List of people paid the most to over your health insurance claims?

It's disappointing to see John McCain on that list.

Not surprising though. He plays the game just as much as anyone else.

John McCain is about as much of a maverick as a tuna fish sandwich.

 

[Kayden]

That sounds really yummy... Now you better hope I have some tuna.

John McCain is a maverick cuz he's more Hillary's friend than Rudy's.

Lieberman? Just a traitor.

Seriously though, Hillary has been the biggest proponent of nationalizing health care. Why is she on Moore's hitlist for this?

 

[Dick Tracy]

$$$ (and, of course, corporations) control the U.S. -- Not political parties.

 

[MrBadExample]

It looks like they've done a good job handicapping the candidates and contributing accordingly.

You should be happy. Moore is targeting liberals as well as conservatives. You could give him just a bit of credit, as you'll kill him for anything he says about conservatives. He's simply pointing out how all politicians are being bought by these corporations.

 

[dopa345]

Those numbers are actually far less than I would have thought.

Sure, whatever. I respond to what appears to me to be a discrepancy in his targets vs. his goals, and you fire back by framing it in partisan terms. Whatever.

 

[Ugamer_X]

Just another reason why Gravel has secured my vote.

 

[RollingSkull]

If Moore has lost CNN, who does he have left?

[quote name='The Crotch']Damn, man. Don't assume that Democrat = liberal!! = Moore. Could it be that he disagrees with Clinton's health-care plan?[/quote]
WHO CROTCH? WHO COULD HE POSSIBLY HAVE LEFT?! IT'S OVER!

 

[CocheseUGA]

Isn't that list pretty proportional to overall funds raised?

Comeon guys, Mike Gravel just wanted a PS3! Give him a break
