4. A congressmen or representative who's campaign is paid for by a wealthy contributor(s) to fool the people that he is to represent into believing he has their best interests in mind when in fact he's doing the bidding of the wealthy contributor(s).
I voted for those dumbasses and they don't reflect my opinion at all. Instead of representatives they should be called misrepresentatives, he ain't no representative he's a misrepresentative.

"The wealthy Electric and Coal Corporations paid for your campaign congressman," said the lobbyist, "you need to vote against that bill, even though you and I know it would be in the best interest of the people in your district to breathe clean air."
