I guess this eluded you...

I mean the link was eight sentences long and you missed or ignored two of them

I guess the bolded part eluded you. But you think simply knowing someone in the government, and supporting a candidate - hardly rare in agencies that do contract business with federal agencies over the years - is de facto proof of quid pro quo now?



Or just red meat to the hungry?

Dang! If only that article had, you know ... any proof. Or facts. Or was an article revealing actual quid pro quo or payoffs. Rather than "hope" and implication. But I guess we can make a rule, that if you know anybody in government or support a candidate, you cannot have a contract with the government?

It's funny you guys don't seem realize that the very rules that try to create transparency enabled your knowledge of this.

I have no problem with the fact that Newt is a Washington lobbyist. That he lies about it and tries to cover it is what will sink him.

And yes, I think lobbyist cash needs to be removed from Washington, needs to be transparent. Am I 'trying to say" or "do I believe" anything else having nothing to do with the above? I'll pre-empt the straw men with the obvious no.
