Bribe:
Money or any other valuable consideration given or promised with a view to corrupting the behavior of a person, especially in that person's performance as an athlete, public official, etc.

To try to influence the actions of (public officials, especially legislators).
What is being used to influence public officials? Money.
Any questions?

@davidkendall What do you propose should be done? Do you believe money should be able to overpower the people? It's fine and dandy to have people complain that demonstrations do nothing. What other recourse do we have? I think it's worse to do nothing.

If you repeat a lie enugh times it will beccome the truth, so join me in saying "Lobyism is bribery"

The oil barons lose? The transnational media corporations fold? The lobbyists are expelled? The corrupt governors get recalled? When we speak up, we get what we want?
When did all of this happen, Thom? Governor Scott Walker might be on his way out. But even that still remains to be seen. Your claims seem unfounded. In fact, exactly the opposite seems true.
As OWS demonstrates daily, political protest is pointless and impotent without economic leverage. See MLK on "constructive coercive power".

Thanks for posting.

Not very far into this vid, but who the F cares if ABC airs an uncorroborated interview right before the election? People can assess the interview and make their own decision. Also, how the hell could this ever be "corroborated."

@Pianophile57 While I don't support the "fuck somebody" sentiment, I do support the creativity with which you expressed it!
