CMD Reports Natural Gas and Money, a "Bacteria that Ills the American System"http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FS5r3ewNYRykmDL8uO0v5eMtzBAEnG8B by Steve Horn

Money, plain and simple, is what Salon.com blogger Glenn Greenwaldhttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3Z8HzJnFvS3EOwXoeYcoPOMtzBAEnG8Bcalled "the bacteria that ills the American political system" in a talkhttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YXh171UwM4MZ%2F%2F9nKudZmuMtzBAEnG8Bgiven at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on November 3, 2010. Indeed, when looking at issues individually, one can see that this is obviously the case, whether it be health carehttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3JLOTJrOAiR0lAGipSiDHuMtzBAEnG8B, Wall Streethttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=emmsvp%2FnKdSLa2eKlGpZiOMtzBAEnG8B, warhttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=kMN%2FKZifrrym1evjIye2yuMtzBAEnG8B, or on national security issueshttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Kfb80oclXd9JroAzwPia1OMtzBAEnG8B.

Should anyone be surprised, then, that every statewide race in Pennsylvaniahttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FNC8wo2PDfO3LUOLpfJh5OMtzBAEnG8B, a state in which there are no limits on campaign contributionshttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zwkMezzIYrhJwizYOlJpV%2BMtzBAEnG8B, was ruthlessly barragedhttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Py5OEhmWILlpQo2GmRkcvOMtzBAEnG8Bby campaign money from oil companies? If you're surprised, you clearly haven't had your eyes open during other election cycleshttp://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=VUrJ0R%2F4DwtlIdo1jdUpIOMtzBAEnG8B .
