Are Lobbyist Good Or Bad For Government?

This isn't a politics thread, plus you can't have a half arse normal discussion on the politics board.
With that said do you think lobbyist are good or bad for government and the people who live under that government? Or is it not as simple as yes or no?

Lobbyists are bad because they are working for their interests and not the interests of taxpayers. I would say the same about politicians.

The Poli Board isn't the problem. It's your inability to logically think through things before talking.

Not as bad as your threads, but pretty bad

Have you ever been to politics board? Does anything on that board suggest anything close to logic?

Good.
They're basically consultants and have very strict controls over what they can and cannot do.
Most politicians aren't educated on details.

Yes I have been to politics board often.
There are nuts on both sides of the spectrum, but the middle ground people are very informed and intelligent on world matters.

Look here Ice Cream. Stop being a fricking pussy. Does it really bother you that some jackass on a message board made a bet to ban himself for (was it a month? I forgot how long I said I would ban myself for) so certain period only to come back days after taking the self ban?
Is that what you consider serious business in your life? If so... Go get a new one buddy.

They are paid by companies to grease the pockets of politicians, which sways votes in one way or another.
What do you think.
The oil/gas lobbyist in Louisiana have screwed the state out of more money that Edwin Edwards could in 10 lifetimes. And continue to daily.

Wrong. It's virtually impossible for registered lobbyists. Palm greasers aren't usually lobby.

Theoretically they do.. But do you honestly think the big ones play by the rules? I am not saying all of them don't play by the rules because I have no idea, but I do know there are some that do not exactly play by the rules.

Most of the shite you get here is undeserved. But this one you got coming.
Take a month off Chris. Post on Texags or SurlyHorns. It might earn you a few empathy points when you come back.

Everything in life is principles Chris, and you have none.
That shows your character. And that’s why everyone can’t stand you, in here or in life.
Your parents likely weep at the fact of your existence. Not because of the defect in your genes, but because of the defect of your character
