Uhhhhhhhhh, how much to run a political campaign these days? That along with lobbyists and special interest groups/lawyers clog Capitol Hill with bucks and perks to the politicians, would you go against your chief money funder by examining their business practices? NAW, it'd be POLITICAL SUICIDE and they know it. I find it really nuts that when Dems were in White House, gas 99 cents gal, W the republican come into house, BAMMMMMMM!!!!! outa sight gas!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe payback to his oil buddies for getting him in by funding campaign?
