Where is honor? And don't these politicians have any? A lobbyist can work for months finding just the right gift and arranging financing (Nigerian businessmen who want to transfer money to the US don't grow on trees). Then the politican cadges on him. Disgraceful I say!
Well I'm not voting for any politician who backs out on selling his soul to the demon god mammon! I like to know where I stand with my I'm - Going - To - Pretend - They're - Elected representatives!
Right! These are deals mutually arrived at. Personal conscience should not be a barrier to living up to them.
On a more practical level, maybe the lobbyisits can take out ads in newspapers to shame the politicians into keeping their agreements. I realize that voluntary compliance is much better, but sometimes all those guys understand is force.
