Please reign in your paranoia. We would be roasting you over Jim Wright and the Teamsters. That was out and out bribery. Wright left DC in disgrace, and he was a Democrat. Oh, FYI, Grover Norquist is not a GOP officer and elected official. No, andrew, it is not both. Please reign in your paranoia. We would be roasting you over Jim Wright and the Teamsters.

It can't be both? What will they do with the study once its over? Will they say things like: "The Democrats are terrified that our K Street Project is going to replicate the way that they behaved when they had the House and Senate," says Norquist." “It was a study, not an operation.”

Why? My opinion is because it is worth it for people to lobby and that is because GOVERNMENT is TOO LARGE. I'll say again that Abramoff funneled over a BILLION dollars to people of both parties for one reason. Because Indian gaming interests felt it was worth it and the payoff would be greater than the Billion.

As long as Republicans are swayed by lobbyists instead of doing the right thing (the conservative thing) they'll lose respect and trust of the voters who put them there. Republicans need to realize that they have a large conservative base (armed with the facts that ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN didn't report for over a decade) but only have that base because leftist Democrats are further to the left of center than Republicans. This country has moved left (towards bigger and bigger government) for over 6 decades and the problem IS BIG GOVERNENT. TOO many lobbyists having to float around money to curry favor with the government because the government is too large and writing in provisions specific to certain industries and companies and not others. The free market place has been replaced by government control and this essentially is the problem. If government wasn't as large, companies would not see any reason to lobby for or against legislation. Too much legislation that adversely affects companies or helps companies. Big government. It has created the need for special interest groups like the one for Indian Gaming. My question is - WHY did Indian Gaming interests think it'd be beneficial to give government over 1 BILLION dollars? What were they thinking they'd gain? Were they going to get 2 billion in return some how? Geez. Can't people get that Big government is the problem and is the reason that Government should be staying out providing health care? It would lead to rationing and cost controls and rewarding some companies and hurting others.. One thing is clear.

Of course that is assuming that voters are paying attention. Fortunately the ones who vote in primaries are the ones who usually do pay attention.
