Democrats, not just Republicans, in Bed with Business

I just read an editorial by Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post suggests that corporate sympathy is embedded in the GOP's DNA. This was in response to Congressman Barton's apology to BP CEO Tony Hayward at the hearing last week (or was it the week before?).

Seems to me that Ms. Marcus has already forgotten about how much Goldman Sachs has invested in the Democratic party since Bill Clinton was in office. Or, how Senator Dodd received a below market interest rate loan from Countrywide Credit. How about Barney Frank touting Fannie Mae in 2008, saying it was in fine shape?

Let's face it, both sides of the aisle are in bed with big business. Corruption reigns supreme in Washington, and that is why the voters are angry and making it known in the voting booth.
