Lobbyists ~ legal corruption under color of law ~ :Thumbsdown

Include bribery in that..... comes down to the bucks. John Mertha used to ring back to his congressional territory (but he is dead). We had this local yahoo congressman who for 6 terms in office did absolutely zero for the folks back home.....when he lost his 7th term election, he was mad. No Mo Money, bless his heart.

Include? Isn't that already synonymous with Lobbyist?

What do you mean, use to bring back (money?) to his district...and...did nothing for the folks back home?

Why when they could google it on their cellphones (if they have a mind too)?

Guess I should have elaborated and said something to the effect to the point of actually reading it, studying it, and accepting the "understanding" of the authors who wrote it!

If reading and studying something on your cell phone that entail hundreds of pages is a good choice for you, so be it. Personally, I prefer a hard copy. And the point was more conducive to the reading and studying, rather than the method.

You should research him....even Wikipedia has his record & history.

I have no interest in "him".
My interest was in "your comment", "him doing for and not doing for"....per your comment...

.... "bring back (money?) to his district...and...did nothing for the folks back home?"

Uh huh. You gave me a reference point ABOUT Mertha. I asked you about "your" comment...
How you arrived at "your" comment was my interest, since it seemed to claim opposites.
What wikileaks says about Mertha was not my interest.
"Your comment" of opposites was my interest and specifically what I asked "you" about.
I did not presume wikileaks was revealing "your" opinion, thus I asked "you" about "your" comment.
