This should be interesting. Mike sold his wife's business to some medical company for 10X what it was worth. Now he's one of the Blue Dog Dems fighting to keep healthcare out of govt. hands. I can't wait to see where the outlying media fall here as libs will bash him, and republicans will bash him, but the middle of the roads may support him.....or they may just want to get out of the way on this one.

What bothers me about this is not that the guy is corrupt - obviously, that's a problem, but it's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that the House leadership got together and said, "Hmmm, we need someone in on this health care thing. How about Mike Ross? He's in bed with the drug companies."
It's like the amount of power you can possess in congress is exactly proportional to the influence that industry lobbyists have over you.

It's like how big a tool you are is exactly proportional to how big a tool you are.
Fixed.
