Well Ron Paul accepts money from anyone, he'd take money from lobbyists, and I welcome lobbyists to give him money.

But lobbyists don't give Ron Paul money because he follows the Constitution.

I don't believe Kucinich accepts lobbyist money either.

Obama had a lot of talk about not giving lobbyists positions in his cabinet, etc.. now his cabinet is full of a bunch of lobbyists.

The Constitution is a much better way to rate your representatives than whether they take lobbyist money.

I believe that John Hostettler, who was a Congressman from Indiana who was defeated in 2006, flat out refused all lobbyist donations in all of the 6 or so times he ran for Congress.

DO VOTE for someone who takes lobbyist money and still votes against their interests and votes for non-interventionism. Who cares if they take their money and fucks them over anyway? I don't.

Absolutely.
Those who take big "donations" from these lobbies end up being their sluts.

I see zero wrong with accepting lobbyist political contributions. I won't vote for someone who changes votes based on contributions, but that's a separate issue.

If the gun lobbyists want to hand Dr. Paul money that helps him get elected because he has never voted against gun rights, what's the big deal?

The thing that worries me about lobbyist is the pharmaceutical companies and Monsanto because they have so much control over our health and food. I don't like it. I guess these are the lobbyist that I don't want to see controlling politics.

Big Pharma and Big Food lobbies certainly have some politicians in their pockets to get policies pushed that may not be best for the health of the people.

Other lobbying groups that have caused great damage to our economic and social well being are lobbies like AIPAC and CUFI. We have many domestic poisons in our political system causing damage but much of the recent damage to our overall well being has been done by foreign bodies. In any case, many of these lobbies are into buying politicians and are no good.
