It is really beginning to look as though the road to Hell is one-way.  They don’t even have to break the laws—they make the laws.

I would guess Ted “bridge to nowhere” Stevens of Alaska.

I can’t say why,but this has the smell of “Turd blossoms"all over it.

Why should anybody be surprised at the decay of
of this action. To expose govermental contracts is to expose all the hidden agendas of the super rich and powerful interest groups in this country. The public’s right to know is no longer important in Congress. This mysterious
senator is only playing his/her part in their contempt for our system of goverment.

This crooked senator will be “smoked out”. The pressing question is, how could one remains “mysterious senator” under this supposedly democratic society?

We all know which dictators made what laws but we don’t know which crooked senator made what law in the democratic US of A?

“Only in America”

Smells like a Hatch-et job to me!

This story has had me punching my table all morning!!  I’m furious!!  PLEASE do more on this story!  PLEASE.  I’ve called Senator’s offices, media stations; nobody is talking about it.

“There is no conceivable, rational explanation for killing this legislation unless they have something to hide.”

Capitalism as we currently understand it probably wouldn’t work without insider corruption to grease its wheels and too much transparency would break the circle-jerk of power and wealth.

As for uncovering the secret senator…expect a brief flurry of shrugs and perplexity from Congress and then some new revelations about Jon Benet and… it’ll be like it never happened.

these crooks can still get around all of this even if it does indeed pass; they will create companies and channel money in more sophisticated ways, and bury the kickbacks, etc.  It’s a great bill in theory, but these people will always create loopholes.

How can a bill just be ‘blocked’, when has this been done before and under what circumstance? Truthdig should start a big dig!
