    The commercial position pipeline is the aftermath of the problem. When an industry like Big Tobacco can call up someone their long time government whore McConnell, they know he will put out every time. If they have to contend with someone new every few years, you might get a few people who have actual principles, and tell them to pound sand.

    If we get enough of principled people, we can end lobbying for good.
