@Tennessean: It was a “rhetorical” question. Now, run along & look up rhetorical with that dictionary you’re clutching. You weren’t asking me anything. Now don’t be so condescending because I see right through you. As far as Nero, what the hell are you babbling about now? You are dying for me to say something to you to get kicked out of Mario’s blog. I noticed ... See all content

Anomaly, this may be difficult for you to comprehend, but a Question Mark (?) at the end of a sentence normally indicates it is a “Question” and not a “statement”.

AARP, the Pharmaceutical Companies and the AMA, to cite just a few, stand to make huge financial gains from Obamacare. Do you think they didn’t pump money into support for this travesty?

@Tennessean: I did not say “They gained money ONLY from insurance companies” did I? You can’t deny that a lot of them (Democrats included) made truckloads of money from them & that is putting their financial gains before us, the voters, THEIR voters. Their priorities are distorted.

@Frances: I just looked a few of them up & you’re exactly right. They had money before they were in a political office. Of course, there’s always money that was gained by the well known politicians from the insurance companies. They made tons of money from then, which should prove they have only their interests at heart. Republicans don’t seem bothered by this.

It’s kinda obvious how Jay Rockefeller acquired his. It’s also pretty easy to research these people and see where their money came from. I know Warner was an entrepreneur before he was a politician.

I’d like to know the same thing as….Tennessean!! What’s happening to meeeee! I would like to know *how* they acquired this wealth, but probably for different reasons than TN. Also, don’t you really feel for #25) Kenny Marchant (R-Texas)who makes a meager $27,363,295? A mere pittance! The poor guy.

How many of them acquired their wealth AFTER they became Public Servants??
