That kind of politics took away my liberty. So I’ve got to re-think how I vote and start voting for somebody who isn’t in that camp and push the re-set button.

If your are interested in maintaining your liberty, don't make being a lobbyist a pejorative. Citizens have a right to band together and make their views known to the people who work for them, the legislators. They have the "right to petition the government."

I’m not disputing that. But those self same citizen lobbyists don’t have a right to cut back room deals, and use bribary to get their way at the expense of the needs of the people back home. That’s where the constitution ends and corruption begins.

Whenever there is a lobbyist from one state working to get a candidate from a different state elected Senator, that tells me that particular Senate candidate may well be in the pocket of lobby groups and will listen to the lobby groups far more than his own people back home.

The more you keep posting to me trying to get me to vote for your man, the more you turn me off and the more convinced I am that Hostettler may well be a RINO who will not care about his constitutents once he’s in D.C. Going to have to pray really really hard here that Behney wins.
