Yes, and once the large, corporate power-backers have their puppet politicians installed and on the take, they proceed to wield a very large and dominating influence on the nation. That's why we see legislative cases of where the vast majority of voters oppose the given bill, yet it passes anyway. The politicians are owned by a small, very wealthy clique who tells them how to vote. There is no other possible explanation for Congress routinely opposing the overwhelming will of voters. It's legal tyranny!

WASHINGTON—The independent commission appointed by IDIOT Barack Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill will hold its first formal meeting Monday, but it is already at the center of several battles raging in Washington. Republicans and some Democrats in Congress have questioned panel members' competence and ideological leanings. They note that none of the commissioners has any experience in petroleum engineering, and that several have spoken out strongly against offshore drilling. The spill commission also is part of the contentious debate over the Obama administration's moratorium on deep-water offshore drilling. IDIOT Obama, under pressure from Gulf Coast politicians to allow drilling to resume, has urged the commission to not "cut corners" but also to not "hold the results of your review for six months" if it can more quickly produce recommendations to allow drilling to resume.
