re: #204 Obdicut

Are you just denying the existence of lobbying groups, or that they have an effect, or what?

It’s precisely this sort of thing that makes these discussion so difficult:

1) Who can deny that lobbying groups exist? No sane or well-informed person.

2) Who can deny that lobbying groups have no effect? Well, aside from those who dropped big bucks and got no results, no sane or well-informed person.

Here’s what I;m denying - the absurd charge that the Chamber of Commerce (the freakin’ Chamber of Commerce, people! They’ve got chapters in nearly every town! How high does this plot go?) is funneling contributions from foreign multinationals (the POTUS’ People’s Enemy of the Month) to corrupt our political process and thereby impede the eschaton the Republican party have thus far denied us.
