Look, we're always going to have lobbyists and Democrats need money from somewhere. It's not so bad, we're still far better than they are, we still stand for the right things. If you want a completely clean and honest government, go to some New England town with a Congregationalist background and only 200 people. Otherwise, if you're going to live in the real world, you're going to live in a world of lobbyists and pacs. Not all PACs are bad, some are working for good things afterall, like better Medicare coverage of medical procedures, et. al. As Democrats we need to use the system in order to change the system. We need more pro-consumer pacs. The problem now is that big business has all the power and all the pacs. Democrats can change this. The Big Dawg changed it. Begala and Carville changed it. I'd like to see K Street swarming with people who will look after our interests for a change. That's the only way we're going to get National Health Insurance.
