1) i dont know how much money either side took. i can assume from my own life experience that they are paying off anyone and everyone they can in as large of sums as they can legally get away with to hedge their bets in any possible outcome. thats usually the case.
2) his post was consistent with all other posts he makes "republicans=evil" - "democrats=love gay people so they are ok" - i was simply pointing out that in the "us against them" political debates... the "us" side tends to overlook the fact that their hands are just as dirty when it comes to voting records on issues and making those things become law.
there just are no cases where simply because one side has a majority in the house and senate that their side voted 100% one way and the other side voted 100% the other way to make something happen. it doesn't happen. they both tend to vote both ways to a certain degree and its never 1 side completely to blame... as his position is.
