Why did they do this? Obviously out of ignorance and listening to the talking heads.

Dan Coats, lobbyist for fat cats, plots Senate return | Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Dan-Coats_-lobbyist-for-fat-cats_-plots-Senate-return-83904552.html - broken link)


He took a job as a lobbyist for King & Spaulding in Washington, D.C., representing banks, defense interests and pharmaceutical companies. His salary has not been leaked, but we can safely assume the job paid more than United States Senator. Coats’ clients have included Lockheed Martin, Sprint Nextel, Carlyle Group and Bank of America. His firm received $480,000 from Bank of America in 2008, according to openscrets.org.

Yes, they sure did do this. And he is oh, so much worse.

But, ya know? I'm sure that there are those who think it was worth it.

And while I am at, you mighty want to take a real good look at what you can find on Mitch Daniels before they try to bury that stuff in case he makes a run for Prez in 2012. Trust me. It will be more difficult to find.

Sadly, I'm sure most have no idea of this guys background. He's the very type that the so called Tea Partiers and others that rant and rave about big government and corruption advocated to get rid of. He must be laughing his ass off today. Shame that this nation has so many ignorant people casting votes and so many waiting in the wings to pounce and take advantage of the ignorance.

I'm sure he is laughing.

There are no jobs. There haven't been for a long time. And this state in particular has bent over backwards for business'. And they are shooting themselves in the foot. BECAUSE, he is going to make sure that the illegal immigrants are here to work the farms and other such places with no penalties to the business owner. And I am sure that there are those who really think it was worth it.

So what? Abraham Lincoln was a lobbyiest for the railroads before being elected president. That is who bankrolled his campaign.
