Cable lobby and Republicans ...

Isn't that a little redundant? Aren't Republicans and big business lobbies effectively the same thing?

Good god the naïveté. Would you say Pfizer serves as an example of a big business?

Republicans handed over tons of government scratch to Pfizer and other big pharma companies.

I don't remember mentioning Democrats. Oh, wait. That's because I didn't.

I know. I did. It’s in the title of the post, too.

You mentioned Republicans. Then I mentioned Democrats. Fascinating.

Anyway, the Republicans weren’t the only party that used government power to shovel money toward big business.
