so, you bought influence? or did you donate because they already had expressed opinions you supported?have you ever donated money to a politician or a cause?First of all, I said the articles "backed up" my assertions, not "proved" my assertion.
Second of all, they were paid large sums of money by the insurance companies, much more than other Democrats in fact, and now they are doing exactly what the insurance companies want them to do.
While that's not infallible proof that they have been "bought", it's certainly a strong indicator that they have.
Thus my claim is in fact partially substantiated. They took the money and are now doing their bidding.
Even if the evidence is circumstantial, it is evidence.
Yes, I have. My point was not that the congressmen in question received money, but that they received substantially more than their counterparts from particular sources.
