And they always say republicans get all the defense money.
Why does Babs Mikulski need campaign money? It's not like she has ever had a serious opponent. She could spend less than $10,000 on a campaign and still win.
8:43 - for the damage she has done to the whole country...she really needs to retire!
what? defense contractors donating money to elected officials' campaigns? I'm shocked. Shocked I say. Is anyone else making contributions to elected officials?
How can this possibly be?

"They" also say it's the republicans who are in bed with Big Business and nothing could be further from the truth. The democrats walk around with their heads shoved up the butt of the corporations, the large ones that is. The large corps want to get rid of all competition and have just a handful of them controlling all services, trade and commerce. The democrats want this as well because then the workers are more controlled.
8:43 She puts it in her pocket, like ALL politicians.
Keep cheering.
If she puts it in her pocket she sure doesn't spend it on herself for makeup, stylish clothing, hairdresser, etc.
