If you want a powerful lobby, in first place is clearly the government workers (NEA included), but a close second may be the corn lobby. See above.

See above. The corn lobby is also very predominant in the sweetener sector. They make syrups and additives of all kinds. I should have said sugar/corn lobby. I'd like to know the full extent of ethanol influences on gasoline and food prices. The way they may be diverting food crops into fuel tanks is disturbing and we know that production and the chain of supply will follow the money. Starve or Drive? As for the Government workers, well, that can be a real rats' nest. It's reminiscent of an interview with one of the churchmen in Rome. A reporter asked him 'How many people work here in the Vatican?". The Bishop replied "About half of them.". mike

They are the ones who select SCOTUS "justices" that believe in a "living Constitution" that is interpreted differently depending on popular opinion of the time,instead of WRITTEN LAW,the basis for the Constitution. If you value the Constitution,you don't vote for people who select such judges. DemocRATs are the party of Michael Moore and George Soros,the Party of "progressives" that are actually communists bent on destroying the Constitution,when not simply ignoring it. DemocRATs are the ones who believe in a World Government,in UN supremacy,subjugating the US to "International Law" coming from a corrupt and biased UN. the worst Republicans are the ones who are RINOs,who lean "liberal". Like McCain. I believe you may be willfully blind. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com
