Campaign reform advocate finds himself in hot water
I love how folks even allegedly on my side of the aisle, make NO distinction between “legal lobbyist” efforts (as in the case of Thompsons lobby clients) and “campaign funding fraud” as in the case of those Thompsons senate committee investigated and attempted to prosecute.
It’s awful when even people on my own team can’t tell the difference any more...
Kinda like the difference between “legal immigrants” and “illegal invaders”... Only a HUGE difference...
Lobby work has a simple fix. Get Washington out of BUSINESS and free enterprise, and I’m sure you’ll find no corporation wasting money on lobbying congress for anything.
Retire politicians willing to extract bribes from lobbyists, and lobbyists will return to legal lobby work.
Start with the Democrats!
Thanks for the link, Cal...I’ll be checking that out.
