You can blame it on anything you want but

nothing will ever change until we take lobbyist out of government. The politicians are too scared to do anything that might hurt their own bottom line, MONEY. They want GOD in politics as long as he is on a ten dollar bill. America is not their concern.

1. We have to stop the money influence.

you should not be able to quit half way through a term and join a mega lobbying group, it is wrong. i thought prostitution was illegal.

The people must be the voices congress listens to, not Americans for prosperity (Koch group who are already fucking prosperous beyond belief), NRA, Energy concerns, corporate america...get them out of politics and away from politicians.

2. I agree; but would phrase it a little differently ...

Nothing will change in government until we take the lobbyists' MONEY out of government. I have no problem with lobbyists doing what they have a constitutional right to do: Petition their government. I do, however, have a big problem with how we allow them to go about it: out-right bribery.
