Rachel Maddow catches republican lobbyist groups

[USAFORMERUSMC]

I wonder how much Rachel is worth? How much does she earn? What does she spend her money on? Doesnt she work for a corperation called MSNBC?

@USAFORMERUSMC And ?

@Azakhiel ~and.....I just find it funny when the partisan politics "Pot" is calling the other "kettle" black. You are aware that farmers are corperations as well as oil. The oil corperations get "subsidies" as well as farmers. Barrels of Oil are sold to refinery's as seeds & soil amendments are sold to farmers. Both refine/harvest their products for sale in the open market. Both are taxed on the profit they make.

@USAFORMERUSMC Not all corporations are equal, though. Some of them finance the elections, after all. I understand what you mean, but at least they should present themselves as corporate interests instead of private citizens.

The term she's looking for is,"AstroTurf".It was coined by Loyd Benson to describe fake "grassroots" organizations.

I love Maddow. She tells the truth and she is SMART!

[glennis3]

Rachel has a doctorate and you can tell the woman is brilliant and her education wasn't wasted!!

Give the Right Wing hell, Rachel!!

[dicklacock]

No, give both the right and the left hell.

[calebtay86]

Rachel Maddow is a journalist in the truest sense of the word!

[epiphany4z]

lol we don't have lobbyist....we are the lobbyist!!!...hahahaa..Oh what a tangled web they weave ....

And the right will use this fake populism again and again.

The media with a few exceptions won't notice this.

The politicians (the ones not benefitting directly) won't know before they make a vote.

And the GOP's base will just ignore it or make excuses. They won't get how manipulated they are.

It's a great scam. Corporations protect their profits, their bought politicians get big contributions and the teabaggers get to feel like they are being patriots even as they destroy the country.

#1 sub-prime mortgage started by Jimmy Carter, kicked further down the road by Bill Clintons nutty cabinet with cheif alligator wrestler Janet Reno the "Queen of Waco" they FORCED, BY LAW banks to start lending to obviously UN-QUALIFIED PEOPLE WHO SHOULD be homeowners, I gather because its a 'RIGHT" to own a home, Let loose Fanniemae/fredddie mac went crazy even giving NINJA loans, NO INcom No Job. even when the bank investigators IN FOR HEARINGS were hooted down barney frank,waters, et al

[holymolydude]

Everything you said is 100% wrong. Lending to the poor who can only afford to make minimum payments is the most profitable kind of lending. The mortgage crisis had absolutely nothing to do with the nonsense you posted.
