Reply #11: No, I am not suggesting that the Democratic Party is immune from special interest money

and we all know enough Democrats in Congress gave this administration a free pass

However, the deregulation of the media started with Reagan, and the erosion of the fairness and equal time doctrine, along with the banking industry, an culmunated with Bill Clinton insuring that it became law

My point isn't that special interest money doesn't go to both parties, but that there is a far greater interest with the republicans to deregulate everything compared to the Democrats

The S&L crisis, the energy crisis, along with the current financial crisis, all had to do with removal of oversight

Ironically, it was the removal of oversight by Congress over the executive branch that helped bring us where we are today
