Big energy lobbyists may be cheering the bill's enactment, but ordinary Americans had better hold fast to their wallets, .. He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself. .

I think there's no doubt that this bill reflects the worst of Washington politics. It's Christmas in August for the big energy companies, and the consumers get lumps of coal. There's really nothing to cheer about by anyone who gets a utility bill or has to fill up a gas tank. The energy lobbyists are the big winners, and the rest of us are left in the dust choking.

The pro-abortion lobbyists are so hot for this bill. We expect them to bring it up for an amendment.

I think the chances of the whole bill passing are at least even and maybe a little better than even. The AT&T lobbyists went home smiling last night.

So this is what the lobbyists and other wealthy individuals got for their money. They get their overly generous share of the tax bill.

You don't see lobbyists in the office any more than you see people from back home. Lobbyists have influence on the Hill, but not as much as you might think.

Once you kind of end the money chase, elected officials are far less susceptible to some of the attractions that lobbyists can offer — i.e. travel, food, gifts, campaign contributions. Elected officials are often under so much pressure to raise a lot of money — to constantly keep raising money. That's why they have these close ties with lobbyists. Lobbyists help them raise money.

It's a diabolical bill. It put the financial body of the government in charge of deciding what is endangered, instead of biologists and scientists.

The rules were suspended, the bill was introduced and the lobbyists began pressuring legislators. The deregulation steamroller crushed everything in its path, including senior citizens, low-income people, as well as conservation and consumer groups.
