He’s talking about voting against lobbyist’s interests, who is being courted by them, even after enjoying their “hospitalities.”

James Big Daddy Unruh:

On campaign contributions: “Money is the mother’s milk of politics.” 1966

On lobbyists: “If you can’t eat their food, drink their booze, screw their women and then vote against them you’ve got no business being up here.”

Other versions exist, for instance “If you can’t eat their food, drink their booze, screw their women, take their money and then vote against them, you have no business being up here.”
