Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Nebraska’s Ben Sasse had the right idea when he suggested that the power of the lobbyists etc should be decentralized by putting the Capitol in the middle of nowhere and/or doing federal business via technology such as Skype so that the power is not all located in one big schmoozing media-political corruptocrazy. (typo but it fits so I’ll leave it. lol)

Mike Johanns had the same thing happen to him as happened to Cantor; he got to DC and the schmoozing corrupted him. Happens to all of them unless the people find a way to tell them who they work for and who can easily fire them.

All that would do is make the lobbying go underground.

The Devil's bargain offered to Repubs: be "bipartisan" and you will live high in DC:parties, lobbyist-paid vacations and mistresses, and the press will take no interest. Cross the real Powers, and your life goes under a microscope.
