It looks like Dick ‘toe’ Morris is worried. I wouldn’t worry about the people voting for a lobbyist, after all, lobbyists in itself aren’t bad.

I believe Margaret Thatcher used to call Ronald Reagan, “the best lobbyist in America”.

..and if people don't remember, Reagan was a lobbyist for the tobacco industry, GE, and the SAG. I'm sure Morris doesn't want this comparison coming up.

Lady Thatcher meant that because Ronald Reagan was so likable he made friends for the USA, NOT that he was an actual lobbyist!

As I said in #36, Ronald Reagan was NEVER a lobbyist! He hosted a TV show, General Electric Theater. That is quite different than being a lobbyist in Washington DC for over 20 years.

Please stop spreading false rumors!
