I don't think Americans would want to vote for a lobbyist in a general election.

OH, and BTW, Dick Morris has no INSIDE information. It’s mostly just his spin and wordings.

I don't think anybody with any sense reads and/or believes anyone made famous for sucking whores toes. Does something to one creditability!

Let me help you with your understanding of that word:

Lobbyist

Lobbying is a concerted effort designed to achieve some result, typically from government authorities and elected officials. It can consist of the outreach of legislative members, public actions (e.g. mass demonstrations, blog postings, letters to your representative, and even editorials), or combinations of both public and private actions (e.g. encouraging constituents to contact their legislative representatives, donating monies and/or efforts).

As a professional occupation it is also known as "government affairs" or "public affairs". Practitioners may work in specialist organizations or as part of government relations or as public relations consultancies.

In other words, you are a lobbyist, I am a lobbyist, as well as paid lobbyists. So, THIS 35 years of voting experience American would, very much, VOTE for a lobbyist.

Lobbying is protected under the 1st Amendment, the right to free speech.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I thank God that lobbying is legal and honorable.

Why not? At least he's been working in the private sector. I'll take a conservative lobbyist over a socialist ANY time.

Welp, looks like you pulled a 'post-and-run'. Thanks for playing. Here is your lovely parting gift, suitable for framing...

Haley Barbour was one of the most successful lobbyists on K Street.

I’d vote for him in a heartbeat!

There's nothing wrong with lobbying. It's no different than being a lawyer picked randomly from the Yellow Pages.

Did you know, by the way, that lobbying is specifically protected by the First Amendment?
