Tom DeLay and Denny Hasturt: Special Interest Whores

Tom DeLay and Denny Hasturt wouldn't let an extension of the assault weapons ban come to the floor for debate, let alone a vote. The NRA drew them aside and whispered sweet nothings in their ears, and being the eager whores that they are, they promptly rolled over and spread their legs squealing, "Do me! And do me, NOW!"

With this act of blatant political prositution, Tom DeLay and Denny Hasturt proved, unequivocally, that America is no longer a nation of the people, by the people and for the people. America is now a nation wholly at the mercy of corporate interests, a situation exacerbated by this Administration and its Republican cronies in Congress.

Never mind that some 65% of the American people WANT the assault weapons ban to remain in effect. Never Mind that law enforcement agencies all accross the country support extending the assault weapons ban. Never mind that some 57% of GUN OWNERS support the assault weapons ban. Never mind that a MAJORITY of Americans, gun owners and non-gun owners alike support tightening the ban The NRA, with its siren song of more campaign contributions, renders all of that moot. A parliament of whores...Indeed!
