I just heard about this yesterday, Oct. 28, on the Rachel Maddow show. Senator Leiberman supposedly has ties to the health insurance industry as well and stands to benefit financially if a public option does not pass. What is amazing is that these elected officials are allowed to vote on an issue that will result in personal huge financial rewards. Why is this not a conflict of interest. This level of corruption is truly appalling. Who’s interest is main street media protecting?

I completely agree about your comments on Bayh’s unethical connection to income from the current healthcare system, and his being able to vote on health care reform (why isn’t it called health care INSURANCE reform, by the way?). I do not know why the media is not picking up on it. The only thing I can think of, is that the media does not see him as a player worth noting. And Indiana is reluctant to give up the “golden boy” image he projects and start seriously pondering the truth (no coincidence that Indiana’s literacy rate is also very low).

Rick, please don’t stop pointing out problems with our elected officials, because it is becoming obvious the blogs are the only “reporting” that happens in this country because of all the money connections between the mainstream media and the political parties.
