I was a little put out that Sen. Trent Lott was leaving as minority whip to become a lobbyist now as if he stayed the "two year" deal would come into effect. that said I feel it would cost one of the poorest states in the Union hard needed cash. Now that i find out his son is a lobbyist, it doesn't mean as much. Horse racing?

Answer 1

Not if they are doing it to a wide extent.

Hillary's take from the medical industry really concerns me.

Especially after the way she laid down to everything they wanted the last time Bill was in office.

She obviously can't be trusted.

Answer 2

In immediately's political ecosystem you desire the endorsement of Transnational firms and there efficient lobbyists . the unhappy area is those firms want whats suitable for them and if it interferes with whats suitable for us that would not certainly be counted. familiar individuals are not waiting to make contributions that quantity of chilly money to the political area and that they have got greater effect because of the fact of it whilst they're in user-friendly terms some. that's the reason whether u love or hate or do not care approximately Ron Paul the quantity of money we the individuals can advance without plenty help from the media in his case is a great element for Democracy, in basic terms like Deans marketing campaign , it shows that individuals have become a greater area of the political technique as money is taken into consideration one of the two best issues in prevailing. yet Paul's marketing campaign is the subsequent step, and that i'm useful in 2012 the internet would be much greater influential, offered that a candidate that's not a stooge of organization remains allowed to run, BE careful the Loudest Voices in the two events could cut back the quantity of people we are in a position to vote for, which in basic terms ends up in much less democracy , and turning out to be a reliable carry on the communicate that happens, no dissent here sir.

Answer 3

Its a CONSPIRACY THEORY to think a lobbyist has influence on the politician more than a single vote.

Saying that, there is nothing wrong with Giuliani's law firm lobbying for Hugo Chavez's oil company.

*First hundreds of thousands, and millions of dollars are being paid to politicians. Then somehow that money means more than ethics and morals. Let me guess, next thing we will put a man on the moon and make laser guns.

If the politician had a choice to save 2 drowning people. One a citizen, the other a lobbyist with a mystery suitcase. Who would that politician pull from the water to safety?

Answer 4

Sure - what difference does that make? Being a lobbyist is just a job. You work for someone but that doesn't necessarily mean that they support the position of their "employer."

Answer 5

well since I do not trust any, except two, then I would have to say, No, this election now is getting out of hand, I just pray that every one makes the right choices, and what's best for the people of the USA!!!

Answer 6

We have the best politicians that money can buy! They're all prostitutes in my opinion. I vote for the lesser of two evils which means I never vote for a liberal.

Answer 7

They all do that. What's the difference if they accept one million, or two million? It's part of politics, and you can't get elected without all that money.

Vote for Rudy!

Answer 8

I dont think it makes a bit of difference. It's something for their opposition to throw at them when they have no other ammunition.

Answer 9

I would be suspicious. I would think they would owe a lot of favors that would prevent them from being fair and impartial.

Answer 10

lord no it generally means they are bought and paid for.
