More proof Monsanto owns media and has liberals in back pocket.

Not one mention of this in the news.

lol, you are trying to frame anti-monsanto sentiments as a conservative thing? Really?

Clearly you didn't read the article cause I posted it and you had a response 2 minute later.

Nope, wasn't replying to the article, just your commentary.

Then if you actually would read instead of you having a knee jerk reaction you would see it was a Democrat Senator that is against this.

I read it, so your accusation that it has liberals in its back pocket is even more ridiculous, when the only person we see being against it in the article is a liberal.

Your anti-liberal bias is mind blowing, even when you fully agree with what liberals say you still can't help yourself pretending they are in the wrong.

That's a blatant misrepresentation. I dislike a lot of things about current American politics and attitudes, and I love a lot about America's ideals, my opinions on the US are complex, as the US is a complex country, but they are not Anti-American.

Oh yeah, German politics are far less interesting.

So you won't discuss the article with me? All you want to do is ignore it?

Fine take politics out of it an focus on the issue. Monsanto is screwing people over.

On the issue I completely agree with you. Monsanto has way too much influence in politics, it has unjust laws in it favour and it is screwing people over.

So how do we stop them?

Campaign Finance Reform is probably one of the best bets.

When the same people that enter policics come from these companies and when they leave, they go work for these companies it's obvious what's going on.

Yeah, that is a big issue as well. There needs to be a lot more oversight, and I also agree that politicians should not be able to just pick up working in industries they have previously legislated. Worse than just politicians though, it also goes to their staff, who are influenced or even bought by lobbying groups.

I have not seen one president do anything about this or legislative body since I have been alive.
