces me, as long as he’s pliant. It might as well be Caligula’s horse.

We are at a turning point in our own history. What will we be? A government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Or a dictatorship, ruled by the Empire of Money?

1. Got this same email this morning. Grayson tells the republicans

what they are. It sure is terrible that we don't have more like him and Franken and several others. If we did the republicans wouldn't be able to run congress they way they do.
