President Obama, whose campaign raised a whopping $745 million in 2007 and 2008, received a relatively small share from health-care interests ($19 million, or 2.5 percent) and insurance interests ($2 million, or 0.3 percent).

    Max Baucus is bought and paid for by Big Pharma and the Health Insurance Greedbeasts.

    He's a souless puppet who would make Boss Tweed cringe at the level and transparency of his corruption.

    You will have much blood on your hands, Max.

    As a Montana native , I am appaled at the amount of money that good ol' max pocket, and by the fact that it garners so little attention in the media. As a man who is pushing healthcare reform (which will be paying for for generations to come) , his motives should be front page news nationwide. But apparently only Montana papers care about this wolf in sheeps clothing!
