Bribing Congress -- the right way


I've been thinking that it's about time that we got together to bribe those Senators and Representatives to vote for the change we voted in last November--and in particular the public option (why not even single payer?) health care reform.  I'm particularly interested in re-bribing those Democratic members of Congress -- and some otherwise sensible Republicans--who have sold out to big Pharma and insurance companies for the sake of campaign donations.  What if we got together a majority (necessarily bipartisan, given the 70% approval for a public option), targeted these key people, and GUARANTEED them our vote, obviating the need for campaign financing at all.  That's right.  Bribe them with a guaranteed win.  They don't seem to respond to threats of not being re-elected.  Let's make campaign financing a thing of the past for the Senators and Congresspeople we want to keep--then we can turn our attention to campaign finance reform that has some teeth.  Just a thought.  Bribery.
