IMO, that is a convenient and ignorant generalization. Access does not always buy influence.

Access is not mentioned. But people like you rely on the ignorance of others to not understand how politicians are influenced in Washington by lobbyists.

On the issue of net neutrality, which position best represents your position. Its simple, if you are pro-consumer and pro-open Internet (that the Internet should be a public resource), you should be supporting net neutrality.

Talk about ignorant generalizations, that is one if I ever read one.

You can participate in the process as much as possible or you can treat politics as a spectator sport and simply cheer or boo from the sidelines.

Or you can examine who they are being influence by and call attention to them. It is important to expose them for the back door deals and let everyone know. There are many ways to "participate in the process".

I scare you, huh?

But then again, you never let facts get in the way.

I am impressed that you can read the minds of all of our elected officials to know what influences their votes. I guess you do have powers greater than mine to KNOW that they are influenced by money rather or more than ideology.

Actions speak louder than words.
