Re: I'm really starting to hate the telcos more and more....
Welcome to politics in the US. Government always has been and always will be by the corporations and for the corporations. Why? Simple economics. He who has the money to put into power who they want will always win.
Yes, I'm a cynic, I know. It doesn't make it untrue.
You're half right. Money buys the lobbying and political advertising, but that doesn't win an election. To do that, you need a large supply of easily-swayed people who vote based on nothing more than those ads, and we happen to have those kinds of folks in spades.
