who voted to attack Syria received 83 percent more campaign
contributions from defense contractors than the seven senators who voted
against it, according to
analysis from Maplight.org.

from 2007 to 2012, the analysts found that the average senator who
voted “yes” on the authorization of the use of military force took
$72,850 from defense contractors and other defense industry interests.
Senators who voted “no” received just $39,770 on average.
Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain led the pack among those in
favor, raking in about $176,000 from defense interests over five years.
Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin garnered $127,000 from the defense
industry, followed by Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, who picked up a
cool $101,000.
Of course these congressional whores, otherwise known as traitors, do.
