LIE OF THE WEEK: 04-28-2006
Sen. Hillary Clinton is her usual demagogue self on the high gas price issue:
"With gas prices skyrocketing and President Bush and the Republicans in Congress refusing to act to ease the burden on American families and businesses. ... Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y. and Sen. Clinton will join a local small business owner and local residents in Queens at a press conference at a local gas station, highlighting the burden placed on Americans having to pay outlandish prices at the pump."
THE TRUTH: She is just as guilty as every other member of Congress for doing nothing to stop the gouging by the big 5 oil companies. And just like every other member of Congress, it's clear why by looking at the records of corporate contributions to her campaign committee:

The only way to stop Congress from selling out the American people on every single issue is to do away with the idea that corporations have the same rights as individuals to free speech, including campaign contributions. Once we stem the flow of corrupting money, we will quickly see Congress and the President reign in corporate abuse in every area of American life.
