No interest in secret super committee negotiations.

[sad sally]

Not a peep about what the secret committee is doing; so much for transparency, but check out some of their fund raising. Think they have any influence? Nah.

Rep. Fred Upton (Mich.) received PAC contributions from the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Academy of Otolaryngology, the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the American Chiropractic Association in the weeks after he was named one of three House Republicans on the 12-member committee on Aug. 10. Since then, Upton has raised more than $180,000 from PACs, according to a fundraising report he filed Saturday with the FEC. That includes nearly $70,000 from healthcare-industry PACs.

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), another member of the supercommittee, has raised more than $130,000 from special-interest PACs since being named the panel’s co-chairman on Aug. 10.

Rep. Dave Camp (Mich.), the third House Republican on the supercommittee, raised $705,000 in total contributions in the third quarter of 2011, including more than $475,000 after Aug. 10.

Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) has collected over $41,000 from healthcare PACs since joining the supercommittee. That amount exceeded the $32,000 he raised from all other industry PACs combined since Aug. 10.
