Because a bill written and pushed for by corporate lobbyists is such a shining example of "democracy".

Also, proposing amendments to a legislative bill is hardly undemocratic.

But killing a bill just in order to sink an opponent's candidacy is. Wink

Congressmen do that all the time. McConnell is obviously a terrible but so is nearly everyone else in Congress.
I don't think this case has happened a lot recently for saying "so is nearly everyone else in  Congress".

But maybe I'm wrong, I'm not ruling out that. So please, give me other example, I'm interested.


Does the article even provide any evidence that this was done specifically because of the 2014 NH-Sen election? I'm pretty sure McConnell would have opposed this bill either way...
