And you believed them? Who's fooling who here; the lobbyists are the Congressmens' gravy train, no matter which party they are in...

Heck. If they got rid of the lobbyist, they'd never win their elections.
Getting rid of lobbyist means they couldn't accept campaign money from China anymore.

Ethics and politics parted ways a long time ago and neither party has a monopoly on dirty dealing. Washington is in bad need of an enema.

Let's see you cons give the New Congress as much time to straighten out the messes as it took Bushco to create them.

not in the least... both parties are addicted to power and they will use any tool available to stay in power. Democrats have just proven this once again.
