If I wrote the rules of Congress, you couldn't have a first degree relative being a paid lobbyist. Father, mother, brother, sister, WIFE, son, daughter. Convince them to quit or you quit. It is such an obvious conflict of interest it just shouldn't be tolerated.

I agree. Having a wife, sibling, parent or child as a lobbyist should be an immediate disqualification from holding office. It is a shame the most voters don't seem to have the same attitude.

How can it be a conflict of interest if it was ok for Tom Daschle's wife?? We all know she wouldnt be involved in a conflict of interest, her husband wouldnt allow that. Well she was a Democrat.

Please tell dirty Harry Reid whose son is a lobbyist.
